It's hard to tell, without seeing the .story file.
My guess is that you can put each audio on its layer, and set them to play when the timeline starts (which is default behavior, so you don't have to do anything). New layers default to hide other layers, so if you don't change that, each new click should represent a new layer, which should hide the visible layer, and stop its audio.
Hi Leslie, Thanks for your reply. I tried those suggestions and I'm still having trouble. I would think what I'm trying to do would be a pretty common task, but I can't find out how to do it. I've attached the slide for you. All I want to do is when the user clicks the button/picture, it bounces to the layer and plays that audio. If the user clicks another button/picture before the prior audio is complete, I'd like the audio to stop and play the current audio for the button/pic they just chose.
I'd like for all layers/answers to show at the end of the slide when the user is done reviewing all options.
Hi Walt, Thanks for your reply. I tried putting the audio on the layers as well as the base layer and the audio still overlays. I would think what I'm trying to do would be a pretty common task, but I can't find out how to do it. I've attached the slide for you. All I want to do is when the user clicks the button/picture, it bounces to the layer and plays that audio.

I'd like for all layers/answers to show at the end of the slide so I can't hide the layers when done, they all need to be shown at the end of the slide.

Hi Lisa!
Perhaps this reply by Donna will assist you as it assisted others with a similar issue.

Hi Lisa
see if the attached works for you - I have added 'pause media' triggers for all the audio clips
Wendy, I need to buy you lunch!! Thank you-thank you! Its perfect!
I kept saying there should be a way to select all media to pause, but I would've never thought using "when state" on a trigger.
Can't thank you enough :) Have a great day!!
Lisa
So glad Wendy was able to assist you and teach you about triggers at the same time :) Thanks for popping in with an update.
Glad to help Lisa and good luck with your project!
