Starting new media when revisiting a slide

May 03, 2013

Hello!

I'm wondering if it's possible to start new media (audio track) when a user re-visits a slide? I'm not finding a trigger that seems to match what I'm trying to accomplish. Essentially, it's an agenda slide with buttons that trigger/take you to different scenes. At the end of a scene, the trigger drops the user back the agenda slide, and I'd like it to say something like "Welcome back, now let's take a look at...." Something like that

I'd appreciate any help. I can't seem to find the answer. Thank you!

Thank you for the quick response, Arend!

I tried what you suggested, and edited the variable a couple of different ways to see if it went play the 2nd layer upon revising. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to work. Instead, I decided just to duplicate the slide and edit the state of the button so that it appeared as a "visited" state based on the colors, but really it was an entirely different slide. Then I just adjusted the trigger from the slides that go back to the agenda to go to "agenda 2, agenda 3, and so on..." this way they have their own audio tracks.

I do find it odd that there isn't a trigger for "show slide layer" and "upon revisiting." Seems like that would make a lot of sense! Maybe in a future release

Thank you for your help,

Lindsay

Lindsey, I know it's been a while but I ran into the same issue on a course and wanted to check back with you. Gerry's solution appears to be correct. I would also view this: https://player.vimeo.com/video/145579332

Once you create your variable to play the first audio file once, create a second trigger that plays the media when the variable is set to true.
