How will this story end?

Any help would be appreciated.

Jilo,

What a great idea!  I've been pondering this over the weekend and thinking about the best approach. 

A couple of quick thoughts:

1. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to simply keep the audio as one file (to avoid inconsistent speech). My fear is that if you break it up into different bits, it may sound too mechanical.  You could keep it as one file for the read, and then break it up for individual click on words.

2. Instead of using state changes tied to the start of the individual audio files (I think maybe this is where you were headed?), what if you simply used a highlight timed to each word?

I've attached a sample.  In this sample I:

a. Broke the text into individual words on the base layer (added state change for each word).

b. Placed the audio on a new layer.

c. Added a trigger on the base layer to show the audio layer

d. Added a timed highlight for each word on the audio layer

e. Added a hotspot for each word (on the audio layer) so user can click each word to hear it.

f. Recorded each word individually as part of the trigger creation process.

g. Added a trigger to change the state of each word when the hotspot is clicked.

I hope this helps!
