Storyline Quiz - audio should play on Retry but not Review buttons

Hi Li! You're slide properties are what drives this, so having them to be set to 'Resume to saved state' is probably causing your issue. In order for the audio to re-start, you would need them to be set to "Resume to initial state'. With the variable that you have created, have you tried to set it up like this? It's hard to understand this 'blindly' and if you could share your .story file that would probably be helpful as well so that we can understand what we are working with.

Hi Leslie - thanks for the reply. Yes, i set the properties of the quiz slides to Reset to initial state. However, this caused the results slide to reset as well when the user reviews the quiz (so the result is lost). Just wondered if there is a work-around?

The file is too large to post here, but can dropbox it and share with you.

That sounds great Li, just share the dropbox link with me and I'll take a look.

Hi Li! Glad that I was able to assist you, just let me know if you need anything further.

Hi,

I'm having the exact same problem! My slides are set to 'resume saved state' to preserve the answers when the user reviews the quiz, but the audio then doesn't play when they retry the quiz. I've set a true/false variable on the Results Slide, which is false initially but set to true when the user clicks on the Review button, or false when they click on the Retry button. Then on the question slide I've set the audio to play on timeline start only when the variable is false. Now the audio does play on the Retry but also on the Review, even though I've set the variable not to! Help would be appreciated

I can put the file on Dropbox if you like but not sure how to share the link...

Thanks,

Steph

Hi Stephanie! If you have a Public folder in Dropbox, then you will be able to right click on your file and share the public link. If you cannot post it here, then please send me a link in a PM.

I am experiencing the same issue. What is the fix for this?

set the review layer to pause the baselayer

I am having the same issue and have a possible solution.

I'm thinking of moving the Audio into the LAYER.
Add a variable isReview = False.
On Timeline start, check the variable isReview. If it is FALSE, Show the Audio Layer.

On a button REVIEW QUIZ, set the variable isReview = True.
On a Try Again Quiz button or Start Quiz button, set the variable isReview = False.

Hope this helps

Thanks Rex for sharing what you've done here and I'm glad you were able to figure out a solution. This thread is a bit older, so I'm not certain folks are subscribed but it always helps to have more examples. 

Thank you very much, Phil! That was the easiest trick to deal with this problem.
