Timeline Doesn't Automatically Start
Jan 10, 2018
Hello, I am using Storyline 2. There is one slide in my course where the timeline doesn't automatically begin when I test it in Preview (also when it is published for our LMS). I've set up the timeline so that I can see an image and hear the audio begin a few seconds after moving to the slide (see image below).
I can get the timeline to work:
- If I move to the next slide and click the Previous button (the timeline automatically starts).
- If I click the Play button in the controls at the bottom of the screen.
There are no triggers other than the Jump to Next Slide and Jump to Previous slide. There is only the Base Layer. There are no States.
Any suggestions on what would be preventing the timeline from automatically playing on this one slide of the course?

Hi Karen
hard to say without seeing the file. Could there be a stray trigger on the master slide? or can you share the slide might be easier if we can take a look for you.
Are you running the latest update of SL2?
Wendy,
Thank you for responding to my inquiry. Yes, I have the latest version of Storyline 2. Even after zipping the file, it exceeds the allowable limit allowed by my email system. Is there another way that I can send the file to you?
I've only included a few slides from the course. As I was adjusting the course I discovered that the problem actually seems to be with the Sequence quiz slide (see below). If I remove it then the timeline automatically begins on the next slide. If the Sequence quiz slide is moved to another location, it prevents the timeline from playing on the following slide.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hey Karen
looks like you responded via email and unfortunately any attachments won't display in the forum. You'll need to come in and use the grey 'add attachment' button at the bottom of the post.
We've discovered a quiz slide prevented the timeline from playing on the following slide. The problem was fixed by editing the quiz slide. The trigger on the Continue button was changed from Hide Layer to Jump to Next Slide.
Great news - glad you got it sorted Karen.
