Timing the triggers
May 21, 2013

I need assistance on how to make trigger 1 ACTUALLY happen before trigger 2.
Here's the scenario... user presses button, trigger 1 is an audio clip that plays "upon click". Trigger 2 is a "jump to" that I want to happen immediatly after the audio clip plays. My problem is that if I set trigger 2 to play "upon click" as well....it skips right over the audio. Even though the order has been adjusted in the trigger box. What should I set for trigger 2's "what" instead of "upnon click?" I cant seem to find an intuitive option.
Do I need to put in a condition? if so, what/how?
More info: The audio plays in a layer. the layer ONLY has audio.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Sarah, have you tried when media completes?
How did you change the object? I tried "media completes" but still tied to the button it does nothing....
Hi Sarah,
Attached is a sample project with the Media completes trigger. The trigger exists on the audio layer and is tied to the sound object. To create the trigger, you need to have the audio layer selected.
I knew it had to be something that simple!!! I looked and looked and looked for a way to change the object to the audio, but it wasnt there before bc every time I had selected "add trigger" my "button" was also highlighted. Got it working now. Thanks folks!
What I am trying to do is create a trigger that waits until the media file completes but also requires the user to click on an object. I've thought I was there a couple of times but ran into this interesting problem: the jump to the next layer only occurred if the button was clicked before the media completed. If the user waited until the audio file finished and then clicked the object, nothing happened.
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Make object visible when audio completes.
Jump when object is clicked.
Yes, that would work, thank you. However, the object is part of the base layer of the slide and the folks I'm working for want to keep it there and visible....
Can you share your file with us, Dianne? That'll help us to get a better idea of how you set up this slide. Thanks!
