Visited slide - not playing the Audio again

Feb 26, 2013

Hi,

If we wish to have an image appearing differently - it is easy to use the states.

But what is I want an audio file to be played the first time, but not the next time I visit the page?

Currently we used a work-around, duplicating the slide, so after the branching, you go back to a similar slide, without the audio.

Thanks!

Create a variable - e.g. "audioplayed" = False

Have your audio playing as normal on the first slide.

Once you leave the first slide - have a Trigger on the next slide that sets variable "audioplayed" = True.

Set up a Trigger/Condition back on the first slide that says "Play audio xxx when Timeline starts IF audioplayed = FALSE.

It will only play once.
