Audio must complete before clicking button
Hello-
I apologize if this has topic been reviewed in the discussion posts; I haven't been able to find it. Also, I am a Storyline beginner, so I am learning as I go.
On a slide I am creating, I need the intro audio to complete and also, when a button is clicked that audio needs to complete before the learner can click on another button on the slide. What trigger would I create to accomplish that?
Thank you in advance.
Hello Judy-
Thank you for the insightful information! The instructions on preventing slide layers were very helpful.
There are a couple of ways you could go about this - without seeing your slide, but assuming you have multiple buttons. What I would first do is either place a blocker over the slide or buttons (e.g., a rectangle shape and then format it to have no outline and 99% transparency) and have the shape end/exit the slide just before the initial audio ends.
Then, assuming there are multiple buttons, I would select them all, right-click, button set, and assign a button set. This makes it so only one is clickable at a time and would prevent overlapping audio.Let me know if this helps :)
Hi Ashley-
Your advice was very helpful! I placed a white rectangle over the buttons that aligned with the audio. So, when the audio completes, the rectangle is removed, and the buttons appear for the learners to click. Thank you!

you could animate in the buttons after the audio completes
