Audio on Layers when you revisit
- 20 days ago
SuzanneCarson-b: Here's the problem: On the base and each layer is a trigger that plays the audio "when the timeline of this [slide/layer] starts," with the condition that the variable = True.
A "when timeline starts on this slide" trigger runs every time a user revisits a slide, even if the revisiting properties are set to "Resume saved state."
Strangely, it appears that the "when timeline starts on this layer" triggers also run when revisiting the slide—but only on the layers that were previously opened.
- This seems like a bug to me, so I suggest you submit a case to Articulate. https://access.articulate.com/support/contact
In the meantime, the attached file has a workaround. The triggers have been changed so the audio plays when the timeline reaches 0.1 seconds.
Note: There are still issues with the Play, Pause, Stop buttons. I suggest you delete the Stop button, since stopping the audio is the same as pausing it.
I'd also use just one toggling button for Pause/Play, with the Normal state being used to Pause and the Selected state being used to Play (or vice versa). Have a trigger that sets the state based on the T/F variable. The attached "demo" file shows how this sort of button works.
Hi and thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately, no luck. I added triggers to close all layers as you suggested. I thought this was genius! But it didn't solve it. I also played with the Slide Properties. Neither "Resume Saved State" or "Reset to Initial State" worked.
I appreciate the ideas though, it was great to have some options to try.
