Audio plays in timeline but not during preview
This is my first time working with audio in Storyline, though I've done plenty of projects without audio. I'm trying to add just a basic click sound when learners click a button. The triggers all lo...
Hi Carolyn, the issue you are finding with this is, because your trigger is going to another slide, the navigation is taking place before the audio has chance to play.
I also noticed, the the Play audio trigger was after Jump to slide. Swapping these didn't have any impact unfortunately.
I think it's going to be quite an arduous task to set this up so that the audio plays and then navigates. Basically, you would need to give the audio opportunity to play, and then have the navigation trigger on media complete.
This is fine on the first slide, as there is navigation in only one direction, but for other slides it is more complex.
What I have done on slide 1.2 is given all of the navigation buttons an extra state "selected". I then placed the buttons into a button set by selecting all of those buttons, right click and select Button Set (I had to modify your home button so it wasn't a group to do this). Adding the buttons to a set means only one at time can be in the "selected" state. We can then use that to determine where to navigate to when the audio has finished playing.
See the attached file for an implementation example.
