Hi John,

I have followed your advice (except that I called the variable "playonce") as I was following another post, but it just does not work for me.  The audio will start again when I return to it. The variable is working because it chances to "true" (I added a text box with "false" on it) Can you help? please see my screenshots with the triggers I have added.

I have tried different things with the slide properties " Resume saved state" and "reset to initial state" and it does not work with any of those two.

I wonder if I should add more variables considering that on the screen that the audio is played it is also shown different images aligned with the audio and I want the learner when they return to the slide with the audio to see the latest images that were displayed. Should I add another trigger? or should the audio trigger be enough?

    Hi Karen

    is the playonce variable only referenced once on that slide or are you reusing it on other slides?

    If you can share your .story file someone can take a look and try to help you.
