no audio on timeline

After reading some other tutorials on this site (I love the e-Learning Heroes community!) I have realized what is happening and why I am having this issue. I had tracked the problem to the fact that I am tying the audio to a custom button. When I read this tutorial (http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/seekbar-doesnt-control-triggered-audio), I learned that when using a custom button to play audio, it separates the audio from the timeline. It all clicked for me when I read this sentence: "Audio that plays only when triggered is divorced from the slide's timeline, since it requires certain conditions to be met first (such as clicking a button)."  Since I had asked the question on here, I wanted to be sure and provide information on the resolution.
