Play audio after all markers are visited and after audio on markers are finished playing
I have a slide that plays audio when the slide starts. We'll call this audio the Main Audio.
I also have 5 Markers on the slide. Each Marker has audio in it. The audio plays when the learner selects/clicks them.
I have a separate audio track that I'd like to play on the slide AFTER all Markers are Visited and AFTER the audio finishes on the last Marker that is selected. We can call this the Secondary Audio.
I have tried adding a trigger that pauses the Secondary Audio. And then added a trigger to play the Secondary Audio when all of the Markers are visited. BUT, the Secondary Audio plays while the last Marker's audio is still playing. Basically, the last Marker's audio is overlapping the Secondary Audio.
How can I have the Secondary Audio play AFTER the last Marker's audio is finished?
Thanks,
Mike

The attached file demonstrates one way to do what you want. The trick is to put the secondary audio and the audio associated with the markers on layers. That lets you control when the user can click, so the audios won't overlap.
Hi Judy,
Thank you for the reply. I tried this but it was still playing the audio as the last Marker's audio was playing. I ended up doing a work around.
I kept the additional layer where the Secondary audio played. But I made the Next button jump to the additional layer and added a button to that additional layer so that the learner could progress to the next slide in the course. This way the learner isn't stuck in some sort of loop. I hope that makes sense. I would share the file but I am unable to because of the sensitivity of the topic.
Doing it this way made sure the audio never overlapped. Also, I disabled the Next button until all of the states were visited which stopped the learner from not listening to the Markers.
I think I confused myself trying to explain it but it is working correctly :-)
Thanks,
Mike
