Playing media file AFTER other media on slide completes

I have a screen where the learner would click on a button to hear audio.  There are 7 different audio files, on different layers. The slide begins with introductory audio that explains what to do...

Hi Meriel,

Thanks for describing what you're experiencing on your slide! I'm not sure there's an easy fix for this design, as a marker is considered Visited the moment you click on it and not when a trigger to play audio is completed.

I've attached a sample file where I've put together something I think will help:

  1. I've added intro and ending audio files on the base layer.
  2. I placed a couple of markers on a slide layer that pauses the timeline of the base layer. You can set this in the slide layer properties.
  3. I've set up triggers to play the audio attached to each marker, and once the media completes for both, it will hide the layer and resume the timeline.

Feel free to use this as a guide!

    Hello Ren

    I appreciate you coming back to me so quickly. I understand what you have created but I can’t get it to work on my story as my marker audio doesn’t appear as a separate item on my timeline (it is embedded in the marker). See screenshot below. So I can’t sent the triggers for each ‘Audio’ piece.

    Thanks
