Stop audio on layer when changing slides...
This should be simple?!
I have slide01 and slide02. There is audio on slide01 and two layers, each with different audio, on slide02. If the user is on slide02 base layer and clicks PREVIOUS, the audio for slide02 stops, the user is taken to slide01, and slide01 audio plays. However, if the user is on a layer on slide02 and clicks PREVIOUS, the audio on the slide02 layer AND audio from slide01 play simultaneously.
I tried adding a trigger in the layer to stop the audio when the user clicks PREVIOUS, but PREVIOUS is on the base layer, so I can't add a trigger on the layer. And I tried adding a trigger turning off all audio on PREVIOUS on the base layer, but only the audio from that base layer is available to stop, not the audio from the layer.
This has to be simple! What am I missing??
Thanks, Ange! I installed the updated version, but that didn't help. And then I changed those layers to 'reset to initial state' and that seems to have fixed it. I have to admit I'm not exactly sure why, but at this point I'm just happy to be able to move on!!
Hi Carrie, I don't think you are missing anything. Default (no customization added) should be straightforward - no triggers needed to stop audio playing on last slide viewed when a different slide is being viewed/played, regardless of the path to get there (base, layer, interaction...). I am wondering if it could be a bug. I have seen a few posts recently with similar issue.
