Stopping sound on other layers
Hi,
What I did is this: On each layer I added these triggers: "Pause timeline on layer2 when timeline (of the current layer) starts" etc for any other layers. Works for me...Hope it adds value to the issue.
What if I want to resume the audio from the previous slide layer clicked?
Hi there, Rick. Do you have your layer properties set to pause the timeline of the base layer? That will ensure that each layer has its own timeline.
What are your triggers to show different layers and to hide them? When you leave a layer, the timeline of that layer pauses. When you revisit a layer, the timeline should resume, and the audio should play.
Let us know what you think!
It worked for me when the layer is not set to hide other layers
Yes as stated previously by others in this thread, the issue is when the layers are visible, not hidden. When visible, pausing the base layer does nothing and the audio from the other slide layers will still overlap each other. There have been plenty of great solutions posted so far in this thread—either by using variables, states, or triggers.
Thanks, Peter! This solved my issue - and didn't require restructuring a lot of slides that we'd already built.
Genius!!! Thank you. :)
