Timeline Issue

I have a slide on which text appears at certain moments in the timeline. 

I would like the timeline to begin ONLY AFTER a user clicks a speaker icon to play an audio file.

As it now stands, if a user comes to this slide and does nothing, the timeline still plays and the text appears without the accompanying audio, or if a user clicks the speaker after waiting for a few seconds, the text doesn't appear in sync with the audio.

Anyone? Thanks :)

    Here are a few options you could try:

    • Put the audio and its accompanying text on a layer. Then use clicking the speaker icon to show the layer. 
    • If you keep the audio and text on the base, use a trigger that pauses the timeline when the timeline starts. Then use clicking the speaker icon to restart the timeline.
