What I want to do is when the learner comes to the page first, the audio will play automatically… then if they come back to the page/slide, I want the next layer to appear that gives them a button to play the audio again…..
I created a T/F variable called playonce.
Then I tried to create triggers for the rest…. Saying that the layer that includes the button only appears after the variable is false.
Because its not working, I am also not able to user click to the slide 1.3.
Ok, I feel really dense. I used a playOnce variable in a project before successfully, now I cannot find it. Nothing I see out here works, and I know it must be simple.
I have the variable written as:
Name = playOnce, Type = True/False, Default Value = False
I have looked at several articles today including this one, and do not find the answer to my effort.
1. I have six buttons on a slide, and each button should go to one of six other slides. Simple enough with a Jump to slide X trigger.
2. I have a Return to menu button, which also uses a Jump to slide trigger. When I return to the menu of six buttons, the audio plays all over again. I don't want it to.
3. What is the playOnce trigger Action, When, and Condition if applicable, and do I put it on every on each of the six buttons?
4. What do I need to do to the Return to Menu button on each page?

Start with “Play media when timeline starts on this slide if playonce = true.
Then another “Show layer [layer with play again button] when timeline of this slide starts if playonce = false”.
Then the button on the layer is “Play media XX when user clicks this button”.
Hi, Dawn.
Thank you for sharing the .story file!
The issue is the variable (PlayOnce) that is being re-used (and toggled) for every slide. Creating a different variable for each slide should fix it!
I hope this helps!

3. Pause media when timeline starts on this slide [slide with six buttons] if playOnce = true.
4. Before the "Jump to Menu trigger, place this trigger - "Set variable playOnce to True when user clicks Return to Menu button"
Thanks Walt! This worked beautifully!
