Audio does not work in Conditional Action

I set up a condition to display a smart shape and a text caption if two criteria are met. I also want it to play an audio. I do this on the slide level. The audio does not play. But the smart shape and the text appear. What else do I need to do?

What do you mean by 'on slide level'? Can you use the Usage button in the Advanced Actions dialog box, to show the event triggering that action?

How are you executing this Conditional Action?

I am using the advanced action on "Slide Enter Action of Slide 19."

The goal is to have the audio play after the learner has clicked the two "Click to Reveal" buttons (Usage: Success Action of each button).

Thanks.

OK. Then I think you may be misunderstanding how that Conditional Action will work. It will only be executed when entering the timeline of that slide.

That means, if the learner is clicking buttons on that slide AFTER that point, the Conditional Action is not being executed again because it will ONLY be executed (in the way you currently have it set up) at the very start of the slide. That would explain why things are not happening as you expect.

I would suggest you execute modified versions of your Conditional Action when the learner clicks each button. Use the initial Decision Block of the Conditional Action to execute whatever actions the button click would normally perform, and then use the next Decision Block to check whether the two variable values have been set that would then necessitate playing the audio.
