Captivate 8: Adding sound to hidden images and having it play when they appear

I have downloaded a template with tabs. I've entered in all the content that I wanted and recorded audio to play when each tab is selected. I've added the audio files to the images that appear when the appropriate tab is selected. Unfortunately, when the slide is played, the main slide audio and ALL the audio from every tab starts simultaneously. Is there a way that I can make it so that the sound will only play when the tab is selected (the image is visible to which the sound is attached)?

Thanks!

Could you address this question to the people who created that 'template', please?

I suspect that those images are not hidden at all, they are in the tabs. The principle with audio attached to objects is that the audio will play when the object appears on the timeline. If you really 'hide' that object by an action, it will not play, if you 'show' it by an action audio will start playing. But in your setup everything is available right from the start, no image is really 'hidden' at all, they are just in the tab that is collapsed.

You are the best! Putting it in the action instead of attaching it to the image solved the problem!
