Stop to replay audio when I come back on the slide

Hi Thomas,

I suppose you do not want to mute all audio when reentering, because it would also be muted for all subsequent slides.

The way to go is to attach the audio to an object. That can be a rectangle with no stroke and no fill (thus invisible to the user). I would create a small advanced action to be triggered on entering the slide to hide the audio after the first time. Since you have to attach this action to an On Enter event, you'll need a user variable, that you can increment on entering the slide. Perhaps a bit complicated because you'll need a conditional action.

Another way would be to use the buttons not only for navigation, but also for hiding the object (which will keep it hidden and so audio will not play again). I suppose you have for the moment a simple action of navigation. If you replace that by a standard advanced action with three statements (for every button) it will be solved as well:

• hide Object (where Object is the label of the object to which you attached the audio)
• Jump to Slide X
• Continue (perhaps unnecessary, but will make sure the playhead doesn't stop)
