    You can stop Slide Audio when the button or click box is clicked via the Audio settings in Properties for that object.

    There is no Advanced Action (yet) to initiate play of another audio file.  But you can place a hidden object such as a Highlight Box on screeen, attach an audio file to that, and use Advanced Actions to SHOW that object.  If you use the Success action of the button to trigger this Advanced Action, then you may find that since Slide Audio is prevented, Object Audio may still be able to play.  I haven't tried this myself but it's certainly worth trying.

    Hi Rod,

    My issue is that I have an animation on the slide (someone developed a widget for me) and there is 6 buttons in the animation and when the user clicks on all 6 of the buttons it fires a success. I have attached the feedback audio clip to the success text caption but I need to make sure the audio on the main timeline is stopped when success fires otherwise both audio clips play.
