Button state to trigger an action

[jay fresno]

I'm trying to create a button that when clicked will perform multiple actions: play a short audio and jump to a slide. Is it possible to do this by assigning an action to the button Down State?

You never trigger an action by a state, always by the success event of the

button.

Do you have a solution so that when a button is clicked an audio file is played fully before jumping to the next slide? I have an advanced action set to do both, but the audio file doesnt play. It jumps right to the next slide.

Not linked with the original question. You should need an advanced action like this:

   Play Audio ....

   Delay Next action by  .... seconds               where you indicate the length of the audio clip in seconds

   Go to Next Slide

Alternative: starting at the pausing point of the button,  put a shape with Alpha=0 and stroke width=0. Attach an audio clip to that shape and let the timeline extend for the duration of the audio clip. Trigger the action 'Continue' with the button.

Adding the "delay next action by. . ." row did the trick! Thanks so much! 🙂
