Listen to a sound only once
(4)

Hi!

I am looking for a way to come back to a slide with sound without having to listen to this sound a 2nd time.

Another option would be to come back to a previous slide at the middle of the timeline.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks to all

Marie

You can find a ready to use shared action for this use case here:

That is the explanation of the setup. Will post the link to the article with the shared action in a separate comment. It can also be used to force the first view of a slide.

I would use conditional advanced actions in addition to a custom variable to determine whether or not a sound should be played.

  1. Create a custom variable called play_sound and set the default value to 0.
  2. On slide enter, or on button activation, create a conditional advanced action.
  3. Have it check if the variable is equal to 0, then if it is, set it to 1 and play the sound.
  4. The second condition would check if the variable is set to 1 and if it is, skip the sound and perform any other actions. (Continue).

This is a rough outline of how i’d handle it.
