image "shows" when audio plays

You can add two actions to your audio object:

On: Done playing

Action: Show image

and

On: Done playing

Action: Play next audio

Hey thanks for the tip. It works great until someone hits the "play/pause" button and current track pauses, but the 2nd track starts automatically before it is set to.

The "play/pause" button has an action, when mouse click, toggle play/pause and has a target of the first audio file.

The 2nd audio file is set to be triggered when the first one is complete(as you explained above)

Any idea why this would happen, and how to correct it?

I messed around with it, and have 3 pieces: Audio 1, Audio 2 and a Shape. All are marked as Initially Hidden.

On the page itself, I put the action: ON page show, play Audio 1.

On Audio 1, I put the action: On Done Playing, show Shape.

On the Shape, I put the action: On Show, play Audio 2.

Worked like a charm, even when Audio 1 was paused.

Good Luck!

justspiffy, I tried it myself with the same result you described.

I feel like this an issue with how Lectora detects something is done playing, as it either forces a user to watch/listen to something in it entirety in one sitting, or the developer just has to hope the user doesn't click Pause and break the flow of a course.

Granted, having a user sit through an audio or video file in its entirety may not be a big deal, but allowing a user to effectively pause a course if needed seriously hampers the functionality of the On Done Playing trigger...

My Done Playing didn't trigger - I paused it, waited a sec or two, then replayed it. Shape didn't show up until Audio 1 finished - I watched the stream on the player.

I only had these 3 things on the page - nothing else.......don't know if that helps or not.

Sorry, meant ACTIONS, not VARIABLES. Been a long day. :p

so if you pause audio 1 after it starts playing, and BEFORE it actually is done playing, the shape doesn't show and audio 2 doesn't start playing?

When I use your formula, and pause the audio after it has started playing, the "done playing" action triggers...

Mine still cuts in.. What version of Lectora are you using?

Looks like I might have to figure out another way to make this work.
