To add a sound effect to a button click in Storyline, use a Play media trigger. Here’s how:
- Click the Create a new trigger icon (looks like a blank piece of paper) in the Triggers panel.
- Assign the following properties to the trigger:
- Action: Play media
- Media: Select Sound from file, and then browse to the audio file you want to use.
- When: User clicks
- Object: Select the name of your button.
- Click OK.
If you want your button to perform another action in addition to playing a sound effect, such as displaying a lightbox, perform the steps above to add the sound effect, then create a second trigger to perform a different action when the media completes. Here’s how:
- Click the Create a new trigger icon (looks like a blank piece of paper) in the Triggers panel.
- Assign the following properties to the trigger:
- Action: Select the action you want to perform, such as Jump to slide or Show layer.
- Depending on the action you chose, define the action, such as the destination slide number or the name of the layer that you want to show.
- When: Media completes.
- Object: Select the name of audio file you imported for the sound effect.
- Click OK.
Tip: If you want to add the same sound effect to more than one button on the same slide, you'll need to import the same sound file for each button.
