Thank you Lilybiri for posting additional solutions to my little conundrum. I have actually been to your blog and have found it very helpful with other matters, since I am fairly new to Captivate and developing elearning material. I was not aware you had a post regarding audio objects, but will definitely check it out. Before posting, I did try to add to my conditional action using the "Play audio" and "Stop Audio" commands (found them by pure luck), but it did function as expected. I will try again once I have had an opportunity to go to your link. Maybe if it does not work, I can post a screenshot of my decision block, for your review. Your help is truly appreciated!
Thank you!
