Audio and the Click Button

Question

I've noticed when I create a click button that there's an
option for audio.
But when I added audio to the button, the audio began playing
as soon as the slide appeared.
I thought with the audio being in the option for the click
button, it would not begin until the button was pushed.
Is that correct? If so, how can I tell the system not to
begin the audio until I click the button?
If that is incorrect, then can someone explain to me the
value of having audio with a click button if it's not associated
with the action of clicking the button.
Thanks

Hi Pam
All objects in Captivate typically have the ability to
associate an audio clip with them. However, the actual behavior may
be misunderstood. For example, if you associate audio with an
image, the audio begins playing when the image appears. The same
holds true for buttons. The audio begins playing when the button
appears on the slide.
So to answer your question about how to force audio only to
play when the button is clicked upon by the user, you would need to
configure the button to jump to either the next slide or a specific
slide, then have the audio begin playing at the slide beginning.
The end result is that the user would click the button, the new
slide would display. As the audio would then be configured to begin
playing when the slide appeared, the audio would then play.
Hopefully this helps... Rick
