Hello, I have a project file. I added sound to the click event of the button. I want this sound to stop when I click the other button. When I click it again later, I want the sound to continue where it left off. I’m using Ap 8 can you help me?

Hi Emrah,

You can try using _ **interactive timelines** _ in ActivePresenter to achieve this.  
An interactive timeline contains specific tasks so you can easily control and manage it as you want.

First of all, add a new timeline, then insert an audio track into this newly inserted timeline.  
Next, set up suitable events-actions to play/pause the timeline when you click the buttons.  
This way, the audio will continue playing where it left off when the button is clicked again.

I have also attached the sample project to help you understand my point better.

Besides, this tutorial will bring you more information about creating and working with interactive timelines in ActivePresenter: [Use Multiple Timelines in ActivePresenter 8 - Atomi Systems, Inc.](https://atomisystems.com/tutorials/ap8/use-multiple-timelines-in-activepresenter-8/)  
Please check it out.

Hope that it helps.  
Have a nice day,  
Thuy
