Onset delay for playing audio on a slide

[David McFarlane]

John,

This sort of question keeps popping up.  People get the mistaken 
impression that each sub-object on a Slide should have its own timing 
properties.  But a Slide, by design, always presents all of its 
sub-objects simultaneously.

To present stimuli with various delay offsets, simply present the 
first stimulus with a Duration equal to the desired delay, and then 
present the next stimulus.  In your case, present the Slide with your 
video, but no audio.  Set the Duration of the Slide to your desired 
delay.  Then simply follow the Slide with an ordinary SoundOut object 
for your audio.

Hope that helps.
