help creating a task

[galaxyjim]

Looking for some help still new to all tasker has to offer would like to know how to create a task / app that when tapped will display a photo of the grandson and play an audio file that he made with me I know its rather simple but would like any help you can give thanks

First create a "scene" in tasker. Add the image that you want, and play around with the size until it looks right. Click on the image after you've added it, under "on tap" add an action to "destroy scene" and another action "music stop"

Add a Tasker widget to your home screen, add a new task when asked. First action should be "show scene" and add the name of the scene you just created before this (use "dialog" from the drop down list, that seems to be the only one that works for me). Next action, "music play" and add the file of the song you'd like to play.

And that's it. You can add an icon to the shortcut if you like.

I did it with a two-action task:

A1: AutoShortcut [ Configuration:ASTRO File Manager: 2012-07-05 17.49.33.jpg Package:com.joaomgcd.autoshortcut Name:AutoShortcut ]
A2: Music Play [ File:external_sd/DocsExternal/mp3/America - A Horse With No Name.mp3 Start:0 Loop:Off Stream:3 ]

Notes:
1 - this requires autoshortcut plugin, which I think is free. Very good to get if you don't have it.
2 - Astro file manager provides means to create the shortcut. There may be other Apps that can be used. When you launch autoshortcut, it gives you list of installed Apps that can generate shortcuts for it.
3 - As written, the music plays until the mp3 file is done. If you want to be able to turn if off, requires something else. At the moment I'm not sure what.

Scene would be a better way to do it, but requires some familiarity.
In the case of above 2-action task, on my phone it pulls up the picture in Astro's picture viewer. From there, back key gets you to Astro file manger where indiscriminant strokes could do some damage. If you're planning on handing your phone with picture/music to a toddler, might require some more thought.
