Alternative to Lightbox for a globally accessible slide

Oh yeah... I had a version built using the Lightbox for each of these slides.

It looked good.

But, the customer didn't like how the lightbox covered up the nav buttons of the main page when it opened.

Just an FYI.

You could load a page without navigation buttons and add a button on a slide that goes to previous.

If you want a popup, you are going to have to build this on every slide

You could also place this in a layer on your master slide and use a variable change to trigger showing the layer. The behavior of layers makes a new layer jump to the top.

Steve has a good solution here

Thanks, guys... awesome ideas.

I will implement the Previous slide button idea now.

I am going to start studying how to use the Master slide idea.

I am not very familiar with using one.

But, I really appreciate the info.

THANKS!

Here's an example of how to make the master slide overlay work.

Knowing Steve he just knocked that up in 5 minutes, the most prolific beta tester I have ever known

Amazing! I will download and check it out.

You guys are awesome!

Thanks,

Wow, cool sample, Steve.

Question: I've added a button to the Master of my project, but I don't see anything on the slides of the project.

What could keep the button from being visible on the project slides? They are associated to the right Master slide.

In an attempt to see if I was just doing it wrong, I created a small sample using just the background image from my project and a couple of buttons on the Master.

The sample works fine. Looks killer.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Not sure if this will help, but try going to the layout drop down to see if you can find the layout you are looking for.

Is the button at the base of the Master slide or is it in a layer? I've made that booboo before, placed a button or graphic in a layer and never triggered to show that layer in the master. 

Hey there,

Thanks for the replies. Maybe something is corrupted in this project.

For some reason, I can't see any objects I place on the Master when I return to the project slides.

That said, the second little sample project I created -- to make sure I was actually performing the steps correctly -- is working fine.

Thanks,

Eric
