I can call a lightbox from within a lightbox (Lightbox01 calls lightbox02) as long as lightbox02 contains a single screen. Upon closing, the learner is returned to lightbox01. But when lightbox02 has multiple screens, upon closing, it returns to the original screen, not lightbox01.
If it works for a single-screen lightbox, it seems it ought to work to call a multi-screen lightbox. Ideas please?
I f you lightbox a slide and then jump to or lightbox a slide it will load that slide in the same lightbox, if you then have navigation buttons you can jump to other slides and it will stay light boxed, but closing the lightbox at anytime will close the whole lightbox.
You cannot have a lightbox within a lightbox unless you built this using layers
How are you closing your light box? Are you using the red cross or a button? Are you suing the close lightbox trigger?
Thanks, Phil.....your response answers my question pretty much. It is ONE lightbox and when I call another slide from that lightbox, I'm simply replacing the content, not opening a second lightbox. That makes sense.....except when I tried it, I got it to work the way I wanted??
Picture a floorplan of a hospital. The learner can click any area, say a waiting room, and I open lightbox01 with a description of that particular space. One the screen describing the waiting room, I want a link to a reference screen, lightbox02 where the learner sees a list of all types of rooms in the hospital. When the learner closes lightbox02, they are returned to lightbox01. When they close lightbox01, they are returned to the floorplan.
That works as long lightbox02 contains one screen. BUT as soon as I add a second screen to lightbox02, when they close it, they are returned to the drawing.
And, yes, I am using the built-in X in the corner to close the screen.
I have figured a workaround I think, but am still a bit curious as to why it worked for me at all?? Not a big issue, but if you have a simple explanation, I'd be curious!

I cannot see what you are trying to do.

May help if you could post an example
