I have a project with 11 minutes of video in the base layer. At certain points in the video, it is triggered to pause using off screen shapes, and the user is taken to a lightbox quiz slide when they click on a "?" I have placed over the video on the screen (and in timeline). When they answer correctly, the "correct" quiz feedback button is triggered to close the lightbox. The problem is, my video and timeline won't resume in the base layer. Any solutions?

This would be so easy to do without the lightbox. Is it the same quiz every time?That's what lightboxes are designed for. Otherwise, set the video slide to resume at saved state, and jump to a quiz slide. When you return, it will resume.
I'm a bit confused. What do you mean by "the same quiz every time?". I thought lightboxes are for placing a slide / quiz slide over the base slide. I'm probably using lightboxes incorrectly. How are they meant to be used? Should I not bother using them? I was trying to create this effect (see link below) which I thought was lightboxes;
That's perfect. Neil - I just tested this method on your course and it works perfectly.
Insert > New Slide > Quizzing > Graded > Select the question type.
Build the quiz slide as desire.
On video slide, insert a button/object that you want the user to click to see the quiz:
Give it the trigger: "Jump to > The slide you made > When user clicks > The object"
On the quiz slide, go to the Incorrect & Correct Slide Layers, and edit the existing triggers: "Jump to > The Video Slide > When user clicks > The Continue Button".
I tested and it works perfectly. The video pauses when the user leaves the slide, and plays automatically upon their return.
Ok. Thanks. What are lightbox slides used for then? The link I sent Walt shows a beautiful looking module, with lightbox quiz slides sitting over the video.
You're probably right, lightboxes can be used that way if you want that effect. For me, it's a personal work flow habit. I use a layer or another slide for that. What I like about lightboxes is that I can call one up (like for help) from anyplace, and when I close it I don't need to keep track of where to return. A leftover from programming days, I suppose, but yes you can use them that way.

Hi Neil,
Could you upload your project file somewhere for us to download and have a look at?
?Hi Simon
Where would you like me to upload to? Do you have a dropbox account I could put it in?

Hi Neil,
I have just created a DropBox folder and emailed you the link.

Hi Neil,
After following my above steps, you can call the quiz slide as a lightbox very easily. Simply change the triggers to:
I testing this on your course and it achieves what you're looking for.

Thanks. How do I edit / remove it? I answered it through email. I clicked your link but can't get any joy. I am on my iPhone.

Thanks for assisting, Simon! And if you continue to have troubles removing your signature, Neil, please feel free to let us know.
I'm having the same issue and working with off the screen blocks, too. Timing with the video and timeline pose an issue.
However, I clicked the URL cited above and I never saw a template that I could download.
Hi Norma, I'm happy to lend a hand.
Since this is an older thread, let's start fresh. What version of Storyline are you using?
Can you tell me more about how your slide is set up and how you want it to function?
