Interactive video quiz

I know there have been a lot of postings on this but I just can seem to resolve my issue....
Inserted video in slide - set object off screen with trigger to pause media at the end of the objects timeline. also a trigger to go to a "Draw from bank" quiz slide.
Question bank - draw questions randomly is off, 4 questions - one set to always and three set to never.
On feedback slide clicking continue button triggers "hide layer" and "jump back to video slide"
All works up till I click on "continue" and nothing happens.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Bill. I set up a test file following your description and when I press the continue button I am taken back to the video slide. The video starts playing again though so I set the slide properties to "resume saved state". That's when I could re-create the problem you are experiencing. Still playing with this to understand why it's happening.
I think it's triggering an infinite loop. The object pauses the video and takes the user to the question bank. The slide is left in a resume state. When you finish the question and click continue, it goes back to the slide which then says go back to the question because that's where it left off.
Is there a different (or better) way to do this?
You are correct about the loop because I can get the "continue" button to go to a different slide. The question is how to work around this.
I have been working on this for a while now and no luck - anything on your end?
Am working on it tonight. Let's see if I can come up with something that works a bit better. Will let you know in a few hours (am working on some other projects tonight too). : )
I finally got it to work using a button to go to the quiz slide instead of a trigger (have attached the Story file). Not the most elegant but guess it will do. Let me know if you have any better ideas.
Thanks for all your help!

I believe that is the only solution because you are leaving the slide and then coming back to it. It you were just showing a layer and hiding it, you could have it auto trigger then resume playback. Problem is, you can't have question banks in layers nor question questions per se. You could manually create questions and variables but that's a lot of work and maintenance to do.
