Jumping to a new slide from a lightbox
Aug 05, 2013
Hello -
I'm experimenting with an interactive timeline for a course in a lightbox slide. I want the learner to be able to access the timeline at any point during the course to check their progress (the images will slowly turn from B&W to color as they complete each section), and once they have completed a section I want them to be able to jump to certain points of the course for review. I've been able to figure everything out -- except the last part!
My issue is with triggers for jumping from the lightbox slide to another slide within the course. Currently, depending on the order of my triggers, it either closes the lightbox (and doesn't jump back to where I want it) or it jumps to the slide I want, but inside the lightbox. Ideally, I want the lightbox to close and I want the course to jump to the slide I've designated.
I've seen a couple threads along these lines and tried the suggestions but so far haven't been able to get this to work. Any help would be appreciated! I've attached the course as well. I haven't done any of the other triggers on the timeline slide except for the "Intro" image.

Still noticed that this was an issue - almost a year later. Betsy's response was fortunately able to resolve the issue for us. It really makes me wonder why the Down state is causing the issue with the ability for the shape to be clicked on, close the lightbox, and then jump to a regular slide within the project.
Hi Sarah! This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure that I have seen the issue you are speaking of. Would you be able to share a sample file for us to take a look at and understand?
I quickly mocked up a file to demonstrate the issue. When I was putting it together, I noticed to clarify the issue - is only when you are using a shape as a button with the hover and down state. This issue is apparent in both preview and published versions.
Let me know if this file displays the issue for you too.
I almost missed it, but I am seeing it. I understand what you are reporting now and this file demonstrates it well.
I'm glad that you were able to find a workaround, but I will share with the QA Team as this doesn't seem like expected behavior.
Similar to Betsy and Sarah, I cannot get Jump to Slide to work on text boxes on a lightbox slide if states other than Normal are used. Standard text box's work fine but if you had additional states then the Jump to Slide trigger doesn't work.
Thanks for popping in to share as well Bren. I do not have an update to provide at this time, but will share your information with the QA Team as well.
Hi,
I was use your file but my issue not resolve. I have done some changes in jump to next screen. I have done when use back to the screen from light box it will take 1.5 sec pause and then auto jump to the next screen.
Can any one check this and resolve issue. This is working fine in "Flash" version but this was not working fine in HTML 5 output. Please find attach story file.
Thanks.
Hi Vishal
Is this a SL1 or SL2 file - which browser are you using for HTML5 output? Not all are supported...

Hi Wendy,
this course was created in storyline 1.
I am checking this course in Google Chrome.
If you are viewing the HTML5 output in Chrome 65 or earlier (as per the specs) and it's not working I would log a support ticket with Articulate and get them to take a look
I was test that course in Google Chrome this version:
"Version 53.0.2785.101 m (64-bit)".
Also check on latest version:
"Version 66.0.3359.170 (Official Build) (64-bit)"
But did not get result. Please suggest.
Suggest you click the link in my post and log a support ticket
Thanks for reaching out to the support team Vishal :) You should be hearing from someone soon.
