Lightbox Revisit Mystery
Aug 16, 2013
For starters, I'll predict this can be answered simply and quickly by someone with more than two brain cells to rub together. Apparently I don't have those two.
I have a simple two-slide job aid. One slide shows an image and some annotations, the other shows a different image and annotations. I have Slide 1 set to show a lightbox with an introduction. The lightbox is in its own scene. I want learners to view Slide 1, then click a button to view Slide 2.
So far, so good.
But when I click the button on Slide 2 to return to Slide 1, I get the lightbox again. Not so good. I've tried slide properties and a couple attempts at using a variable to track the state of the lightbox being viewed--nothing works.
Any ideas?

Create a True/False variable for your lightbox, initially set it to False, I called mine Visited
On your lightbox slide, add a trigger that adjustes the varaible to True when the timeline starts.
On slide one add a condition to the trigger that shows the light box slide only on if the varaible is equal to False.
See? Garth has my two missing brain cells...
Kudos and thanks, Garth. Worked like a charm and simple as can be!
Hi Jim! Glad that Garth was able to help you out with this and thanks for letting us know that the solution worked.
