Lightbox slide as a menu
May 07, 2013

Hello,
Need some help. In a course we have a created a menu as a lightbox slide. For each learning unit we have 2 buttons: to Review an to Retry.
Among other things both buttons should close the lightbox and jump to a specific slide. The issue is that although that slide is set to "resume on initial state" it dosen't start :(. Just shows the slide layout....
Can you please help?
Thanks in advance,
Ana

Hi Ana,
Can you post the Storyline file here so we can take a look? Or perhaps provide a little more information?
You said that the slide is set to resume - which slide are you talking about? The lightbox?
Best,
Rich
Hi Richard,
The slide set to resume is the "destination slide". the lightbox slide closes and the course jumps to the selected learning unit. But
To overcome this situation I moved my animation to a slide layer instead of the base layer. But this works only the first time :(
I did a small version of the course. I had to take out the videos (we shot videos to exemplify behaviors).
Please help. What I did wrong?
Thanks,
Ana
Hi Ana,
Unfortunately I found it hard to see what the problem was in your course as my foreign language skills aren't what they used to be!
However, if I had to guess...perhaps the problem is to do with your animation being on a layer instead of the base layer. If your animation HAS to be on a layer instead of the base slide, you may need to find a way of triggering that layer when the user has resumed the slide from the menu.
I'm sorry though, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to help without understanding how the course works.
Your course looks great though! I hope you can resolve the issue!
Best wishes, Rich
Thanks Richard,
My animations started on the base layer. What happen was that when using the lightbox menu to return, the slide only showed the master slide. It didn't played.
Transferring the animation to a layer I was able to get it to play, but only once. the next time it dosen't work again :(
I'm very frustrated with this. Can anyone help (although don't understanding Portuguese )?
The dimanic is (I only let the 2 first learning units):
Hope someone can help :(...

Hi Ana,
Have you tried setting your layer (little cog wheel) to reset to initial state when revisiting. It might solve you problem of only running once
Cheers

Hi Geert,
Yes, each slide is set to reset to initial state.
Thanks

Ana,
I've opened your SL-file. What I see in the menu scene is that the your lightbox slides are not triggered. Most of them are un-assigned. Is this correct ?

Hi Geert, Sorry for the delay,
Developing 4 other projects simultaneous....
They are un-assigned 'cause I had to delete those slides. Otherwise it was too long to upload.
