I'm trying to change the state of an object on a slide when a lightbox on the same slide is closed by the learner.
There is a trigger that seems to offer this ('when timeline ends'), but when I select this the lightbox slide isn't in the objects list - only the current slide.
Any cunning ways around this - or a better way of doing it?
One way to do this is to open the lightbox via a slidelayer with a very short timeline. When the lightbox is closed and the layer timeline ends, you can change the object state and hide the layer. Hope that makes sense.
You mean have the base layer of the slide having a very short timeline? I like the idea, it wouldn't work in this case as I have four elements on the slide that I want to the same thing with.
The learner clicks a button, a lightbox slide plays to recap a learning principle, then a picture on the base layer is set to visible. The learner will repeat this for the four key learning points.
Thanks for your idea though, I will make use of that elsewhere.

See attached a quick example of what I was trying to explain.
Ah, got you - that's perfect, thanks again.
