Trouble Keeping Video from Playing on Hover After Lightbox Slide is Closed

Feb 17, 2021

Hi Everyone,

I'm struggling, so any help would be great.

I have a slide that uses a set of lightbox slides when objects are clicked. One the first slide, if a user hovers over a text box, I have a video (that I'm really just using for the audio) play. If the user clicks the object, the lightbox slide comes up. Once it's closed, the user is returned to the first slide. 

The issue I'm having is two-fold.

  1. The video wants to play automatically rather than on trigger when the user is sent back to the first slide. I have the base layer set to resume to saved, but that doesn't seem to be working.
  2. I don't want the audio to play at all if the user has already visited that lightbox slide. I have a trigger set to change the state of the object to visited once the user clicks it. And, then I have a condition statement on the play media on object trigger to only play if the state is Normal. The visited state trigger seems to be working because the font color changes as it's supposed to on visited.

They just don't seem to be working. Can anyone help? I can share the file if that helps.

Thank you!
