My project had a narrative for each slide, and one slide there will be several hotspots that when hovered over will show more information (from the lightbox slide).
However, I noticed that when previewing, if you hover over the hotspot during the audio, the audio cuts out to go to the lightbox. Is there a way to:
A) allow the audio to keep playing while the hotspot is hovered over?
or B) make the hotspot inactive until the audio completes?
I've been playing around, can't seem to figure it out! Thanks so much!
Yes I think that I was trying to figure that out that way! Thank you very much for the example -- it works.
As a follow-up, do you know if I can easily now allow the audio to play through while the hotspot is hovered over? so when the light box slide pops up, the audio still plays -- is that possible?
Hi, Stephanie: thanks for the question. I don't think that's possible, because you are moving to a new slide (your lightboxed slide). You might consider just having the lightboxed information on a LAYER on the slide, rather than having it reside in another lightboxed slide.
You are welcome, Stephanie. Whenever possible I try to keep related content on the slide. Keeps content all together and give you more control. Good luck with the rest of the project. --Daniel

Hi, Stephanie: Perhaps someone has a better idea, but off the top of my head I might...
I've attached the crudest of examples. Let me know if this doesn't do the trick. --Daniel
Hi Stephanie! Looks like Daniel is taking care of you here, so just let us know how that suggestion works and if you need anything further.

Hi Daniel,
Yes I think I will do that with layers instead, so the audio can play through. Thanks so much for your help!!
