Trigger a Button based on Closing a Lightbox slide

Hi Lori,

I don't see "when the lightbox closes" as an option when I choose "change state of" as the action. Is there a reason you're putting your questions on layers instead of on slides? If you had each question on a separate slide you could just use the default feedback layers, which would make this a bit easier.

If you feel like you absolutely need to have you questions on layers and use lightboxes for feedback, one option would be to add a button to the lightboxed slide that closes the lightbox and goes to the base layer. In that case you should add a continue button to the layer as well in case the learner closes the lightbox by clicking on the X. Otherwise they could get stuck on the layer.

I hope that helps!

You could add the change state trigger to the same object/action that opens your lightbox since the lightbox will appear on top of the layer effectively hiding the button until the user closes the box.

Add a variable - Question1Feedback (Q1FB) (T/F) - start it as false

Add a trigger to your feedback lightbox to change Q1FB to true when timeline starts

Have a trigger on your layer to Change state of "Continue" button to normal when Q1FB changes if Q1FB = True

Good idea, Owen! I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks everyone.  The interaction activity was built around a base layer background where the user was interacting with various objects on the screen which lent itself better to using the layers rather than using separate slides and the client really wanted the look of the lightbox (I know you can use layers to create a lightbox look too but trying to keep things simplified by using the standard lightbox function). Sean's suggestion actually did the trick exactly as needed.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Glad it worked for you Lori!
