Hi, Mary: Interesting question. By default, SL puts the question on the base layer. If you didn't care scoring the question, you could of course put in on a layer. But if you want SL to compute the scoring for you, I think this would be tricky to do. For example, I tried to copy a multiple choice question I created and paste it on a new layer, but SL told me "multiple choice questions cannot be copied." That's not to say a SL guru couldn't create a way for this too happen.
May I ask why you want to put the question on a layer? Might help us come up with alternatives. --Daniel
On this slide the learner clicks on four hotspots - a layer for each one. When each layer completes I need another layer to appear with a follow-up question on what they just heard.
By default questions can't be on layers, but as Daniel mentioned you could set up your own custom questions using buttons (or hotspots). Based on what you've shared though, I think a new slide would work best.
Hi, Mary: Attached is the roughest of mockups on using hotspots to open a layer. And then once one a layer, using hotspot (or another trigger) to jump to another layer.
Sort of like a monkey jumping from tree branch to tree branch.

Thanks Daniel.
I don't need scoring for these questions.

Clear as mud?! Happy Friday!
I think it will work to build a slide that looks just like my other slide - but with the question popped up in the middle.
