Help with animations after opening lightbox

Hi guys Looking for some help on the slide I have sent you.  I have clickable shapes which opens up additional onscreen info.  This info fades in and out automatically with a voiceover on each layer...

    Roz,

    Here's a solution that might work for you.

    You already have exit animation on the Key Points layer that works.

    1. Apply the same exit animation to the ATP layer.
    2. Create a cue point on the timeline by right-clicking the timeline BEFORE the exit animation.
    3. Create a trigger to Pause the timeline on the ATP layer when the timeline reaches the cue point you created in step #2.
    4. Create a text box on top of the ATP window and type the letter X.
    5. Create a trigger that resumes the timeline on the layer when the user clicks the X.
    6. Add an exit animation for the letter X.

    This should allow your window to appear with a fade as usual, pause in case your user wants to click on the video button, and then resume with a fade out when the user is ready by allowing them to click the exit button "X" on the top right. (See file attached.)
