Lightbox automatically reopens when with seekbar

Hi Leslie,

Maybe I have been misunderstood but I'll try to be clearer :

what i want is that the popup shows when the video reaches 2s only and always

In your example, once the popup has been shown, it doesn't show anymore AND, again, if I click at 10s on the seekbar, the popup appears...

Attaching a video of what I'm seeing. Please tell me what I can do to replicate what you are reporting.

Hi Leslie,

I had a look at your file and video.  We want the learners to be able to go back and review as they need.  The problem I see for us is that the lightbox will only open once unless the variables are being reinitialized. When media completes perhaps. But yet that doesn't sound right to me.  We should allow them to review a lightbox content just anytime. Also, it does add quite a lot of trigger programming depending on the number of lightboxes.  At this point, the use of lightbox doesn't seem to be an option.  We may as well work around it and build custom quizzes.  I still don't understand why seekbar and lightbox won't work together.  Sounds like a bug to me.  Would you have any other suggestion?  Should we open a ticket about this issue ?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Leslie,

In the video you posted, if you click on the seekbar somewhere after the cuepoint, the popup shouldn't appear (even if the popup hasn't been triggered yet)

And then, if you do exactly what you did, around 0:20 il your video, the popup should appear when the seekbar reaches the cuepoint.

That is what I need.

In short, I want to be able to use the seekbar but the lightbox should appear only when the timeline reaches the cuepoint and not when i click on the seekbar (unless I clicked exactly on the cuepoint...)

Thank you for your time.

It would be best to integrate this with the actual slide timeline for full control outside of variables and triggers then.

Perhaps others in the community may have some suggestions.

I know this post is a little old, but I found a pretty good workaround for this issue. Instead of triggering when the timeline reaches a certain time, I've added invisible cue boxes (orange lines in this case to illustrate) for a duration of .25 sec at the points I want the lightboxes to appear. The trigger is then to lightbox the slide when the state of the shape is normal. You can then scrub the timeline around at will, though if you get too close to those points, there may be some overlap of lightbox over video.

You can then scrub the timeline around at will, though if you get too close to those points, there may be some overlap of lightbox over video, instead of the expected pause (if that's what you are going for). 

I'm guessing that using the "when timeline reaches x" condition does not work because when you scrub the timeline, it is considered that you are triggering all times previous to that point as well. 

It's never to late to share a good solution Bill :) I appreciate you popping in to share.
