Saving variable values before exiting a page
Resume saved state should work on layers as well. I hit this problem a few years back and tried what I could. Jumping slides is the only thing I could find worked. I am wondering now if showing a light box slide and closing it would do the same thing (never tried that) as it is possible with JavaScript to make the slide transparent so the user would never know.
If not you have the solution that definitely works, the other option which I have used is that the slide they jump to is a duplicate of the slide you have so they complete one bit and then jump to a replica and complete the next bit and yo yo back and forwards. Would need some triggers to changes states on timeline start but may work for you.

Thanks again Phil. Yes, I've got the "bounce back" technique working
pretty well. When I close a slide layer, instead of using the close layer
trigger, I jump to that alternate page. The alternate page immediately
triggers and returns me to my interactive page.
Your idea about the light box is accurate. Thanks another one of the
workarounds I've been pursuing today. SL does consider a lightbox a page
turn, so that's an option as well.
I couldn't help but laugh at the yo yo idea, but heck, if it works!!
