Comparison of different types:
Screen Media Guide
A Guide is always present - the

learner can not dismiss it (it doesn't have an "ok" button). Guides must be anchored to something in the
...
Scene (a

Scene Anchor or a
...
Scene Object.) Once the
...
Media item appears, it will automatically play for the duration of the

Media. After it is done playing it will remain in the Scene and the learner can play it again unless the “close when complete” option is chosen.
To stop the Guide, use a Deactivate Resource or an End Script Resource.

Scene (a

Scene Anchor or a

The Inspector is persistent and when the learner views the message and clicks “OK” the Inspector remains on the object and can be clicked on again.
