3 click boxes one slide - each to jump to different slide - none working !

Captivate v5.5
I am trying to set up Branching and have create one slide with 3 options. Each option has a click box and set to Jump to slide X, Y Z.
Tried everything but none of them are working. Nothing happens.
Could there be a conflict when there is more than one click box on same slide ?
Noel

Lilybiri,
Think I have resolved it.
I created my 3 click boxes on my branching slide and started preview from the branching slide with F8 - nothing worked.
I went back to one slide before my branching slide, started the F8 from there and when I got to the branching slide all 3 click boxes worked and jumped to their correct slides!
Not sure why starting from previous slide would fix it - but it seems to be working - at least via F8.

Text Click box not working when using back button on playbar

I have an interstesting situation.
I have a slide that has 2 text clickboxes (Slide B)
Each text click box has an advanced action associated that controls what is displayed on the next slide (Slide C) . The click boxes and the advanced actions work just fine except for the following situation:
The learner is on Slide C and uses the 'back button' on the playbar to return to the slide where the two text click boxes are (Slide B), then the click boxes don't seem to work.
However if the learner goes back one additional slide, the slide before slide B (let's call that one slide A) and the continues from Slide A to Slide B, then the click boxes on Slide B work again.
Can't figure out why that is?
has anyone come across this issue before?

Not for native Captivate interactive objects that suffer with this limitation. There are interactive widgets such as the Infosemantics Event Handler that have preference options to Reset Success/Fail Criteria After Action.
You could download a trial version and give that a go:

You can attach this widget to any kind of screen object to make that object interactive.

Click Box - Jump to slide error

Captivate v5.5
I have put a click box on slide 1 to allow users to my "Skip Intro" (slides 1-4) and jump to slide 5.
Whilst the click box does jump to slide 5 - the audio on slide 1 continues instead of the audio on 5.
I have tried using a button (instead of click box) and that works just fine - but problem with using a button is, I want slide 1 to continue to slide 2 etc by itself if the learner does not click "Skip Intro"
Does anyone have any suggestions what might be causing this.
NEL

Brilliant....Works a treat!
What I dont understand is I have used click boxes many times before to jump to slides and have never had this problem before - audio from original slide continues to play after jumping to a new slide - so wonder why this has just started. Any ideas (just for my own education).
At least I now know what to do.
Many thanks.

Click Box not working in Captivate 5

Why do simple things sometimes seem hard?? I have a click box created and set to "jump to slide x" when clicked. This is on a presentation imported from PP 2010 and using Captivate 5. When clicked in preview mode, the slide simply goes to the next screen rather than jumping to the one I want. I notice there is already a click box created automatically on every screen of the imported presentation. When I remove it, the presentation automatically goes to the next screen rather than waiting for the user to click to advance. I want it to advance by the user clicking the forward arrow in the player controls. If I leave it on screen, it seems to override my added click box. Here is what my click box settings are:
Here is what the click box looks like on the screen. You can see that I resized (moved out of the way) the large click box automatically created by Captivate:
This is using XP for a course that will be published in SCORM. As always, many thanks for helping!
Lisa

Ah ha! Yes, I do have a quiz. 17 scored questions scattered throughout the course. Do I need to move the "jump to" slide before the last question then (or somewhere else as long as it's before the last question)?
Thanks!
Lisa

Click boxes revert to continue when file moved

For a long time I have been the only Captivate user in my department as a result, I just left the primary file on my hard drive and just put copies in our network drive as a backup. When I did this, I just opened it to make sure it didn't get corrupted and then closed it without actually playing it.
Then recently my co-worker started using Captivate as well and we started collaborating so I had both of us put copies of our files on the network (keeping our original files on the respective hard drives for safety purposes). I opened her file and tried working with it when I noticed something - all the click boxes she had set to jump to specific slides had reverted to "Continue."
We quickly checked my network copies and the same thing was happening.
Thinking maybe it was the network causing that somehow, my co-worker tried copying the file from her laptop to her desktop with the same results.
Any ideas what is causing it and how to fix it? We are both using Captivate 6 from Tech Communications Suite 4. (We do plan to upgrade to suite 5 shortly.)
Thanks in advance

HI there
The option "continue playing project" needs to be DE-selected. With it selected, when your user clicks the Click Box, play will resume.
There is no way I'm aware of to influence the browser behavior as it's up to the configuration on each user's PC as to whether you see a new window or a new tab.

Change default "on success" behavior for click box?

Hello,
I create a lot of pptx --> Adobe Captivate eLearnings, and as you know, when the slides are imported, they are given a click box, which when clicked, advance the user to the next slide. I want to keep the click boxes to stop the project at the end of each slide, but dont want the user to be able to interact with it. (I have a customized navigation bar) I can achieve this by changing the "on success" behavior to "no action". Question -- do i have to do this for every click box? Unfortunately, I cannot apply this to all click boxes like I can apply the timing settings, for example.
Thanks for any help!!
Ryan

As far as I know....and hopefully someone can correct me (I would be curious for sure)... but I don't think you can change the properties of multiple click boxes across slides all at the same time. Other items like buttons and smart shapes can be visually adjusted using the Object style manager, but as far as On Success options and such...unless you select them all in a given slide, you can't. Clickboxes can't even be added to master slides unfortunately. If the clickbox can be in a common place across slides, I would delete all of the clickboxes except the first, make the necessary changes to that one, then do a ctrl+c for copy, and then just paste it into all of the remaining slides. Again, I hope there's an easier way someone can share.

Click Boxes are not working

I'm currently working on a course that contains a main menu screen that then branches off to several course modules. On the main menu I have placed several click boxes that jump to the slides within the course. Of the 5 click boxes that I have placed on the main menu, 2 are not working although they are set exactly like the other three with the exception of the slide that they are jumping to.
The click box setting are as follows:
Jump to slide (set to the slide that contains desired content)
Appear as of 0 seconds
remain for rest of slide
Infinate attempts
Show hand over hit area
Pause project until user clicks.
I have tried to delete the offending click boxes and rebuild. Copy a click box that functions and simply change the jump to slide number. Rebuild the entire slide (resulting in the same situation of the 3 click boxes that worked continuing to work and the 2 that didn't, not working.) I have built several main menu screens in the sam manner in several courses with out any problems. Please help me to understand what could possibly be the issue.
Thanks,

Hi there
Do you have a quiz in the project? If so, you could have your quiz settings configured so that questions MUST be answered before you may continue.
For example, perhaps you have a 40 slide project. You have some buttons on slide five. Button one jumps to slide six. No problem. Button two jumps to slide 20. No problem. But Button three tries to jump to slide 30. And on slide 28 you are asking a True/False question. Your quiz settings may declare that the question on slide 28 MUST be answered before you may continue. In that case the button would appear to fail and not jump to slide 30 because the question on slide 28 hasn't been answered.

Single click in a double click box

Captivate 3.
I have two click boxes; one set for a single click and the
other for a double click. Both have failure captions. When I single
click in the box set for a double click, nothing happens. It
appears to be ignored. I would like the failure caption for the
double click box to display if the user clicks only once inside the
box. Is this possible?

Hi jimclennon and welcome to our community
I doubt you will be able to accomplish this easily. Failure
captions normally appear when you define a click box area and click
outside the area. As you are clicking
inside a click box area, but only clicking once, Captivate
probably isn't sensing a wrong action is occurring.
This is something you may wish to submit as a feature request
for a future version. To do that,

Re-setting click boxes

I took the suggestions from Captivtr on this site to create my own quizzes using click boxes because I wanted more control with the feedback. However, I this has created a new problem.
I have attached a 3 slide sample for you to look at. On the second slide, you will notice that you can answer the question and depending on where you click, you get a response. Everything works fine there. However, if you click next and then click back and come back to the original screen, you will see that no matter how you answer, the feedback box that is layered on top always appears regardless of whether the user answers the question correctly.
My question is that it appears that captivate is not resetting the interaction when the person goes back to the page. Is there a way to reset the action so that if the user goes back and tries to answer the question again, the responses will fire properly.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric
I've downloaded the project and am looking at it as I type this. I see you have a Click Box on slide 2 that is pausing the slide. It seems to be superimposed over the New Material B caption. So a click on this caption would be considered "Correct". Right?
Here's where it gets tricksy. The captions are invisible until you show them. You have constructed your actions to show the desired caption. But there is no action to "reset" or hide them once you leave the slide.
I'm guessing you are desiring to allow the user to re-visit the slide and have it be a whole new ball game, no? If so, you might consider configuring the slide properties so that the On slide enter event is Multiple actions. Then configure the actions to Hide both of the captions. This would effectively reset the slide.
Cheers... Rick

Why do quiz slides not work in LMS?

Using Captivate 7. Scorm 2004. I added three multiple choice quiz slides to the course, interspersed between content pages, to act as review questions. Each quiz slide has a Submit and a Clear button.
When I reloaded the updated course, now with the quiz slides, to the LMS (Cornerstone -stage environment), the options on the quiz slides are not clickable and the Submit and Clear buttons are missing.
My settings are:
Completion - based on slide views - 100%
Success - based on slide views - 100%
Quiz - "Optional - user can skip"
Pass/Fail - 0% required to pass
If Failing: Allow infinite attempts - checkbox (but I've also tried 1 attempt)
Thanks!

Thanks, Lieve. Actually, I think the reason that the LMS did not correctly display the quiz slides is because it had already marked me as "complete" (I had taken the course multiple times previously.) Plus in all the various versions I re-loaded to our Stage environment, I kept changing quiz settings, etc., and I think the poor LMS was just so confused. So after I made a few more changes to the course (see below) and logged in as a different user, the course and quiz slides displayed correctly.
I made these changes to quiz settings in Captivate:
- I based completion on only "Slides viewed" -- not on "Quiz is passed"
- On the "Pass or Fail" settings, I changed "Go to next slide" to "Continue"
and under "If failing grade," I changed "1 attempt" to "infinite attempts."
I also removed the reportable click box from slide 1.
So I'm not sure which of these changes solved the problem, but the course is working correctly now, thankfully.

Multiple click boxes on one slide; Pausing project

I'm using Captivate 5.5.
I have four click boxes on a slide. Three click boxes upon clicking show an image and then show a success caption. The forth click box shows a success caption but also is set to "pause project until user clicks."
Unfortunately, if any of the three click boxes are clicked it advances the playhead even though the forth click box was never clicked. How can I pause the project until only the forth click box is activated no matter if the other three click boxes have been previously clicked?

Hello,
Default behavior of click boxes is to trigger the simple action that is assigned to it AND at the same time to release the play head. Even if those 3 click boxes had a pause, at the same moment as the fourth, this would have happened. If you put the pausing point of the fourth click box later than the pausing of the first three, it will work fine if the user clicks only one out of 3 click boxes.
If you replace the simple action by a (eventually one-line) advanced standard action, the play head is not released:

Make all click boxes required before proceeding to next slide

I have created a screen with three click boxes and a next button. The learner will need to click all three click boxes before they can click next to move to the next slide. If they do not click all three boxes they will need to get a message saying they need to view all content before proceeding. Does anyone know how to program the next button to require the three click boxes to be clicked before proceeding?
Thanks in advance,
~A

Question has been treated multiple times in this forum. You don't need to program the Next button, but the click boxes. I suppose they do not have to be clicked in sequence? In that case:
create three user variables, one for each click box: v_one, v_two, v_three and give them a default value of 0
hide the next button (in the Properties panel - since I don't know the version, will not go in details)
for each click box create a conditional advanced action with two decisions:
First decision is a mimicked standard action 'Always'
    IF 1 is equal to 1
       Assign v_one with 1    (change variable in the actions for the other two click boxes to v_two, v_three)
Second decision checks the value of the three variables
    IF v_one is equal to 1 AND
        v_two is equal to 1 AND
                        v_three is equal to 1
                    Show Bt_Next
Be sure to have the pausing point of the Next button later than the pausing point of the click boxes. That will mean that you have to shorten the timeline of the click boxes, and check the timing properties of the button

Multiple Click Box Quiz Answers on the Same Slide

Hello. I am using Captivate 5.5
I have a quiz slide with two click boxes that are both correct answers. When a learner clicks either of them, I want them to advance to the next slide and score as "Correct".
The problem is since they only click one of the boxes, they never receive enough points to pass the quiz (since each box has earns credit towards the final score).
Does anyone have a solution or work around for this?
Thanks.

I have already watched the videos, but we still end up 1 answer short. Essentially no correct scores are being reported from that slide that contains the Master Widget.
Here is the exact set up we have:
Two click boxes that are correct answers. Neither are set to report to quiz. If either box is clicked the slide advances (and theoretically a correct score of 1 should be added). If they click anywhere else on the slide it should advance the slide without adding the point to the total score.
The Master Widget is set up the following way.
Slave Objects: Both of our correct click boxes are listed as slaves
Scoring: Under "Slave Scoring" we have both click boxes set to "1" on Success and "0" on Failure
Success/Failure: We have chosen "Success" and "Based on Slave Success/Failure" - "Report Success if any 1 slaves report Success"
Evaluate: We selected "Evaluate each time a slave evaluates"
Misc: We left all of these in their default position.

Several click boxes on screen but only one failure caption appearing

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 6 and I have 3 click boxes on one slide. I have set each click box to have a Failure caption however, only the failure caption of the click box in the top position of the timeline appears in the course.
Ideally I want all 3 captions to appear at once if the user fails to click in any of the correct areas.
Do anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Liam

Hi Liam
One way I can fathom would be to create a blank slide. Insert three text captions that present the text you wish to see and arrange them so they "work" aesthetically. Then preview the project and screen capture. Then configure the background as transparent and save the image. Use this image as the Failure caption for that top level Click Box object.
Cheers... Rick

Displaying a caption when multiple click boxes has been clicked in a slide.

I have 9 click boxes in my slide which when clicked opens a different page except 1 click box.1 click box takes the user to the previous page . I want to display a text caption when the user has clicked other 8 click boxes just to make sure they go through all the pages. Is there a way in captivate to do this? If yes, how do I do it?

Since you are not yet familiar with advanced actions (and variables?), will try to explain in detail and provide some links to articles/blog posts as well.
Create 8 user variables, one for each click box (Project, Variables); I will label them v_one, v_two.....v_eight It is not necessary to give a default value
Create another user variable v_counter that will be incremented whenever a click box has been clicked for the first time
Create a first click box (set to visible), label it CB_One (find that easier) and in the Properties panel, Action accordion, On Success change the action to 'Execute Advanced actions'. Then open the actions dialog box with the Folder icon that appears.
You have to create a conditional action, so select that type, and label it CB_One (is possible, an exception because normally you cannot have same labels); this action will need two decisions (have a look at my video tutorial: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/858/cpsid_85847.html):
First decision 'Visited' checks if the click box has already been clicked, visible when the value of v_one = 1; if this is not the case (first click) v_one gets the value=1 and the counter v_counter is incremented
Second decision 'Check' checks the value of the counter, and shows an initially invisible button (I choose a button, BtNext but you can also have a click box) if the counter reaches 8, bummer the forum doesn't allow me to insert an image, have to type:
IF section v_counter is equal to 8
Actions section Show BtNext
Duplicate the click box 7 times, label them CB_Two, ..... CB_Eight (beware: case sensitivity). To each copy the same advanced action is attached, but you'll have to create duplicate actions for each one CB_Two.... In the duplicates you have to replace the variable v_one by the proper variable (v_two...) in the first decision; the second decision remains the same
Test.
