Added help button to quiz slide

I am trying to add a help button to a quiz slide. I would
like ti to pull up a slidelet or go to another slide with a image.
All my buttons and click boxes are disabled on question slides.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mark
I believe you could accomplish this as follows:
Create a blank Captivate project that is the same size as
your existing project. Create the slidelet as part of this project.
Define the rollover area and whatever else you need. Be sure to
pause the project so the slidelet will work without the playhead
just moving on.
Publish this as a .SWF. You may DE-Select the HTML check box
so all you end up with is the .SWF.
Open the project with the Question slide. Edit the Question
slide and click Insert > Animation. Browse to and select the
.SWF you just created. This should allow you to insert a Slidelet
on a Question slide.

Add buttons to quiz-slide? Captivate 7

Hi there,
I am really having a hard time trying to add buttons to a quiz-slide (fill in the blank).
Is it really true, that there is no work-around? All I need to do, is to use the smart shapes/ image buttons, to link to other slides in the project.
Anyone??
Thanks, in advance
//Niklas

Maybe this blog post could help, because it is not always that easy to have
shape buttons on question/score slides. I encountered several small issues
and tried to figure out workarounds:

How to add click box/button to QUIZ slides??

We have a basic quiz for our online course. At the top of the
quiz we have a navigation bar with next, back, main menu, help, etc
which we use a click box to make link.
However, when we're on a quiz slide the click box and button
option are grayed out. You can't access them at all. How can we fix
this?? We HAVE to have the top navigation be functional as it is
for the rest of the slides. Help!

I'm having the same general problem you are.
I got this response a few days ago:

Its a little different question but I think the answer can be
applied to both: Its not in the program to allow users to fully
customize question slides. Unfortunate, but a reality I guess.

Button is Quiz Slides

I am creating uniform quizzes to match our template. We
changed the button style we are using in our quizzes to match our
template. When we change the button and use the apply all, on the
other slides the button changes however it creates a box around the
button. What is causing this and how do we get rid of it without
manually changing every slide?
Thanks

Did you delete objects on the quiz slide, like title, question caption...? And when you answer wrongly, you see the Failure caption, but not the Correct caption when you answer correctly?

Adding "home" button to every slide

I have a 50+ slide Captivate document and I'd like to add a
"home" button on every slide without having to paste it into every
one. Any way to do this? Is there a master slide or something I can
add it to and have it appear on all?
Thanks!

Hi wfz and welcome to our community!
Unfortunately you don't have a lot of choice in placement of
these beasties. So you either use what you have or develop a
workaround. I'm thinking you will perhaps need to insert a button
object on each slide that is labeled "Home" and points to the
appropriate slide.
You should also consider submitting a WishForm asking the
developers to provide us more flexibility in placing the existing
menu. You may do this by
clicking
here and completing the forum you should find there.

Quiz slides backward movement, the Nav bar dissapears

Hi,
When I enable the back button in quiz slides for CP 6 the nav bar disappears on the previous content slides. It randomly shows up once you click slides from the menu. Is there a way to have backward movement and see the nav bar on previous screens?
I have tried adding the nav bar back to the quiz slides thinking that the user would not be able to move forward until they click the correct answer but that isn't working either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi GillianKeisker,
Thank you for contatcting adobe support.
Can you please send us the screen shot for the same because its working fine at our end.

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.

Positioning quiz slide objects

I am working on a Captivate 5 project with many quiz slides. The quiz slides were put into the project by someone else. I need to move the various quiz slide objects (submit button, back button, clear button, question text, review area, hint caption, and so forth).
These objects need to be moved to the same position in all of the quiz slides. I've been moving these objects into place one by one and it is very tedious.
Is there a way to set up a style to move all of these objects on all quiz slides at once?

Each of the objects you mention on the quiz slide are a special type of object in Captivate.
So although Object Styles do not allow you to specify the X and Y coordinates of an object, you CAN just move one of these objects on one slide to the location you want them all to be, and then go to the Position and Size accordion in the Properties tab (Transform accordion in Cp5.5), look for the small dropdown in the top right corner of the accordion, and choose the option to Apply to all items.
The name is a bit misleading because it make you think this will actually apply the positioning setting to every item in the project. But the fact is that it will only apply it to items OF THE SAME OBJECT TYPE. So although you would never do this for something like text captions in the main part of your project, you can safely do it for things like Submit, Clear, Back, and Next buttons in quiz slides because each of them are actually totally different object types as far as Captivate is concerned.
Note also the option to Apply to all items of same style. This means you can create custom styles and apply them to just certain buttons or captions if you only wanted SOME items to be positioned in a certain way, while all other items should retain their original positions.

Question on Quiz Slides

Does anyone know how to make the NEXT button on quiz slides appear after you hit the correct answer instead of displaying on the slide the entire time?

Which version?
During the quiz, the Next button is not necessary at all, it is only meant to be used when the learner wants to skip the question, and it is necessary during review. I will mostly hide the Next button all the time when the Question slides are in Quiz mode, by dragging it under the Clear button. Advancing to the next slide in Quiz time is happening after the second step for submitting (if attempts are exhausted). Check this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
If you put the attempts to infinite on question level, the user will never be able to go to the next slide until he has submitted the correct answer. Is that what you want?

Continue Button on Quiz Results Slide NOT Working Properly

I'm experiencing a functionality issue with the "Continue"
button on the Quiz Results slide:
Situation 1: After initially completing the quiz, I need to
click the "Continue" button on the Quiz Results slide only once to
advance to the next (and last) slide in the quiz movie. This is
fine & works as I would expect.
Situation 2: After initially completing the quiz, if instead
I choose to review the quiz, later when I get to the Quiz Results
slide, I need to click the "Continue" button TWICE to advance to
the next (and last) slide in the quiz movie. This does NOT work as
I would expect.
Any idea why only 1 click is needed in the Situation 1 while
2 clicks are needed in Situation 2? Any way to fix Situation 2 so
that only 1 click is needed?
Thanks much!

CapManZ,
Whether the Continue button on the Quiz Results slide
requires one or two clicks is mysterious indeed. See
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=464&threadid =1302278
for another discussion about its misbehavor.
Actually, the number of clicks required depends on how long
you wait after the Quiz Results slide appears, prior to clicking
the Continue button. In your situation 1 you probably answered
questions rather than using the skip button, so you viewed the
question slides for a while prior to arriving at results. In your
situation 2 you probably used the Skip button to zip through the
slides to return to the results screen. Try this. In situation 2,
when you get to the Quiz Results slide, instead of clicking the
Continue button, go get a cuppa joe and then see if a single click
will work. If so please let me know.
I've experimented with a Captivate 2 multiple choice quiz in
a slide show that contained only 10 questions and the Results
slide. I added a text caption with fade in and fade out enabled
(the default) to the Results slide. I found that after the caption
fades in, one click on the continue button advances the slide. So I
used the caption's appearance to help measure the timing.
In the tests below I skipped as rapidly as possible, pausing
at various slides to see how it affected the single click
threshold.
Skip all slides: 28 sec
View slide 1 for 60 sec and then skip: 28 sec
Skip to slide 5, pause 30 sec, and then skip: 13 sec
Skip to slide 10, pause 30 sec, and then skip: 2-3 sec
Answer each slide (took more than 30 sec): 2-3 sec
Skip all slides, click Continue as fast as possible: 2-3 sec
I also reduced the number of question slides in the quiz and
skipped all slides.
7 questions: 18 sec
3 questions: 7 sec
I believe the threshold value (the duration required before
clicking the Continue button advances to the next slide) is
composed of two durations which add together to determine the
threshold. The Result's slide's timeline probably sets the
threshold's lower limit. Clicks prior to 3 seconds are ignored.
Time per slide and number of slides left to go sets the upper limit
for the threshold. The slower the movement, the lower the
threshold.
Several conclusions:
This probably isn't a situation in which the first click is
ignored. Instead the first click reduces the threshold's value to
the lower limit. The second click would then typically occur after
3 additional seconds, particularly if the user is surprised that
the first click didn't work and pauses slightly. A very fast
additional click on the Continue button is ignored as well.
Long quizzes will cause more complaints about the issue
because of what you experienced. It typically takes longer to
answer the quiz than review it.
Perhaps there's a workaround that would alert the user that
the Continue button is ready for clicking. I'm thinking that since
the text caption fade-in coincides with being ready to continue, an
image or the like might do the trick. Any suggestions out there?
Humm, a better alternative might be to show some images of
snacks on the results slide background. Through suggestive selling,
the user realizes it's time for a break and clicks Continue after
returning with that cuppa joe. And the sound you hear? It's the
Captivate developers giggling if they read my conclusions. Too bad
they're mum, since some real info might make it easier to make
Captivate behave. Ah well.

The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad

Hi,
Has anyone run into this problem for Captivate 8? The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad. The Next button shows in IE/Flash mode.
Thanks in advance for providing your help!
Zhuoran.

Thank you Rod.... I changed the option to "Required - User must take the quiz to continue." Now the next is working .
Thank you for pointing the right direction. But one quick question.. will the above setting affect my assessment? I have set the pass percentage to 100%...
My next question - I have a open course menu (TOC). If the learner clicks the Knowledge check page, the knowledge check page is visible, but if you click any other page from knowledge check, it is not going...... by default, it takes to the next page. From that page, you can click any other page... IS this also related to the above option .. pls let me know..

Help - Multiple Buttons on One Slide

I have a slide with three navigational buttons on it: Menu, Back, Next. I have the pause option checked on the Menu button and I have it set to pause at the end of the slide. These work fine. Menu jumps to one slide. Back goes to the previous slide. Next goes to the next slide. Not sure if you need this information but wanted to add it anyway.
Then I have two additional buttons, "Right Answer" and "Wrong Answer". I did no want to use the Quiz Maker to create some "knowledge checks" so I am creating "interactivity" using buttons and click boxes. (I am using Quiz Maker for the Final Exam portion of the lesson and did not want the "Review Quiz" piece at then to include the Knowledge Checks.) When the user clicks the Right Answer button, I want a caption that I have built to show. If the user clicks the Wrong Answer, I want the user to show another caption and another button (that when clicked, will take the user to the slide containing that information so they can review). The two captions I mentioned here are hidden until the user clicks.
This is not working as I envisioned it. For some reason, only when clicking the Right Answer button does the action do as expected. When clicking the Wrong Answer, it does not. Can someone please help me figure out what I have wrong here?

Hi there
Likely what you are encountering is something we all have to deal with. The fact that once a Button has been clicked, the pause is released and the playhead continues merrily along until something else pauses it. Perhaps another Button with the pause point staged slightly farther ahead in time.
Imagine your Captivate movie to be very much like a stream. Imagine you start where the stream begins and you insert a little boat. It floats along until something stops it. Perhaps a stick lying across the stream. That stick is like the pause point on the Button. So let's say you click the Button by pressing it down. Imagine you have pressed the little boat down just as you pressed the button. It slides under the stick and continues until it is stopped again.
What you need is a way to keep the boat paused at the stick. So you need to perform an action. Not only do you press down on the boat, but you reposition it further upstream again so it can float back to the stick where it waits again to be dealt with.
So to accomplish this in Captivate, normally you create an Advanced Action that carries out the act of showing the Caption you want to show, then it repositions the playhead backwards a bit. You can also accomplish this by assigning one of the actions on the button click to be to Jump to the previous slide. And perhaps you time that previous slide as short as can be. Maybe .1 seconds or so.
If you wish to tackle the Advanced Actions avenue, see if the video recording linked below helps.

Submit button disappears when returning to the quiz slide

Hi everyone,
We just upgraded from Captivate 4.0 to 5.5. I'm learning 5.5 differences from 4.0 and have one that I can't figure out.
On the quiz slides, if the learner moves back and forward within the quiz slides, the quiz buttons are fine. However, if they click Back on the 1st quiz slide, then go forward to the quiz slide the submit button flashes briefly then disappears for that slide and all the other quiz slides. I can't find a setting to fix this.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like a quiz scope issue. If you click back on the first quiz slide that would take you to the slide BEFORE the first quiz slide which is technically outside the quiz scope. This usually results in Captivate locking the quiz.
I haven't personally seen this button disappearing act but you can test whether quiz scope is the likely culprit by adding a scored click box to the first slide of the project, which will then extend the quiz scope out to that slide. If this prevents your quiz slide buttons from disappearing, we know where the issue comes from. That may mean you have still found a bug that needs to be fixed though.

Can you make buttons appear "on success" on quiz slide?

I'm not an expert Captivate user and don't know Javascript, so please excuse my ignorance if this question seems strange.
I have a Captivate 6 project with several quiz slides peppered throughout the entire file. In other words, the quiz slides are not grouped together. Each slide, including the quiz slides, has a forward button and a back button.
I would like for users to move forward and backward through the presentation in a linear fashion as they like, and this is working well. However, it would be nice if users weren't able to skip answering the quiz questions. I would like the buttons to appear after the user has answered the quiz question correctly, and then I would like the buttons to stay on the slide thereafter.
Is this possible? Do you have a Javascript resource I could use for the "on success" action, or what other solutions do you recommend?
Thank you!

Hello,
When you are talking about the default buttons Back and Next that you find on question slides, you don't have much control over them. As you probably did see they do not even appear as separate objects on the timeline. And I doubt that Javascript could realize what you want.
Try first to understand how the work flow of question slides is designed:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
You can drag the Next button under the Clear button (see blog post), normally Next during a Quiz is not needed, since the second step (Press Y or click on the slide) will move to the next slide.
However the Back button is a more tricky button if you really want to have it. Maybe, didn't check it out, try to hide the back button to the user (make it transparent without a stroke) and have an image appear on top of that button after the first step on the question slide. The invisible Back under the image will remain active, it even has absolute priority over other objects.

Quiz slide next button...two clicks?

Okay. Having a weird issue I'm not sure if it's universal or fixable or what. Have you guys experienced this?
On my quiz slides, there's a little bit of a hitch between selecting the correct answer and progressing to the next slide. You get the success caption "good job, hit next to continue." The hitch is that it actually takes two clicks to progress to the next quiz slide. The first click clears the success caption, the second click actually progresses the slide. Is there a reason I'm having to click twice? Is this a universal oddity? Can I fix it so that the success caption clears and the slide progresses with just one click?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Here are screenshots of the timeline and quiz properties panel. I have the pause moved over and the On Success set to go to next slide... I'm still getting the double click hitch. Note: The grouped smartshapes are actually custom navigation buttons. I'm not using the next button generated by captivate. Could that be the issue? I didn't think it was the cause because we had the same problem with the automatically generated buttons as well.
