Adobe Captivate 4 Quiz Issues

My Clear button will not clear the answer if the wrong answer is selected. Once a user selects an answer, it can't be changed. How do I fix this?
The Continue button on the Quiz Results slide does not continue. How do I fix this?

Hello,
Formatting Question slides in CP is sometimes a pain. I cannot give you a proper answer, but it would be great if you filed a feature request to the team to have more control over the styles used in this dropdown list (link is in the main page of this forum). If we are many to ask for such enhancements, it will get higher on the priority list.
As you probably discovered, in the Properties of the dropdown lists in the Matching Question slide you can only change font and color, not font size. My proper workaround is choosing a font that gives the best result, some fonts really look bigger than others. This is not always consistent with the styles in the rest of the movie, but I adapt all the Text in Question slides to this choosen font.
Sorry not to be able to help you. Question slides are in the folder, but in SWC-format, and I cannot open those files, even though I have Flash CS4 installed. Perhaps a Flash-wise guy will pop in to help you.

Adobe Captivate 5- Color Issues (excel 2007)

Please help me!
I am using Adobe Captivate 5 and am recording 2007 excel. When I have completed the movements, the images and background appear to be fine.
As soon as I preview or publish the colours of the cells and objects (e.g. highlight box) get mixed up:
Either the colors start moving into different areas, or dissapear or randomly move as the screen moves (This image was taken when the screen wasn't moving). Is this a software bug? Anyone had the same issue? Any way to resolve this?
I appreciate the help!

Hello,
Could you check the video quality of the slides? You find this in the Properties panel of the slide, region General. Perhaps it is set to 'Low, 8-bit. Try to change to one of the other settings. On the Captivate blog you'll find a great explanation about this Video Quality. Have a look at:

Adobe Captivate 4 Typing Issue

Hi,
I am facing an issue related to typing in Captive 4 Training and Assessment files. After publishing the files, if I try to enter something in text entry fields, the files hang if I press the keys softly. Until and unless, I type the words tightly, Captivate does not accept the typed words. Because of this, the files hang at numerous places. I have tried to alter the typing settings, e, nothing works. If anyone has faced this problem or knows the solution to it, please let me know.
Regards,
Rohan

Hi there
Are you referring to the intensity with which you strike the keys? That would seem really odd. Keyboards are just mechanical devices that generate codes when pressed. Unless you have some odd keyboard that is pressure sensitive.
Have you tried typing into perhaps Windows Notepad and do you note the same behavior there?
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Captivate 5 - Recording Issues

I have recently put together a 15 question quiz using Captivate 5 and am having issues with what it records at the back end. I have checked the forum and can find an answer to my question however this was posted back in 2010 and I didn;t even have Captivate installed at that point so don't think this is the issue. I have checked my quiz preferences a number of times to ensure that I have them set correctly and I can;t see anything wrong with them at all however, the course still reports a score out of 150 points, so for example, on my forst attempt I answered 8 out of 15 questions correct and the final page of the quiz told me I had scored 53% yet a score of 80 points was sent back to the learning system. Can anyone please help?

Hello and welcome,
I have no longer 5 on my machine (only 5.5, 6.1 and 7.0.1) but did you check the Advanced Interaction panel (F9)? It will show you all scored objects and the maximum possible score. Maybe you have scored objects as well as question slides.
Some LMS's don't accept scores above 100. Can you either ty to lower the score per question (10 to 5) and/or send percentage instead of total score? 80/150 is 53%, so the score sent is consistent with the values of the quizzing system variables you are seeing on the score slide. Maybe just confusion between % and points?

Adobe Presenter 8 Quiz issues

We're having issues with the way quizzes are acting in SCORM packages created with Presenter 8. Users are having the quiz freeze and unable to answer, some questions are already marked wrong when they start the quiz, and some questions (particularly matching questions) display incorrectly. We are using Moodlerooms Joule as our LMS. Any ideas?

I was having similar problem. So many that I gave up on the quizzes altogether.

Adobe Captivate 5 - Quiz stopping after leaving question slide to go backwards

I'm trying to force Captivate to do something I think it wasn't designed to do - Force the user to get 100% on a quiz. I've set the attempts to 'infinite' and customized the retry messages with little bits of information for the user. Currently, they can try the question as many times as they want until they get it correct but they cannot leave the slide even though there is a 'back' button available! I need them to be able to leave the question slide after attempting to answer the question, sort back through the information slides to learn the information, and return to the question slide to answer it correctly. The quiz stops entirely if you go backwards, then attempt to get back to the question slides.
Forcing them to retake the entire quiz is not an option as this will likely frustrate the user, especially as one of our presentations includes 100 questions. Even setting the failure levels to 3 is not good because eventually, someone will miss the question entirely and have to retake the quiz.
Any suggestions? Can this be done?
I have a short demo with all my settings if anyone wants to see it.

Hello,
Yep, you are bumping onto the limitations of the current default Quizzes. If you allow multiple attempts on Question level, the user will not be able to leave the slide without exhausting those attemps or having a correct answer. If you allow multiple attempts on Quiz level, the Retake button will delete all answers and the user has to redo the whole quiz.
The only way I found was by creating my own question slides. I even succeeded in making Quiz Retake function only for incorrect answers. This is however a lot of work and when I read the amount of questions you are providing...

Captivate 4 - Quiz Issue

I have developed in captivate 4 - at the end of my e-learning I have inserted a 5 question quiz - but the calculations for the quiz go wrong.
It keeps thinking that I have 29 questions. There are simulations in the presentations - and I wonder if it is somehow including these. I have checked the quiz preferences and reporting is turned off - can't really think what else to try. Not using an LMS Yet

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I suspect that you do not only have Question slides but several scored objects (like Text Entry Boxes, Click Boxes, Buttons) in your project.
You can check this in the Advanced Interaction view (F9 or in the Project menu). Look in the column 'Points' and 'Add to Total'. At the bottom you will see the total number of points, that will include the scores of those objects. This view is interactive in CP4 - not in CP5, so you can deselect "Add to total' for those objects and I hope that you will see the correct number of questions after this action.

How to get a quiz developed with a timer in Adobe captivate 8

I want to develop a quiz with 10 questions. So those who answer max correct answers with less time should be announced as winner
Current version 8 doesn’t show the option to publish file into exe.
Also I have few issues with the current package I prepared.
Not sure how to get the timer
enabled in the package.
Need to add logo on all slides
3. How to add hyperlink
for Adobe Registration.
Some experts please help me

Well, first, I believe if you update CP8 to the latest version:
Adobe Captivate Help | Adobe Captivate 8 patch
Then the .exe option is restored to Captivate.
But that probably won't help your other request.
For Captivate itself to know if someone's score is best, it has to know what all the other users' scores are.
How will it find that out? (especially as an .exe which is going to likely have even a harder time getting info from the web)
The best way to do what you want is to use an LMS with that 'leaderboard' feature (i.e ExpertusOne)...so it can evaluate everyone's recorded scores and show the best.
And even that would probably need a hack as I *assume* it basis 'best' on the score, not on the time.
So even if you could do a timer in Captivate, it has no way of knowing other users' scores nor a way to evaluate which is 'best' even if it did.
(you might be able to work that all in with extensive JS hacking?)
Fortunately, the logo is pretty easy - put the logo image on the master slide(s) you use in the piece.
What sort of Adobe Registration do you mean?

Adobe Captivate 4 - Tracking AICC to the LMS issue

Hi,
I created a Captivate 4 Quiz; I published the Quiz with the AICC reporting option and as a result Captivate 4 created the files shown below:
I hosted all these files in the same server, same folder, and same domain where the Isoph Blue (Learn Something) LMS is installed. I also published the course from the LMS and it seems to be OK.
When participants login and launch the course from the LMS the course works very well. All questions are shown, correct and incorrect answers are also shown at the end. The quiz window is closed at the end without problem.
The issue is that there is not notification to the LMS of course completion, the Icon (located on the right of the image shown below) that tells the participant course is completed does not change the status. It does not change from Launch to Print Certificate status.
The Captivate is not tracking correctly course completion to the LMS. So, we can not track user activity neither print the certificate at the end of the course.
Can you please help me troubleshoot this issue?
What can I do to make this course completion notification works with the LMS?
I can provide more information, files and details on how I created the course, etc.
Note: Isoph Blue is AICC compatible, there are other (*.aspx) courses that are tracked via AICC and they are tracked correctly, the issue is only with Captivate 4. We also have Captivate 3.

Hi there
I certainly cannot claim to be any sort of expert on the H.264 format, but Captivate 4 only produces SWF, EXE and AVI formats. So you are correct in that you would need to convert from either the SWF or AVI format to an H.264 format. From what I understand, AVI and MP4 are the two file extensions you may find H.264 file format used. So I suppose it's possible to say that if you have a CODEC (Compressor/Decompressor) installed for H.264, Captivate could spit out an AVI encoded in H.264 format.
More information on H.264 at the links below:
H.264 FAQ & Basic Conversion Guide
WikiPedia article on H.264 format
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Generate Report Troubles with Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer

I'm new to Captivate 5 and am trying to utilize the Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer.
I've enabled report for my project to Acrobat.com and configured as instructed in the online help. The Post Result button appears on the Summary page and appears to work for the two colleagues taking the quiz. But when I click the Generate Report button in Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer, I get the message "Data is not present on local file system, downloading course data," but nothing occurs - no course data appears from the colleagues who are helping me test the quiz.
I'm able to sign in to the Quiz Results Analyzer and it does display the organization, department and course name, but no course data (see image below).
What am I doing incorrectly that keeps this from generating a course report?
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Vish,
Your solution worked at first. I went in, took the course, and then went into Analyzer and was able to Generate Report and look at my stats. However, I had a colleague take the course. She did and posted the results and received a "successful" posting message. Then, I went back into Analyzer and clicked the Generate Report button to see how the system worked when there was new learner data. A "Checking for new data" played for a half hour before I finally gave up.
I know that you were able to reproduce this issue where in clicking the Generate Report a second time brings up the loading animation that stays forever and that you were investigating the issue, but I thought I should post here just in case anyone else has a solution.
Thanks,
Jeff

Quiz in Adobe captivate???Please help???

I am trying to create a 5 question quiz for customers at a tradeshow. customers walk by the computer, enter their name, answer the quiz, submits it. once it is submitted, it displays the screen where a new customer has to enter his name again and start answering quiz...same process..
in the end i should be able to pull out a report, correct answers by name....
is it possible in adobe captivate????????

Yes and no. YOu can create a form slide that allows users to enter information and answer quiz questions. Their entered details and scores for questions can be captured using variables. However, Captivate is more designed for submitting this kind of information to a Learning Management System.
In order to get what you want for your tradeshow kiosk, you would need to have a custom database solution of some kind that received the information from your course and entered each different person's details and scores as records. Captivate doesn't do this for you. You'll need the services of a web developer, ActionScript 3, or JavaScript developer (and possibly all of them).

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks
