Captivate 4 Question Pool Slides Show Ghosts

Random question slides display captions from previous slides
when I publish to Flash 8-10. Publishing to Flash 7 or using the
same questions (but not as random questions) cures the problem.
The captions appear on all but one random question slide (8
of 10 doesn't display the problem). The captions are from four
upstream slides each of which has different rollover captions. The
problematic question slides show all the rollover captions,
superimposed over the question.
The PC showing the problem is running Win XP SP3, Flash WIN
10,0,22,87. Other PC's at the same site do have the problem when
running the same published show.
I've tried recreating the question pool from the original
question slides, recreating the random question slides,
uninstalling and reinstalling Flash on the target PC with the same
results.
Any one else noticed this?
Any suggestions for a fix other than publishing in Flash 7?

Did you or others submit an official bug report?

  • Export a Captivate question pool

    Is there a way to export a Captivate question pool in an xml format, perhaps make a GIFT file or QTI format?

    Even if you could export them, you could not edit them. In
    other words, Adobe Captivate does not have a way to import
    questions that are not written in Captivate (you can't just type
    them in Word for example). In Captivate 4 you can make questons and
    question pools and import them, but the author needs to do that in
    Captivate 4
    One solution is to have Captivate 4 for each developer and
    that would simplify your work.
    Another solution woul be to design a Word DOC file that has a
    picture of the Question Style and then a place to type the Question
    and Answers for that style. The Captivate developer could then copy
    and paste the text into the question slides. If you run dual
    monitors, this is easy to do and it goes quickly.

  • Transition for Question Pool Slides

    Captivate v5.5
    I have a question pool of 20 slides with 5 random slides in the main project.
    I have applied "Blinds" as a transition option to all 20 slides in the question pool.
    When I test the questions (F8 starting on the slide before the first random question slide), the transitions do not work.
    Any idea?
    Noel

    Hi Rod,
    I previewed the whole project (F4) and still the transition did not work.
    Having to publish it (eg to .exe I presume you mean) before I can check the slide transition seems a little long winded - but I will give it a go just in case.
    Thanks...

  • Captivate 8: Can I create a random question pool from existing quiz slides?

    I made a quiz for a client, published it out and everything works perfectly.  Now the client has decided that they want the questions to be random.  I have tried to add my existing question slides to the question pool, however I have no idea how to do this correctly.  Nothing I try seems to work - the only tutorial I could find was on the Adobe site and it simply said to create a question pool and then drag the slides to the timeline, replacing the question pool slides with the existing slides.  But I cannot drag the slides for some reason, and I am very confused about these directions, they don't seem to mesh with my version of Captivate.
    My questions weren't part of a question pool when I developed this quiz as I had no idea such a thing existed. And now I see through every tutorial I find, a question pool is necessary for randomizing the questions.  So, my question is... is there a way to do this with existing question slides, or will I have to start all over again? 

    Hi there
    Should be even simpler. Select the question slides and right-click. There should be an option to send them to the desired pool!
    Cheers... Rick

  • Assign points to quiz slides using Question Pools Manager

    Is it possible to assign the points to be reported for a slide when using the Question Pools Manager?
    If one slide, for example, has 10 points, and another slide has 5 points, when they are both added to a question pool, do their loose their original number of points and get assigned whatever number of points chosen when a random slide is added to the pool?
    I hope someone can clarify. Thanks.

    I just checked in Captivate 5 and it looks like the scoring is associated with the Question Pool slide, not the Question slide that gets randomly inserted.
    If you're trying to achieve a result where the difficulty of the question matched the number of points awarded for getting it right, you might need to set up a number of question pools.  E.g. one pool for easy questions, another for medium difficulty, and a third for really difficult ones.  Assign 1 or 2 points as the default for the easy ones, maybe 5 for medium, and 10 points for hard ones.
    This is what I do in fact.

  • How to make a question pool with MANY questions?

    I would like to make a question pool
    with several thousand questions, which I currently have in an
    Excel file. Is there a way around having manually to enter all
    questions in a Captivate question pool?
    Thanks.

    I would use the XML function from Captivate 4.
    - Make yourself a test quiz with two slides, one being a multiple choice.
    - Export it to XML
    - Open the XML File in Excel
    Good point to start with is ns1:g and ns1:Source26.
    Most likely you can get all your question into captivate that way.

  • Cp6 - scorm and question pools?

    I have a particular activity that was formerly built in cp5.5 (non-scorm) which I've now republished in Cp6 and uploaded to our LMS.
    This particular lesson has 32 questions which pull from 5 question pools.  The filmstrip shows 41 slides.
    I set the "Success/Completion Criteria" to 'slide views' and 90%.  However, once complete the LMS is not recognizing the lesson as complete and continues to show 0% completion.
    I have a different lesson without question pools that does show completion, and the slide view % is the same.  I can't find a difference between them other than the question pools.
    Does the Success/Completion Criteria look at the question pool slides as part of the total, or does it only count the slides the learner might see?
    thanks.

    you have to design undebuggable version...

  • Results slide showing all question pool results not just the ones completed.

    I have several question pools which have the option to be taken independently or separately.
    If the user does not take all seven of the modules then the quiz results slide at the end is incorrect as it will report all of the questions not just the ones attempted.
    I have tried the Branch aware option in the quiz results option but that did not worth.
    It this an easy fix or does it require me to add a variable count for each correct answer.
    Many thanks
    Rick

    Branch aware should be just fine for that case, why do you tell it is not working? Branch Aware Quiz - Captivate blog
    When you say 'score slide is not reporting correctly', I had no such problems.
    You could create a custom score slide indeed, using variables, but what if you have to report as a SCORM? Only possibility in that case is Branch aware.

  • How do you print the slides in the question pool in captivate 6?

    how do you print the slides in the question pool in captivate 6?

    You move them back into the main project first, and then print them like other slides.

  • How can I get Captivate to score across multiple question pools?

    I have set up a Captivate assessment as follows:
    A core set of 50 questions will be presented to all learners
    Depending on where the learner is, he will receive an additional 10 questions from one of 5 location-specific pools
    Learners will see a total of 60 questions
    I have my question pools set up and branching correctly, and am using the Branch Aware option to assist with this and the progress indicator. Before the first question I have the learner click one of several buttons (not quiz elements) to set a location variable, and after presenting the core questions I use this variable to determine which random question slide to jump to next (with set of slides pointing to a different question pool). After asking the 10 random questions from that pool the learner is then redirected to the review slide so only one set of location-specific slides is encoutnered on each attempt.
    All of that seems to be working as designed but the scoring is not behaving as I had expected; despite the fact that all questions are asked before the review slide is presented (i.e. all questions are within the quiz scope in both the edit-time and run-time sense) the review slide only reports results from the first question pool. For example, in a test file I reduced the question slides for the first pool to only display 2 questions, for a total of 12 presented, but my results show "0 of 2 correct" or "2 of 2 correct." The pass/fail results of the module match the review slide, so this is not a simple display issue; if I miss either of the two questions from the first pool I fail regardless of what happens in the second pool.
    What am I missing? Surely there wouldn't be the option of using multiple question pools if only one could be graded ...
    I am working on Captivate 6.0.1 64-bit for Windows. FWIW the file was originally created in Captivate 5 and has since been upconverted, but the additional question pools weren't introduced until after the conversion processes so I wouldn't expect this to be related to residual crud left over from that process.

    Thanks for the quick response ...
    I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
    I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
    Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

  • Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

    Hi,
    I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool.  The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens.  You can't get off the quiz slide.  The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
    Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
    Thanks!
      Lori

    I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
    Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
    Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
    For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
    I can finally finish this project.
    Good luck.

  • Captivate Crashes When Editing Question Pool

    Captivate v5.5
    I have a project with 36 questions in a question pool.
    I need to edit some the these QP questions but as soon as I start doing this I get the message that Captivate has encountered an error...very sorry...and must close down. I have tried it three times and it does it every time.
    I have edited QP questions many times before without this problem.
    I am not working via company network but I have just moved locations from one part of my office to another, in case this means anything.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions. I am happy to provide any more details if required.
    Noel

    Hi Noel,
    Can you let me know if the current location of your project is on any server or network?
    Also, Launch Captivate beofre editing the Project, go to Edit --Preferences -- General-- Check the Option to Generate Project Backup.
    Do one more test, create another project adn impor the Question pool of this project there -- File--Import --Question pool.
    Try editing it fisrt in this dummy project, if it allows, try again on the main project.
    If it still crashes, try copying all your slides excluding Quiz Result Slide to this project.
    Thanks,

  • Content slides in question pools?

    Can content slides be used in question pools?  Same for random question mode? I am in a captivate 7 trial.

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    Could you explain what you want to achieve? Maybe I could then make a proposal, question pools are meant for questions. You always insert 'one' random slide, and I suppose you want to insert a random 'group' of slides, content + questions?

  • Captivate 4 Simulation in Question Pool

    Hello all,
    I have created quizes using some simulation slides.  One slide, click where type questions.
    Example.  With one click, print the Excel spreadsheet.
    I looked through the forum and have found nothing relating to putting simulation slides into a Question Pool.  I guess the first question is; is it possible.
    Second question: if it is possible, how?
    Does anyone have experience with this?
    Thanks in advance
    Terry Dicken

    Hi Terry
    To my knowledge only Question Slides may be part of a Pool. As you are talking about Animations, my guess is that it won't be possible because of the way the developers have structured Captivate and the Question Pooling feature.
    Perhaps others have a different viewpoint.
    Cheers... Rick
