Captivate 7 Drag and Drop Question

I'm trying to create a drag & drop with one correct drop target, and six items to choose from. Three correct answers, and three incorrect. I'd like to have three items be dropped in, while three should not. My issue is I can't get Captivate to "reject" the three incorrect when dropped in the target... I'm sure it is something simple, and I am just overlooking it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You will have to check if the target is set up to Accept only the correct drag sources. Select target, Click on Object Actions (Format tab). By default it is set to Accept All, uncheck the wrong drag sources.

How do I add a progress monitor to a drag and drop question in captivate 7

I need to build a quiz. We have spent a lot of time on the style guide and appearance but I am having difficulty adding a progress monitor to my drag and drop questions. How can I do this?

A Drag&Drop is not a normal question slide, hence that progress indicator is not added, and it wouldn't even be functional.
Long time ago I explained how to create a custom progress indicator, maybe it can help you: Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog

Adobe Captivate Help | Drag-and-drop interaction (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers only)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/drag-and-drop-interaction.html

Yep. But it will only likely get to you in the next version released for NON subscription or ASA customers. With 6.1 Adobe was giving a preview of the functionality they would be including in your next release. Either way, whether you upgraded to the subscription edition or waited for the next paid upgrade, you were always going to be paying something to get this new functionality. 6.1 users just got it earlier than everyone else. That was Adobe's decision. It certainly hasn't been a popular one.

Captivate 8 drag and drop interaction

Hello,
just having a look at the new captivate 8 and when i try and make a drag and drop question i go to the normal place of window> drag and drop. but the problem is the drag and drop option is grayed out - could this be because i am only running it on a trial copy?

Hi, I'm evaluating Captivate 8 and had the same question as SuzySu.
If my client wants a drag and drop activity, would I need to create a non-responsive project and because being able to view on mobile is also required, would I need to create a separate responsive project without drag and drop? If so, when publishing the projects, would the proper project be automatically selected based on their viewing platform?
Also, is there a list off all interactions that will or will not work with a responsive theme?
Thank you!

Drag and Drop Questions in ocjp6

Hi friends, I'm about to take my ocjp6 exam the following month. Does the exam has DRAG AND DROP questions or I have no need to worry about it? Any latest exam takers? or any one who's aware of it kindly help me with your guidance friends.

If you think that article implies that ALL drag and drop questions were removed from the tests you need to reread it.
The fact that you are not prepared is manifest from the question that you ask and the lack of preparation that you showed by not having reviewed the official information that was available.
As has been frequently stated in the past Oracle is always free to include or exclude ANY topic from ANY exam at ANY time without prior notice. Exam takers are expected to have knowledge in ALL of the fundamental areas of their topic.
Most people preparing for an exam would take one of the many preparatory courses and trial exams that are available.
The fact that you have not indicated that you have done ANY of that is what indicates your lack of preparation.
Attempting to 'shoot the messenger' might make you feel better but it won't overcome your lack of preparation.

Adobe Presenter 10 Drag and Drop questions - only grey box when trying to create

Hi,
I try to create drag and drop questions in Presenter 10 and after clicking on Add Question -> Drag Drop, the new window opens but where I should be able to define the questions etc, the screen is just grey. Have the same issue on three other systems as well.
Flash is updated to latest version and so is Presenter 10.
Weirdly the installed Flash version is 15, but a right-click into the grey box shows me version 11.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Just in case someone else has the same problem, a chat with Adobe brought the solution:
On the gray screen, Right click and go to Global settings
Go to advanced tab
Scroll down and click "Trusted location settings"
On the "Trusted location settings" window, click "add" on the bottom
Click "Add Folder" and select "Local disk c"
Click "Ok" and Confirm on "Trusted location settings" window
Worked for me (on three different machines) like a charm!

Captivate 7 Drag and Drop is crashing Safari in iOS7, is this a know issue? Is there a fix?

This is on an iPad 3, iOS7 version 7.1.1
The Drag and Drop functions properly in Chrome, IE9, and iOS6 so I'm assuming everything is set up correctly. The scene loads, then after a second or two closes Safari.
Captivate 7
Version 7.0.1.237
Windows 7

Though I would still like an answer to this question, I do have a workaround...
Instead of setting the target objects actions to Play Audio, set the actions to execute an advanced action consisting of two statements: Play Audio and Assign CpCmdPause to 1.

Captivate 8 Drag and Drop

I am looking for a solution and came across this unanswered question:
"For the drag and drop actions in Captivate 8, is there a way to indicate wrong answers on submit? Or, is there a way to only reset incorrect answers on reset? (I know this wasn't an available option on earlier versions.) I am trying to indicate when one drag source to drag target connection was incorrectly made by using a smart shape to highlight the drop target. I am unsure of how to create an advanced action to make this display only when the answer is incorrect, (as well as for other incorrect targets). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated."
Any insight on this? I work with wounded veterans, many of them with TBIs, and would like to include this in the activities I am creating.
Thank you!

You need to use the object actions, which are triggered when a drag source is dropped on a target. Those actions can populate user variables, perhaps Booleans (only value 0 or 1 possible): set the variable to 0 if wrong drop action, set it to 1 for correct action. Then you'll have to create a conditional action to be fired by the Submit button. That action should check the value of each variable and show previously hidden checkmarks or highlights for the incorrect answers.
There is no way to only reset incorrect answers.

Captivate 7 Drag And Drop

Hello All,
I have been playing with Drag And Drop and was trying to set a question up where I had 10 drag-able items which had 6 correct answers. What I was wondering is there was a way to allow multiple attempts to drag the correct answers while having feedback let the user know how many they currently have correct.
Is that possible? Of do we have to set each answer up to report as correct choice as they drop them into the drop-zone? I have a sample set up where I can continually drag and drop items into the answer area, but it will only tell me I am wrong, it wont tell me how many correct items I have placed.
I hope I have made sense.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks a bunch.

Hi there,
You can achieve this in Captivate 7 by enabling the following settings,
1. Select all the 10 Drag source objects and mark them as Sources, mark target as well.
2. Create a 'Custom Type' called 'Correct answers’; mark all the 6 correct sources as the type 'Correct Answers'.
3. Create a Correct answer link between 'Correct Answers' to target with the count 6. (You can do it either on stage or can do it in the Correct Answers' dialog).
4. Enable 'Redrag the dropped source option' from 'Drag and Drop>Interaction Properties' accordion (This setting allows to Drag out the dropped source)
5. De select 'Send Drag source to original position’ from 'Drag And Drop>Interaction Properties' accordion (This setting allows to place the dragged out source anywhere on stage)
6. Enable 'Auto Submit Correct Answers' option from 'Drag And Drop>Options' accordion. (This settings allows to auto submit the answers whenever the user places all the 6 correct sources correctly on target)
7. Insert Text caption on stage, Uncheck 'Visible in Output' option.
8. Set on Success action for the interaction as Show> Text caption inserted in Step 7. (On success action gets executed 'On drop' of the 6th correct source' and shows the above inserted caption. You can modify the Caption text to give the correct feedback)
You can move the submit button out of stage in case if you don’t want the user to submit an incorrect answer.
Hope this resolves the issue.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.

Captivate 8 drag and drop interaction not working

Hi, I am working with Captivate 8 and created a drag and drop interaction using the drag and drop wizard. For some reason when I preview the interaction some of my drag sources work and others do not. I have searched high and low for what I may be doing wrong but I can't figure it out. I created types when making the interaction so it doesn't make sense that some should work and others do not. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Ok, so I inserted the screen shots below. I realize the items are overlapping in the wiring. I did change that and try it but it still didn't work. Maybe I need to completely rebuild it? I created types so that 9 would go to one target and 6 to the other.Thank you so much for your quick help on all of this.

Drag and Drop questions and Serialization in the 1Z0-852 Upgrade exam?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the drag and drop items and serialization have been removed from the 1Z0-852 Java SE 6 Programmer Certified Professional UPGRADE exam?
I know that they have been removed from the 1Z0-851, but not sure about the upgrade exam.
Thanks in advance,

Drag and drop questions in scjp

hi all,
i m planning to write scjp this month..
can anyone tell me what 'drag n drop' questions like?
and what kind of questions are generally asked?

Well you can't change your answer for the drag and drop i mean you can but if you try to go back and try to see your question again for drag and drop then your answer is going to be deleted and then you had to redo the whole thing.
So i suggest please make your decision at the same time. Drag and drop are not hard i mean something like this
System.out.printf("Pi is approxmicately", Math.PI);
Pi is approximately ______
Place the value for PI 3.14
3.145
Something like that Good luck

Easy Drag and Drop question

I can drag-n-drop from a tree to tree; grid to tree; tree to
list; list to tree ... but I'm having a helluva time dragging from
a plain old textInput to a tree. It seem to be something to do
w/the drag proxy ... when I try it, a new node shows up in the tree
with no label.
I'm running out if ideas.
Thanks --
-- Jeff

This is interesting. As well as having the above problem, I
was getting an incorrect result when dragging to the correct points
in column 2. even though it should be correct
Because of the issue in the previous post, i.e. not being
able to see the last two entries, I decided to delete them.
Hey presto this seemed to fix this above problem. Now my drag
and drop works.
It seems captivate doesn't like to go beyond 6 entries in
column 1 i.e. doesn't show the extra entries and also causes an
false error when successfully completing the drag and drop

Drag and drop questions using image and painting

Hi all,
please apologize me if i'm posting a just discussed topic, but I couldn't find anything that could help me.
I'm trying to create an application where I've a Jtree on the left panel that contain entities that have to be dragged and dropped in the central panel (eventually pasting a representative image) as user decide.
I've just implemented all panels and jtree. I read java tutorial on drag and drop, but I don't know HOW i can paste image as objects that then i can manipulate in such a way that the user needs.
Do I have to use java.awt.dnd package?
Please, I'd like to receive some suggestion about.
Thanks in advance for your kindness.
Vincenzo

I'm sorry, I think that i've not been clear in my explanation. I don't know how to transfer by drag & drop an image (a node of a jtree) to a beside panel. I don't want to get code, it will be more appreciate suggestions on how to proceede.
I don't understand if I need java.awt.dnd package. On java tutorial I read that it shouldn't have to be used.
Thanks, I hope that I've been clearer now.

Drag and Dropping -- Question

Howdy,
I'm new at the whole drag and dropping thing...
I have a JList and users can drop mp3s on it (sorta like a playlist -- actually it is a playlist)
Now, I don't want users to drop .txt or .doc files onto the Jlist and what I have done to prevent this is the following: (Full code below)
String extension = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf('.')+1);
if (extension.equals("mp3")) {
     listModel.addElement(f.getName());
     vectorFullPath.add(f.getPath());
}I guess what I want to know is, should I be using the isDropAcceptable method to disallow dropping of non mp3 files instead of using the code above? And how would I go about using that function, properly?
class TextAreaDropSongs extends JPanel {
     Vector<String> vectorFullPath;
     public TextAreaDropSongs() {
          vectorFullPath = new Vector<String>();
          DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
          JList jlist = new JList(listModel);
          new DropTarget(jlist, new TextDropTargetListener(listModel, vectorFullPath));
          this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          this.add(new JScrollPane(jlist), "Center");
     public Vector<String> getSongPaths() {
          return vectorFullPath;
class TextDropTargetListener implements DropTargetListener {
     DefaultListModel listModel;
     Vector<String> vectorFullPath;
     public TextDropTargetListener(DefaultListModel dlm, Vector<String> vec) {
          listModel = dlm;
          vectorFullPath = vec;
     public void dragEnter(DropTargetDragEvent event) { }
     public void dragExit(DropTargetEvent event) { }
     public void dragOver(DropTargetDragEvent event) { }
     public void dropActionChanged(DropTargetDragEvent event) {
          if (!isDragAcceptable(event)) {
               event.rejectDrag();
               return;
     public void drop(DropTargetDropEvent event) {
          if (!isDropAcceptable(event)) {
               event.rejectDrop();
               return;
          event.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY);
          Transferable transferable = event.getTransferable();
          DataFlavor[] flavors = transferable.getTransferDataFlavors();
          for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
               DataFlavor d = flavors;
               try {
                    if (d.equals(DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor)) {
                         java.util.List fileList = (java.util.List) transferable.getTransferData(d);
                         Iterator iterator = fileList.iterator();
                         while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                              File f = (File) iterator.next();
                              String extension = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf('.')+1);
                              if (extension.equals("mp3")) {
                                   listModel.addElement(f.getName());
                                   vectorFullPath.add(f.getPath());
               } catch (Exception e) { }
          event.dropComplete(true);
     public boolean isDragAcceptable(DropTargetDragEvent event) {
          return (event.getDropAction() & DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE) != 0;
     public boolean isDropAcceptable(DropTargetDropEvent event) {
          return (event.getDropAction() & DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE) != 0;
