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!

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 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.

My Captivate 7 Drag and Drop interaction is hit or miss . . .

The interaction is with mutiple targets, each with multiple correct drag sources, some drag sources can be used in more than one drop target. In the background of each target, I have deselected "accept all" and then had selected only the acceptable answers. The idea is that they drag sources until they have placed each one in a bucket (incorrect answers bouncing back, and then the user retrying with another target) until all the sources are gone and only the buckets remain on the screen.
It's crazy, the first couple seem to go okay, and after that, everything bounces back no matter whether it's correct or not. Please help before I go crazy!
As well, is it possible to post the captivate file to this blog so you can see what I've done?
Thanks in advance for any help that someone can offer!

Hi there,
You need to click on the 'Submit' button to execute the sucess action in case if 'Auto Submit' is disabled.
Thanks,

Drag and Drop interaction.

I really struggle with setting this up. The Finish button stays inactive. Is the a tutorial for this?
Kindly,
Jake

Have you mapped the source and targets? I think the button remains inactive until you map.
You can read more about it here. It also has some demos.

How do I create a drag and drop interaction using Captivate 8?

I cannot figure out how to create a drag and drop interaction in Captivate 8. Options to do this are greyed-out.

You can only use D&D in normal projects, not in responsive projects.

Can drag and drop interactions created in Captivate 6.1 be exported to HTML5?

I need to convert some Flash drag and drop interactions to HTML5 and I'm looking at Captivate and Storyline.
Can drag and drop interactions created in Captivate 6.1 be exported to HTML5?
(I tried Captivate 6 with the drag and drop widget and that didn't work, and I can't find a trial version of 6.1).
Many thanks,
Sonya

Many thanks Lilybiri
I've just chatted to Adobe support and they have told me there is no educational discount for subscription I coudn't find the info on the website, so if anyone is interested, subscription is $29.99/month or $19.99/month if you sign up for a year.

Drag and Drop Interaction Wizard

I am having problems with the Drag and Drop Interaction Wizard. I am using Captivate (6.1) and when I launch the wizard I am able to select the drag objects and drop targets, but when I get to Step 3 (mapping), I am unable to map the drag sources to the drop targets. When I double click on the drag source and draw the arrow to the drop target, the arrow disappears.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do about it?

Hi,
You do not want to double click on the object in Step 3. All you need to do to map the source to destination, on the Green Items you would notice a '+' symbol, drag and put them on the drop item, you would able to map them easily that way, double clicking them would deselect the object.
For more clarification, what this video tutorial --

Drag and Drop Interaction with 50+ Drop Targets

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Captivate 7 but very familiar with Flash. I'm tasked with a project that I would like to do with the drag and drop interaction widget from Captivate 7. Basically, we need our learners to identify the locations of our resorts on a map. Select the name of the resort, drag and drop it in the city/state or country where located. My question is can Captivate handle this task? To me, it seems as a large task for Captivate to handle, and so I was thinking of coding it in Flash.
Here is what I need:
1.- List of all the properties at bottom with the drop target being a map of the US or world and have the location for each property as the drop target.
2.- When the resort/property is selected, the name will change to the three letter code. Example: New York City, when clicked = NYC and the map itself to reflect the 3 letter code once dropped on the map if correct.
3. If incorrect, the listed item will revert to the long name and return to the list.
4. If this can be graded, it would be best.
I can break the project into different regions but if I wanted to keep all 300+ properties in one module, will it be an issue? At the very least, I would need to do a minimum of about 50 per module.
Thanks all! I've found this forum to be extremely helpful and the members seem to be eager to help.

var matchingTargetName:String =(event.target.name).substring(0, 1);
Change the name of the target to A and B and the mc A1, A2, A3, A4... and B1, B2,B3...

Drag and drop interaction for a different use

Hi,
Can anyone please help me get the a solution to the below: For the drag and drop interaction my user should be able to drop the answer (irrespective of that being a wrong answer) to any of the options, but as they click Submit, the actual answers should show up.
I am using Captivate 7.
Thanks,
Roja

Thanks so much Sreekanth!
One thing that I am still struggling with is, the source (the questions) do not sit on the wrong destinations (non-answers), the moment it dragged to the wrong answer, the source goes back to its original place .
Thanks,
Roja

Drag and Drop Interaction - Incomplete

Hi
I have began using the Drag and Drop Interaction which is working really well. I have one issue that I cannot see how to do, I hope there is a possible solution somewhere.
All other questions have an incomplete caption that appears when you click submit but have not selected any options or selected any hotspots. Is there a way to make this happen with the D&D interaction? I use this as part of an assessment and would like it that the user cannot skip until they have at least attempted to drag an item.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks

I suppose it is a validated D&D since you are talking about a question. If not everything is done, it is clearly a Failure, which means that you can use the Failure event to trigger a conditional advanced action that checks if all drag actions have been done that were expected. For that reason you'll have to track the drag actions, maybe by using the Object actions and a counter...

CP 6.1 Drag and drop interaction - can it be edited/viewed/published by someone using CP6?

Hi all,
I am reasonably new to Captivate. I have a subscription to Captivate 6.1 which now has the new Drag and Drop wizard.
My question is:
If I include a drag and drop interaction in my .cptx file, save it and then give the file to person X to review/edit, but they DO NOT have the drag and drop feature in their version of Captivate (they have Captivate 6), can they:
a: view it?
b. edit it?
c. even if they can't view or edit, could they still publish the file from their end and the drag and drop will work fine and not be affected?
Thanks!
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
Although there is now compatibility between 6.01 and 6.1, which means that your colleagues will be able to open your file, I don't believe they'll be able to edit the interaction at all. And of course publishing will not be possible either. Because I have still 6.01 installed on my laptop and 6.1 on my desktop PC, I can try it out if you want to be totally sure, but for the moment I'm in college and only have laptop with me.

Who'd like to test a new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget?

It's taken about 6 months of every spare minute we could find but we're finally ready to do a round of Alpha testing for our new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget for Cp4 and 5. This post is to ask for a handful of volunteers to test the new widget over the next week creating drag and drop interactions in both Cp4 and Cp5.
If you've already tried our well-known Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget, but were a bit frustrated by the limitations that the quiz question format placed on your creativity, we think you'll be blown away by what this new Interactive Widget can do. It does everything the current question widget does, aside from the aspects that are unique to question types (Review Area, Retake Quiz, etc) plus a whole lot more. Due to the extra functionality, this widget has twice as much code as our last one.
Some of the features:
You can have as many widgets as you want on a single slide and each can be addressing a different drag and drop scenario.
You can reference the same drag and target objects from different widgets to create different.
Since they are interactive widgets, you can use the widget success/failure criteria to trigger Advanced Actions. This opens up a lot of possibilities for game interactions.
You can score each widget differently so that OnSuccess they will each report different scores for dragging the same objects. This means you can have Conditional Scoring and more than one correct answer for a given problem.
You can set one of the widgets to have its Preferences be used for all widgets on the slide so that you don't need to set all widget preferences individually, thus saving a lot of time.
You can set Preference Priority for each widget to configure which widgets will have "right of way" if there is a potential conflict in preferences. For example, if one widget wants one type of snapping behaviour on an object but another widget wants the same object to snap differently, the widget with the higher Preference Priority will dominate.
You can nominate other interactive objects (including clickboxes or other widgets) to act as Submit button and Clear button to create a simulated quiz question.
Since this widget is an Interactive widget, it also has the same advanced Pausing override behaviours we built into our Event Handler widget (http://www.infosemantics.com.au/eventhandler) So you can have users stay on the same slide playing with the drag and drop interaction for as long as they like without progressing to the next slide until they want to.
Plus other stuff I can't think of right now.
If you decide to volunteer to participate in this Alpha testing, please don't use this widget for any production Captivate projects you may have. The Alpha and Beta versions of the widget will be time-bombed to stop working after a couple of weeks so that we don't have buggy versions running around later.
As I said at the beginning, we only need a handful of testers, we need people using either Cp4 or Cp5, and you need to do this testing over the next week so that we can then address any issues you find and release a debugged Beta version for more testing.
Anyone wanna play?
If you do want to volunteer, send me a private message on this forum with your email address so I can send you a widget and instructions. We'll only be taking the first dozen or so people that are willing to contribute time and feedback.
Cheers,
Rod Ward

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.
jpm

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.

Infosemantics Drag and Drop Interactive widget

I’ve added the Infosemantics Drag and Drop Interactive widget to my project, but it only works after publishing via a computer and not on an iPad. I published using both SWF and HTML5 so it “should” work. The HTML tracker for that slide does not list any unsupported slides or objects. If this widget is not compatible with the iPad, is the new Captivate drag and drop feature available for Subscription and ASA customers work on an iPad? If so, is there a student rate for either a Subscription or ASA? Thanks so much.

The drag&drop wizard in 6.1 is easy to use, but doesn't have all the functionality that you find in the InfoSemantics Interactive widget. Just want to warn you. I am using both: for simple Drag&Drop I'll use the wizard, but as an example to create a custom matching or sequence question slide I need InfoSemantics widget, that is not possible with the 6.1 D&D.
