Change Captivate 3 Quiz Preferences

Because we do not yet use an LMS, we always use the same quiz preferences in our modules. Can I change something in captivate 3 to make the quiz preferences come in by default to the one setup that actually works for us?

Open up a new project and set all your settings to your liking. Then save the "blank" project as "standardTemplate" or whatever and use that as a basis for all your new projects. That way your settings will always be the same.
When I used Captivate 3 I had a standard template project, which contained my settings and the buttons I use in my projects. I just opened that up - saved it with the new project name and then I was ready to start.

Importing Quiz Preferences

Hello,
We are working on a project that has many Captivate projects. I am trying to change the quiz preferences in the Captivate projects. I do this by changing the quiz preferences then exporting the preferences to a CPR file. Then, I import the CPR file into another Captivate project.
The problem is that not all of the preferences are being imported. I enabled reporting for the project. That setting seems to import into other projects. However, I also changed options such as:
Slide View Completion percentage
Under Settings, the Required selection
Under Pass or Fail, allow user Infinite attempts
None of these preferences are being imported into the new project.
Any ideas on how to do this? (Besides manually changing over 100 project files.)
We are using Captivate 4 and Windows XP.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
The options which you have mentioned are purposefully not exported and then consequently imported. If you want these options to be a part of preference options export/import workflow then I would advise you to submit an enhancement request.
But you try this workaround:
1. Open project 1 which has your quiz settings, which you want to apply on all the projects.
2. Import all the slides of project 2 in project 1.
3. Delete the slides of project 1 and save the project.

CS6 Captivate Quiz not recording Quiz to SuccessFactor Plateau LMS

I've created a simple quiz in CS6 Captivate and it works on scorm.com. Why does this simple quiz not work on Plateau? Which is identified as a LMS supported in Adobe's Authoring tools.

Can you add some more inforamtion around your project.
Share us the Screen shot of Quiz Preferences-- Reporting Menu.
Was the project checked in the same way on both LMS?
The LMS Team sould have adetailed log to decipher what could be causing the problem.

Variables for Closing Movie under Quiz Preferences

Is there a method of reporting Adobe Captivate quiz results to a Google form or spread sheet?

I found a widget for this but it has been discontinued. The guide published by Rod Ward lists this capability as "Don't even bother". What is that about?

What do you mean by '...at the end'?
Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
Question Question Slides - Part 2 - Captivate blog
Through twitter I learned that you use CP6 and that you want that message on each question slides during ReviewMode.
In CP6 system variable cpInReviewMode is not yet there. Create a user variable v_review, with a default value of 0. You'll have to toggle it to 1 when in Review Mode. That can be done using the system variable cpQuizInfoAttempts. When comparing its value to the total number of attempts, you know if you'll be getting in Review mode when getting back at the Score slide:
use the On Enter event of the score slide
create this conditional action:IF cpQuizInfoAttempts is equal to n       (where n is the number of attempts you allow in the Quiz Preferences on Quiz Level)
   Assign v_review with 1
Create the text caption or shape with text for each slide and make that text container invisible in output (Properties panel). I will label the text container: Tx_quest1, Tx_quest2.....
Use the On Enter event of each Question slide to trigger this conditional action
IF v_review is equal to 1
    Show Tx_quest1

Captivate, quiz and video issues

Ok so this post is for anyone like me ( a massive beginner) trying to use flv video's in a quiz evaluation situation for playback on local machine.
First of all if you've got lots of Big Videos probably forget the self contained situation and look at browser route. Get all your questions & video slides in and notice that whatever radio button is checked when you highlight the general quiz properties is the one it assumes is the right answer click shuffle or not and all that stuff then tell it what to do when it gets it right and then tell it what to do when it gets it wrong; like jump to watch that bit of video again ( I couldn't be arsed working out multi slide syncronising across slides and all that so I just exported the punishment / review flv bit again and made a seperate slide of it. Now what I found out is this captivate caper is not over happy with copy and paste. so when you import video I did it by importing it into the library first (It kept hanging, stopping, locking up when I inserted video the normal way after copying and pasting a previous video slide somewher else and replacing the flv) so get it in the library, drag it to a new slide, it asks you about streaming and progressive, do progressive and modify to accomodate timings, then the slide sort's its self out to suit the length of the flv (important if its too long or short or wrong or something then it hangs after its played... it won't return to quiz). The action on the slide should be on exit return to quiz. most of the other kak can be sorted either through quiz preferences or project skin editor... All that progress bar stuff is ok while your testing and that but then disable the lot at the end. who cares if the user knows how long they have got left.
Also, if you are trying to jump around from a nav slide at the start using buttons... well unless you have told quiz prefs the user doesn't have to do the quiz it might not work.
I've been on this captivate for 3 days, and its annoying as f**k but probably good, but if like me you just need a validation quick situation without scoring and data capture and all that then just get rid of all that scoring penalty caper... who cares what's what percentage they got thats for google big brother nosey data tw*ts and sad kippers. whats wrong with 'you passed go and get a sticker and a lollipop' slide at the end.
P.S. what a load of old w**k this e-learning shi*te is, I have got to get a better life. Does anyone care about this crap unless its some kind of mystical future telling algorithm,
I don't, if someone subjects me to a questionaire about 'How do I feel about Tuna welfare in the south pacific" or ' what do I consider the most important role of a fast food burger selling executive'... I'm already dead! F**k this I'm going to look at nudie women

Hello There,
Sorry to note that you are having issues with Quiz+Video workflows, but, can you please put it in bullet points the issues you are having? I'm sorry to ask you again because I didn't get much from your explanation. May be, if possible, you could send me a note on the issues with a sample file? You can send it to [email protected] Please be assured that we will work with you to investigate the issues.

I want to integrate captivate quiz with my flex application.

I am new to flex. I want to integrate flex application with captivate quiz. I could not find good documentation for this. Can any one please give me some url to find good documentation or some example. Thank you

I'm interested in using FLEX to create a widget that I load INTO a Captivate project. How would that change this approach?
Also, I've attempted to build a Flex 4 project (sdk 4.1) with this code, and it's generating the following errors:
Description

I've created the var_text.swf by creating a CP5 project that has the variable with a pre-defined value, and a button to set a new value.
Unfortunately, the project doesn't appear to load due to the errors present.
If you could find time to post a couple sample files, it may help us beginners!

Cannot change my printer preferences

Dear Hp technicians:
Hi I'm from Mexico and I just loged in to my hp e-print center and it took me here. My problem is I find it really difficult to log in from my country coz' hp connected doesn't work, it simply just don't let my Log in. I found that visiting hp connected-uk is the only way to log in. But then, I'm loged in, but I cannot change my printer preference coz' the button doesn't exist, the one that used to say "Change setting" is now just simple text. How can I go back to e-print center instead of HP connected..... Please this is driving me crazy!
I need your help

Hi there, if you've updated your ePrintCenter account to HP Connected you can't revert back. Check out this thread for more information on the change from ePC to HP Connected http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile-Printing-and-ePrintCenter/HP-Connected-Support...
Can you reply with a screenshot showing exactly what it is you're trying to change? Is it a setting of a printer in the Device tab or is it something in the "Settings" dropdown menu at the top right of the screen below?

Can you submit a User Variable instead of the Captivate Quiz Score variable to an LMS?

I am attempting to create two quizzes in a course that has branching. I know that Captivate only allows for one quiz if you are using Question type slides, but I am using a simulation to check the knowledge of a process. I want to report one of the simulation completions depending on which branch the user goes to (different branches for different products). How or is it even possible to submit user variables in place of the Captivate Quiz Score variable, the time in the course variable, and the Pass or Fail status to an LMS?

Sadly, I am using Captivate 5.5. I was thinking it should be possible to use Javascript to be able to take a specific variable and submit it to the LMS in place of Captivate's Quiz variables. I just don't know Javascript well enough to know how to do that.

How can I change my safari preferences to save a file rather than download

How can I change my safari preferences to save a file rather than it downloading

danieladorotiak wrote:
When I click on the 'save application file, it download's it and doesn't give me the option to save it.
I can't be sure, but what probably happens is that the page doesn't give you a link to a downloadable file, but a button which activates a script. There's nothing you can do about that, because you don't control the script.
it just downloads the transcripts not the document.
It sounds like the downloaded file does not open or execute as it's supposed to (which, for instance, would happen if what you downloaded was a Java application, but you didn't have Java installed).
If you are allowed to, give us the URL and we'll have a look. Also, you should add what version of Mac OS X and of Safari you are using, and you should correct your profile (which says "Mac Pro" -- this forum is for the MacBook Pro, which is a different computer from the Mac Pro).

I downloaded a widget from apple and was unable to open it because a window appeared telling me that the developer was unidentified. How do I change the security preferences that allow me to only install apps from the Mac App Store?

go to system preferences - security and privacy - under allow applications downloaded from - click on anywhere.

I don't know my administrator's name in order to make changes in system preferences.

I cannot make any changes in system preferences because whatever 'administrator name' I put down will not work. The password is correct. What steps should I take?

Thank you so much for your help. I apparently had the wrong Admin username somehow, and found it by typing
dscl . -read /groups/admin GroupMembership | open -ef
into Terminal. A text box popped up with the root username.

Mail is changing settings in preferences!

Lots of users are exposed to the Mail 3 bug (Leopard) where Mail is randomly changing settings in "Preferences"-"Account"-"Advanced" from "Password" to "APOP".
(The visual effect of this bug for the average user is that Mail will promt you for a password-dialogue box, which of course is useless trying to enter, since the settings has been changed in the preferences)
This is only in conjunction with certain Pop accounts and happens when Mail is connecting to the Pop-server (This happens most often the first time Mail connects after launch).
The Pop accounts affected are (as far as I know) Verizon in USA, Demon in England and Glocalnet in Sweden.
There are probably more Pop account-providers that are affected so I want as many reports as possible from people with this problem.
Please, all of you with this problem, report this to Apple,
http://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html
And please, reply frequently to this thread.
I want this thread to be on top of the thread-list until Apple will fix this bug.

This definitely is happening to me. I've had a Mac mini for only a month and have a dot MAC email account and my local dial-up ISP account.
Had a number of issues setting these up and after re-doing them 3 or 4 times, finally got them both working. Three days later, the dot MAC stopped working because Mail was trying to log on with SSL. It had been working fine before this. When I turned the machine on in the morning and went online, I kept getting error messages from the dot MAC system.
It's very annoying.
How does Thunderbird for the MAC work? Maybe that is the solution to this one.

The latest update to Word 2011 changes my keyboard preferences, and I don't want it to do that

I work in two languages and I use an Italian keyboard. My normal keyboard preference setting is Italian (indicated by a little Italian flag at the right of the menu bar).
But since I installed the latest update to Office 2011, every time I open Word, it changes my keyboard preference to English (the little flag at the right of the menu bar changes to the British flag).
Is there a way to prevent it from doing this? It didn't happen before. It only happens in Word 2011 (not PowerPoint 2011 or Excel 2011)

Under the Music tab for your iPod Sync preferences with iTunes, choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres instead of entire library.
Select the iTunes playlists, and/or artists, albums, genres you want transferred to your iPod followed by a sync. This will remove the music from your iPod that you don't want on the iPod.

Problem with registering Captivate Quiz score in LMS

We are using Integrity e-Learning’s WBT manager for our
LMS. We have been using Captivate (SWF files) for several months to
show simulations for software. Generally we are quite happy with
the software.
We have been able to easily create a quiz (a Captivate
generated SWF file) and access it through the LMS (using a HTML
frameset), unfortunately we are having trouble passing the
numerical score the quiz generates to the LMS.
When a student takes a Captivate Quiz (bound into a SWF
file), the final score displays on the final frame of the SWF file,
but is not getting passed to the LMS. All the other data seems to
be fine. So far we are only viewing status using the Lesson
Progress Report, which indicates “no score (n/a)”. In
this case we are embedding the SWF file into a HTML page contained
in a frameset.
We have been able to get a score successfully passed to the
LMS if we link directly to the .swf file, bypassing HTML
altogether, unfortunately we also get a warning about using Flash
Player and multiple warnings about downloading the
“aicc_int.asp” file.
I have read through:
“Output Options in Captivate” by Andrew Chemey
(Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4)
“Exploring Quizzing in Macromedia Captivate” by
Mark Fletcher
“Integrating Captivate-Generated Learning Objects into
WBT Manager, Part 1 and 2” by Carol Fallon
Has anyone had this problem and solved it?
TPK

Please contact me at [email protected] I have many
examples of Captivate passing scores sucessfully back to WBT
Manager. So hopefully I can help you figure out what is going on.
