Change Quiz Buttons

Should be as simple as a nursery rhyme, but I can't make the
gray buttons go away on a quiz slide. If I go to a button's
properties and change it to an image button, scroll until I find
one approriately colored for my presentation and click OK, the
button shape/color changes. However, I need it to say Submit,
Clear, Back, etc. Since those buttons in my color are not in the
standard list, I think I have to create a transparent label and set
it on top of the colorful button.
1. The label won't go on top.
2. There has to be an easier way to do this. Should I be
deleting all the standard buttons and inserting a colorful image,
merging with the background, applying text, merging that, and
placing a transparent button over the lot of them? If so, how does
Clear work?

Hi all
If you do a bit of Googling, you can come up with some free
to use on-line button creator tools. Kevin Siegel's last Captivate
newsletter lists a site called
ButtonGenerator.com as
one to use.
Personally, I tend to opt for specialized software. Two of my
favorites are Xara WebStyle
Xara.com and Vista
Buttons
Vista-Buttons.com.

  • Changing quiz button text

    I am working on a series of tutorials and quizzes for our
    client, I want to change the text on the "Next" button on the
    quizzes. It appears easy enough, in the options, Next button text
    field, I have entered what I want, but it still appears as "Next"
    when I publish it. Am I an idiot?
    Please help.

    This may be a stupid question, but did you save the file
    before you published? I have sometimes had instances of not saving
    and publishing first and my changes are not reflected.
    Also, if the buttons were already on the screen with the text
    "Next" when you decided to change the button text, you'll need to
    delete those buttons and then add them again. The text does not
    update dynamically.
    Worst comes to worst, you can manually change the button text
    with a double-click or through properties...
    Hope that helps.

  • Can I change the language for quiz buttons and messages?

    Not sure if this has been covered but I have a Spanish ppt deck and need to make sure the quiz buttons and messages are in Spanish too, how can I do this, please?

    The style of the buttons can only be changed in the Object Style Manager (or using the Properties panel after inserting). But the labels on the button are in the Preferences. But you are correct, the Quiz Preferences are not available when a file is not open, excuse me, only the Recording preferences are there.
    So only the two other ways are possible not to have to repeat this action every time: either export/import the proper preferences from one file to another or use the template approach (which I'm always using, because I also want to have some advanced actions ready).
    Exporting Preferences can be done using the File, Export option. Templates cannot be created from a file in CP5.5 - is possible in CP6. But if you change the extension from cptx to cptl, you have a template.
    Again, very sorry for the confusion, Andy

  • Quiz Buttons Not Differentiating

    I had a file with perfectly useful quiz buttons that said and did everything they were supposed to. I made a change and regenerated a flash to upload and now all the quiz buttons have turned into transparent text buttons. No matter what I try to do in the object style manager I can only get ALL the quiz buttons to be the exact same thing, so if I choose an image for skip, all the buttons turn into skip buttons. I cannot fix this.

    Did you change your windows theme ? Try changing the theme to classic.

  • Retake Quiz button not resetting questions

    Hi all
    I have a quiz with 7 questions, all single-answer questions.
    When the quiz results are displayed, the Retake Quiz button is displayed if they have failed the quiz.
    Upon clicking Retake Quiz, it takes me back to the start of the quiz, however, the previous answers given have not been reset and the question is greyed out.
    I've been reading various posts on here, indicating that similar things are happening, however I couldn't find the reason with the quiz settings that I have:
    Quiz is set to Answer All.
    Quiz is set to Allow Backward Movement.
    Quiz is set to allow 100 attempts on the quiz.
    Quiz is set to display Retake Button.
    Each quiz question is set to allow 1 attempt.
    I thought that by increasing the number of attempts allowed on each question that this would solve it, but this just allows me to keep trying on each question until I hit the right answer, and does not seem to solve the problem.
    I'm really not sure as to why, when using the Retake Quiz button, it is not resetting the quiz.
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    regards
    Loraine

    Hi again
    I have now changed the settings in the quiz as per Lilybiri's suggestion. I now have the following quiz settings in place:
    Quiz is set to Required - the user must take the quiz to continue.
    Quiz is set to Allow Backward Movement.
    Quiz is set to allow 100 attempts on the quiz.
    Quiz is set to display Retake Button.
    Each quiz question is set to allow 1 attempt.
    Captivate 4  - AS 2.
    After answering all the quiz questions, and failing, and clicking Retake Quiz button, some of the answers remain greyed out. It will not let you click Reset and will then automatically move on to the next question slide.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it... sometimes the correct answer remains greyed out, and sometimes an incorrect answer remains greyed out. Sometimes when I click Retake Quiz none of the answers are greyed out, but then if i keep failing the quiz, the answers begin to appear greyed out. I have double-checked that i've set the number of attempts on the quiz to 100.
    I have also tried using the Back navigation button within a quiz, to go back and change my answer, but the answers remain greyed out, and pressing Reset makes no difference.
    It seems the only way I've managed to get a 'clean' retake at the quiz, is to exit from the e-learning, then go back in to it. But this is not going to be an acceptable method, when my company want to give learners the option to retake the quiz only if they fail, and not redo the whole package to get to the quiz at the end.

  • Audio feedback on quiz buttons

    Is there any way to add audio feedback to an automatically generated quiz button when it has been clicked e,g the submit button, undo button etc?
    I have put audio feedback on smart shape buttons via advanced actions but an advanced action cannot be assigned to the above buttons.
    Failing that is there a way to make a smart shape button into a submit button?
    Many thanks

    The embedded objects in quiz slides, those who have no separate timelines, are different from normal interactive objects. There is no real difference between normal buttons and shape buttons as you seem to tell at all, just between embedded buttons that have specific functionality and the normal buttons. There is no way to replace a quiz button by a shape button at this moment, but that wouldn't change the way they act.
    If you want audio, you can attach it to the feedback captions (Success, Failure) or put them in actions that are triggered by the Submit button: the Success and Last Attempt actions. More details:

  • Editing Submit All "Return to Quiz" button caption

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need to change the Submit All window's "Return to Quiz" button to "Return to Exam" but don't see where I can do it. Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I have solution for you.
    Close Adobe Captivate if you have it opened.
    Go to: Adobe Captivate/en-US/
    Back up files strings.txt and strings.zdct.
    Open strings.txt.
    Find text you want to change. Save the file. Make copy of it and rename it to strings.zdct which is placed in same folder.
    This solution works just for projects made from blank after doing this tutorial. It doesn´t work for your old projects sadly, even when you resave them.
    Here is test result with special characters working.

  • Continue / Retake Quiz buttons act differently when Publishing in SWF vs SWF/HTML5

    Hi, I use Captivate 7 and when I compare what I publish as SWF/HTML5 with SWF only it seems that there are 2 issues with the SWF/HTML5  site on Chrome (also on Safari)
    Issue 1
    I have 1 quiz on a course and I have set the Quiz setting to require a Pass to continue. I put the "Retake" Quiz button over the "Continue" button so it covers the continue if the person fails and will show the continue button only if the person passes. (I had also changed the Caption on the Continue button to say Print Certificate)
    This works when I publish the course as SWF only. When I publish as SWF/HTML5 and view on Chrome/Safari then when the person fail it seems that the "continue" button still shows and makes the "retake quiz button" transparent or behind the continue button. If the person passes then it works fine.
    Issue 2
    In the same example if click the "continue" button several time it the website continues even though the person had failed
    Not sure if anyone has found this an issue or has a better way for not making the Continue button to appear if the person has failed.
    My objective was that there was a Certificate document after the quiz and if the person passes then they can go get the Certificate. If they fail then they cannot go tto the next slide to get the certificate. Maybe there is a better way to do this ?
    thanks
    Hatim

    OMG, just checked it out and you are right: the Review button appears always on top of the Retake button. Please, log a bug report, will do as well. This is really very annoying because the terminology can be confusing,
    For SWF I found a workaround: change the stacking order in the Results Master slide, send the Review button Back. That seems to work. But for HTML5-output, no way... Review is always on top of Retake. I also played with unchecking, and rechecking but cannot find a solution.

  • Can Retake Quiz button take me to 3rd question slide of the project?

    Hi,
    I am happy to join this forum. I hope anyone of you answer my question.
    I am using captivate 4. I am not storing score onto any LMS.
    I am developing an e-learning course of 30 slides. First 20 slides are content slides. I have 2 question slides as 14th and 15th slides. I don't want these 2 questions be part of my main Quiz which starts from 21st onwards which has 10 question slides. The quiz result page has "Retake Quiz Button" which is taking to the 14th slide which I dont want. Actually Retake Quiz button should take me to 21st slide only.(..and all the question slides in my course showing "Question x of 12". But I want this to show "Question x of 10" only). Because I have used 2 question slides (14th and 15th) to check the user for better understanding.
    Can anyone help me out.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Manoharan.A

    Welcome to the forum,
    Each Captivate file, if you enable scoring will report a total score, in your case the score of the 'pre' questions and of the 'real' questions. Same with the progress (which you can disable).
    Since your pretest only has 2 slides, to achieve your goal without having to create multiple files (pretest or final test separated from the main course), I would propose not to use the default Question slides for the pre-test, but to create them using standard objects, variables and advanced actions. This is perfectly possible for the most Question types, so which type did you use for the pre-test: true/false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank...? Instead of reporting the score the usual way (they get stored in the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsScored), I would store the results of the pre-test in a variable.
    Both your issues will be solved: when retaking the Quiz, since only regular Question slides are considered as a Quiz, you will be taken to the first Question slide and the progress will be as you want it to be.
    If you want to go this way, and need more help, please post your questions. I did publish some articles on use of variables and advanced actions but examples were made with CP5 (principles are the same). Captiv8r (moderator of this forum) has a gooberguide about Advanced actions (for CP4) that could be of great help:

  • Possible to override the remotes "change audio" button?

    I'm creating a DVD that has multiple audio tracks for a single video track. I'm also programming in subtitles for the same track(French). The two audio tracks have different versions of dialogue. So, that means that I need two subtitle tracks – one for each audio. I understand how I can use stories and scripts to associate the proper subtitle track with the corresponding audio track,
    BUT
    my problem is this: it is necessary to allow the user to switch back and forth between the audio tracks whenever they want. So, if a French user is watching with subtitles on, and switches the audio using their remote mid-stream, then I need a way to change the subtitles to match the now-active audio.
    The best way I can think of to do this would be to hi-jack the functionality of the "change audio" button on the remote, and make it run a script that changes audio, then checks subtitle settings and changes them as well, if appropriate.
    Can this be done in DVDSP? I've found promising entries in the advanced connections display, but they don't respond to my initial attempts.
    Thanks for any help.
    Patrick

    Hey. Thanks. I hit a ton of pages searching, but missed that thread post. It's exactly the same problem. I suppose my only hope is, fingers-crossed, more DVD players support the targeted scripting of remote buttons these days???
    Well. I noticed there were several other programs mentioned in that thread, which I'm going to look up now, but it seems that this is a "supported by DVD players" problem rather than a "my program can't do that" problem.
    Something occurs to me. Is this a problem that could be circumvented by going to Blu-ray? DVD SP has a lot of buzz about supporting Blu-ray projects, would Blu-ray players be more likely to support this remote-based scripting???

  • Move/remove/change RSS button from next to refresh sign (Safari 4.0.4)

    How to move/remove/change RSS-button location from next to refresh sign as I'm wasting alot of time everytime when trying to hit that refresh button?
    I know I can use keyboard to refresh a webpage, but I really like the easy to use stop/refresh button a-la Firefox (after combining them) in the left side next to the "previous/next page" buttons, and I really hate that RSS appearing on all those websites which provides RSS. I don't use RSS and I don't want to see it when browsing and using Safari.
    I hope there is a way to doing that, otherwise I have no choice but switching back to Firefox..
    Thanks!

    Thanks Carolyn,
    but the "debug" menu doesn't appear after running "defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1" command in terminal. I have Safari 4.0.4
    But the idea is great: now I only want to disable RSS.

  • Get Info "Change All" button doesn't keep the proper "Open With" app

    I have a small but annoying problem that appears in Leopard 10.5.2 (been there since original 10.5.0 install) that I have tried to troubleshoot but can't solve.
    The problem is:
    -With some of my file types, the wrong "Open With" application is displayed when I view a Get Info for that file type. So to fix this, I open a Get Info window on one of those types of files, and choose the PROPER default application in the "Open With" slot. This works, and then the new proper application name now shows in that slot. So then I click the "Change All" button and apply to all files of that file type. I receive the warning that I will be changing ALL files of that type. I choose "continue" because that is what I desire.
    However, once I do that, (click Change All, then Continue button), the old, wrong application name jumps back the Open With slot! So the new, correct application choice doesn't "stick".
    Oddly enough, it sort of DOES work, because if I then re-click in the Open With slot, although the old, the wrong application is back listed again, if I look up above that name, then my actual desired application is listed in a list, and it has the word (Default) beside it.
    So if I do actually now double click any file of that type, then the proper application DOES launch and open the file.
    But why does the Get Info window still display the wrong, non-default application in Open With? And furthermore, this causes all file types of that kind, to display the WRONG icon in any Finder window. They of course display, the icon of what is in the Open With slot list.
    I am having this problem only with two file types and apps. (Cubase and Pro Tools---DAW audio apps). All of my Cubase files display a Pro Tools icon, and show as Open With: "Pro Tools" when of course it should display Open With: Cubase. As stated in the Open With list, Cubase is indeed there among other programs and it has the word (Default) beside it. So it sort of works when launching files. But I still cannot get Cubase to "stick" and stay in Open With after Change All!
    Can anyone offer any tips on what might cause this and what fix is needed?
    Thanks so much in advance!
    Wade

    Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
    Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
    But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
    And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
    It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
    Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.
    Wade
