Continue button on Quiz Results Slide not working Captivate 7
I have the Quiz Settings set to Continue when the user passes the quiz. However, when the user clicks the Continue button on the Quiz Results Slide, nothing happens. I want the user to be able to continue to the next (and final!) slide in the project. The timing for the Quiz Results slide is set to be active for 7 seconds. Umm, suggestions for a fix? Thanks. This problem has been driving me nuts since I'm so close to finishing!
I changed the timing on the results slide back down to being active for 1.5 seconds so that's what will show up in the screen shot below. I also included a screen shot for the Pass/Fail settings. Thanks.

Continue Button on Quiz Results Slide NOT Working Properly
I'm experiencing a functionality issue with the "Continue"
button on the Quiz Results slide:
Situation 1: After initially completing the quiz, I need to
click the "Continue" button on the Quiz Results slide only once to
advance to the next (and last) slide in the quiz movie. This is
fine & works as I would expect.
Situation 2: After initially completing the quiz, if instead
I choose to review the quiz, later when I get to the Quiz Results
slide, I need to click the "Continue" button TWICE to advance to
the next (and last) slide in the quiz movie. This does NOT work as
I would expect.
Any idea why only 1 click is needed in the Situation 1 while
2 clicks are needed in Situation 2? Any way to fix Situation 2 so
that only 1 click is needed?
Thanks much!CapManZ,
Whether the Continue button on the Quiz Results slide
requires one or two clicks is mysterious indeed. See
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=464&threadid =1302278
for another discussion about its misbehavor.
Actually, the number of clicks required depends on how long
you wait after the Quiz Results slide appears, prior to clicking
the Continue button. In your situation 1 you probably answered
questions rather than using the skip button, so you viewed the
question slides for a while prior to arriving at results. In your
situation 2 you probably used the Skip button to zip through the
slides to return to the results screen. Try this. In situation 2,
when you get to the Quiz Results slide, instead of clicking the
Continue button, go get a cuppa joe and then see if a single click
will work. If so please let me know.
I've experimented with a Captivate 2 multiple choice quiz in
a slide show that contained only 10 questions and the Results
slide. I added a text caption with fade in and fade out enabled
(the default) to the Results slide. I found that after the caption
fades in, one click on the continue button advances the slide. So I
used the caption's appearance to help measure the timing.
In the tests below I skipped as rapidly as possible, pausing
at various slides to see how it affected the single click
threshold.
Skip all slides: 28 sec
View slide 1 for 60 sec and then skip: 28 sec
Skip to slide 5, pause 30 sec, and then skip: 13 sec
Skip to slide 10, pause 30 sec, and then skip: 2-3 sec
Answer each slide (took more than 30 sec): 2-3 sec
Skip all slides, click Continue as fast as possible: 2-3 sec
I also reduced the number of question slides in the quiz and
skipped all slides.
7 questions: 18 sec
3 questions: 7 sec
I believe the threshold value (the duration required before
clicking the Continue button advances to the next slide) is
composed of two durations which add together to determine the
threshold. The Result's slide's timeline probably sets the
threshold's lower limit. Clicks prior to 3 seconds are ignored.
Time per slide and number of slides left to go sets the upper limit
for the threshold. The slower the movement, the lower the
threshold.
Several conclusions:
This probably isn't a situation in which the first click is
ignored. Instead the first click reduces the threshold's value to
the lower limit. The second click would then typically occur after
3 additional seconds, particularly if the user is surprised that
the first click didn't work and pauses slightly. A very fast
additional click on the Continue button is ignored as well.
Long quizzes will cause more complaints about the issue
because of what you experienced. It typically takes longer to
answer the quiz than review it.
Perhaps there's a workaround that would alert the user that
the Continue button is ready for clicking. I'm thinking that since
the text caption fade-in coincides with being ready to continue, an
image or the like might do the trick. Any suggestions out there?
Humm, a better alternative might be to show some images of
snacks on the results slide background. Through suggestive selling,
the user realizes it's time for a break and clicks Continue after
returning with that cuppa joe. And the sound you hear? It's the
Captivate developers giggling if they read my conclusions. Too bad
they're mum, since some real info might make it easier to make
Captivate behave. Ah well.

Continue button on Quiz Result slide not working
Hi,
I really hope there's something easy I'm missing here. I've
created a quiz with 25 questions. I don't have it reporting to an
LMS, but I do have a quiz results slide. If the student gets a
passing grade, I've set the Continue button to go to the next slide
(where they get a congrats message and can print a certificate).
I'm publishing it as an SWF file. When I take the quiz and pass it,
the Continue button doesn't work. The way it is now, students are
stuck at the end of the quiz. Any ideas?Hi J
Sorry that didn't seem to work for you. Hopefully someone
else will see it and maybe chime in with a suggestion.
Until that happens, you (as well as anyone else seeing this
behavior) should report it to Adobe as a bug.

Continue button on Quiz Results slide not working...
Hi there,
Having some significant difficulties in Captivate 3 recently
- but this one appears to be a deal breaker...
The continue button which appears at the bottom of the quiz
results page doesn't work - as in, it doesn't do a thing even
though in preferences I've set pass/fail preference for it to jump
to different slides depending on success or failure. I have tried,
literally, everything I can think of but it refuses to work.
Anyone got any suggestions? I would be over the moon if I
could get this working.
Thanks in advance.

Can we remove the Continue button from Quiz Results?
Hi Everyone,
Is there any way to remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page?
I have a captivate file in which there is a Thank you slide at the end after the Quiz results slide. Now, here's the problem - The user is just finishing the quiz and closing the browser tab - which is not showing the completion status inside LMS. The user must need to view the Thank you slide - so that the LMS can respond as "Completed" status.
Now, I want to remove the Continue button on Quizzes result slide so that user doesnot need to go ahead to next slide to complete the course. And i will put the Thank You message here in Quizzes result slide only.
Can I remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page so that it can be the last slide?
Regards
Vikas SharmaRemoving the Continue button from the Quiz Results slide is NOT a good idea in my experience. Clicking the Continue button triggers functions in Captivate to terminate the quiz and commit the score to the LMS. If this button is not clicked, Captivate may not be sure the person has decided they're done with the quiz and wants their score to be captured by the LMS at that point. There are often other buttons on the Quiz Results slide to offer the user the option of Retaking or Reviewing the Quiz. Only the Continue button is designed to take them further beyond the Quiz Result slide.
Like yourself, I have also found learners often fail to grasp the importance of the Continue button and don't realise they need to do something extra (beyond reaching the Quiz Results slide) in order for their score to be captured. So what I usually do is rename the Continue button to something more meaningful such as: Register Your Score, or Record Quiz Results Now. Having a name like this (and making the button nice and large and bold so that it's not easy to miss) clearly tells people that they need to click this button if they want their score to be retained. It's just a simple change, but it practically eliminated all issues we had with people just closing down their browser when they saw the Quiz Results. -
CP5 and Continue button on quiz results
Is there a way to delay the appearance of the continue button? We have a submit quiz results button on the screen too that they are instructed to select first, but I'm sure some impatient person will hit continue before vCP5 can complete sending the popup for the student to complete to send the results.
SusanThe buttons on the Quiz Results slide are on hidden layers that you cannot reorder via the timeline. These layers are above any other object that you add to the slide (e.g. a highlight box intended to hide the button until you want it seen).
I often hide the Review Quiz button underneath the Retake Quiz button on my projects so that the user has to pass the quiz before they can Review the Quiz. This works because the Retake Quiz button seems to be on the very top layer.
From what I see, the order is:
Retake Quiz - very top
Review Quiz - second from top
Continue - third from top
Unfortunately this may not help you much unless you want to force all users to Review the Quiz and exit the course another way.
You cannot add other interactive objects like buttons or clickboxes or interactive widgets to the Quiz Results slide. But you can add Static Widgets. So in theory you could make the Continue button invisible by moving it off stage or turning it into a transparent button and then use the Static Widget button that comes with Cp to move beyond the Quiz Results slide. Even though it's only a Static Widget this button still allows you to execute one of the standard actions normally reserved for Interactive objects. -
Continue button in Quiz Results not working.
On the Quiz Results page, if someone clicks the Continue button, it does nothing no matter pass or fail. I have these settings:
Slides 55 and 44 do exist. Any ideas?Hi RodWard,
Okay, your question was helpful in that it helped me find some things out. First, continue works if passed, it just takes 5-7 seconds to get there. I fixed that.
Changing the Required to "Answer All" instead of "Pass Required" fixed the Continue on the fail. Thanks so much! -
Captivate 5.5 Buttons and Jump To Slide Not Working
I have a home slide where users can choose from 10 state-specific training options. There are 178 slides in the total presentation. When I open the presentation fresh a couple of the buttons work and jump to the correct state. One button jumps to a different slide than what is defined and the rest of the buttons do not work at all. If I select one of the buttons that works then return to the beginning of the presentation all the buttons work fine. The problem occurs when I open a fresh copy of the published presentation from my hard drive. The buttons are all active and there is no click box on the slide - you need to click on one of the state buttons to continue past the initial slide. I cannot understand why this is not working or why everything works fine when I return to the home slide from somewhere else in the presentation. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi there
Buttons may seem a bit hit and miss and may be daunting with all the Active VS Inactive timeline bits and all. But I've really never known them to totally fail or be all that random.
Things to consider with Buttons.
What does the button do?
As I explained in my earlier reply, if a button is programmed to jump to a slide a lot farther down the track, and that portion of the track hasn't yet arrived from the server, this could well be an issue.
Another thing that can affect whether a button operates as you wish is if you are trying to jump to a slide that is beyond a Question slide (or a slide being treated as a Quiz slide) and your Quiz settings are configured so that each question must be answered before you may proceed. Captivate will disallow visiting a slide beyond the first unanswered question.
Sometimes a Button is configured to open a URL or a file. And it works fine during preview within Captivate, but fails after you publish. This is most often an issue with Flash Security Settings blocking the action and is described at the link below:

Hopefully this sheds some light on the situation.

Continue button after failure result
Hello,
I want to set the quiz to make the student review the course before retaking the quiz, so I have
set off the 'retake quiz' button,
set the "failure" setting to jump to slide starting the course.
So, continue button on the results slide jumps to the start of course (rather than start of quiz).
And I have given 3 attempts.
But when I test this, the clicking the continue button only works on the first two failures.
I have to click "rewind" on the third attempt in order to get to the quiz for the 3rd attempt.
Any ideas why this is? or what to fix?
Thanks,
DeniseHi there,
Please try the following work around and let us know it worked for you.
Workaround 1:
1. Enable 'Retake Quiz' button from Edit>Preferences>Quiz>Pass or Fail.
2. Go to the Result Slide, Place the 'Retake Quiz ‘button in top of the Continue button.
Now whenever the user fails in the Quiz, 'Retake Quiz' button will take the precedence and allows the User to retake the Quiz, and once when the User passes the Quiz 'Retake Quiz' button will disappear and the 'Continue' button will display on the slide.
Workaround 2
Otherwise try inserting a slide after the Result Slide with Two buttons(Retake and Continue), Write a small Script(to show and hide the Continue and Retake button whenever user passes and fails the Quiz) and set it as the slide's 'On Enter' action.

It will not let me edit the quiz result slides length.
I need to edit the length of time that the quiz results page is on the screen. It will not let me edit it. Also the continue button does not work.
The Quiz Results slide will always pause and there's no way to prevent that. Look at its timeline and you can see a faint vertical line that indicates the pause point. You can use your mouse to move this sideways and delay the pause untill objects enter the timeline. But the rest of the slide beyond that pause point will only play once you click the Continue button. If you have set a very long duration for the Quiz Results slide, then once you click Continue, what you see as the Continue button not working could just be the timeline continuing to play until it reaches the end of the slide. Watch the scrub bar on the playback bar to see if it's moving.
Once the slide is paused the user has to click one of the buttons on that slide to move elsewhere. If your Continue button is not working, the usual reason is that you have the Quiz > Settings > Required option set to something that will prevent the learner from moving beyond the Quiz Results slide until they fulfil some kind of requirement (e.g. answer all questions or pass the quiz). So check that setting. -
How do I stop background fading on Quiz Results slide
Hi
I'm using Captivate 6 and having a whole heap of problems creating a quiz using question pools. First one - how do I stop the background fading away on the Quiz results slide? The background is from a master slide and the results slide has the settings in the screenshot attached
I've tried moving changing the length on the timeline, but this then makes the Continue button unclickable for ages. The background fades once it is clickable in Preview mode (see screenshot below)Hello,
Please go that Master Slide and click on that image and under Properties Inspector check the "Transition" option
It should not be "Fade In" or "Fade Out", it should be "No Transition" :
Hope this helps !!
Thanks,

Provide feedback button in quiz score slide
Hi we have created a training using adobe captivate 6. We have kept a final quiz containing 5 questions. At the end there is a score slide. In case of passing of the quiz we want a button called feedback to appear. The button needs to be hyperlinked to a url. How can we do this?
cpQuizInfoPassPercent has the required percentage for passing, whereas cpQuizInfoPassFail can have only two possible values: 0 if failed, 1 if passed. So your condition will never result in true. The explanation of the system variables appears in the Variables dialog box, check them out.
I'm using the normal language of conditions: THEN is in the same view of the dialog box for actions, second portion, whereas for Else you have to click on the Else button.
The Pass/Fail actions for the Quiz you specify in the Quiz Preferences will only be done when the user clicks on the Continue button on the score slide. Because you asked for the button when entering the score slide, I proposed this work flow.
Some functionalities are extended in CP6, will certainly blog about it to compare with what I wrote for previous versions here:

Custom success and failure messages on quiz results slide
I'm trying to create a custom success and failure message on the quiz results slide, using certain colours in the text caption to reflect our company's brand. So I've added an advanced action on entering the slide so that if the quiz percentage is 80% or more, the success message shows, and the failure message hides. It seems that this should work, but for some reason, only the failure message displays, regardless of whether I fail or pass. Has anyone else tried this with any success?
Thanks for your help!I've changed the retake and continue buttons to image buttons, then added my custom success and failure captions which I've named 'fail_f' and 'pass_f':
And here is my advanced action on entering the quiz results slide:
The hide-button, is a white rectangle that I added so that I could place it over the retake button if they passed the quiz successfully. -
CP5: Scoring and Quiz Result Slides for Selected Questions
Hello World,
I am trying to create a course that has several "knowledge checks" that don't need to be scored or tracked, and then a 10 question quiz at the end that needs to be scored and tracked.
Does anyone know of a way to separate those two elements so that the Quiz Results slide does not include any of my "knowledge check" data and just gives the user details of the 10 question quiz? I would also like to use the progress bar, but only for the final 10 questions.
Alternatively, if the quiz result screen separated out the results of the knowledge checks from the quiz, that would work as well.
Thanks,
GrahamHello,
If you use the Question slides that come with Captivate, all the slides will be added to the total score because you can only have one Quiz in a CP-file.
Some ideas: you could set the score of the first (not te be tracked) slides to 0, or if possible change the questions from scored to survey (will not be scored).
If by Progress you mean the indication 'Question X of Y', there you will need to make your own counters, with user variables and advanced actions. If you want to have total control of your question slides you could create the first bunch of questions yourself and only use the default Question slides for the real last Quiz. Just published a blog post today with some links to articles about customizing Quizzes. Feel free to check it:

Slider not working around 50% of the time.
Hello,
Slider not working around 50% of the time when I get a call. I hit the sleep button and home button several times and then it works.
I've done the soft reset several times. I've restored settings completely 2 times.
the screen is clean, my hands are clean, the wifi is off, the phone has not been dropped, it only happens when receiving a call and never happens when I'm just turing it on to access the menu. Bluetooth is off as well.
Any ideas?this happened to me a week or so after buying my iPhone. Fixed it with a reboot... Simul holding home and on/off until apple appears on the screen . Been working for axweek ok now.
