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.

    I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to add a drag and drop interaction to a called image in a contaner?

    this forum is my last hope =( i know how to do drag and drop
    by itself, however right now i have my flash set up so that when
    you click BUTTON A, it does:
    on (release) {
    _root.gotoAndPlay ("photo1");
    once it goes to "photo1", on that frame, i wrote actions on
    the frame to:
    var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
    myMCL.loadClip ("images/heritageBrochureFront.png",
    "container_mc");
    stop();
    so it loads my picture into the container. my question, once
    the image it in the container, can i add drag and drop interaction
    to it? i would really love an easy solution.

    yes. there are a couple of ways to do this.
    one is the create a child movieclip of container_mc and load
    into that child and assign your onPress/startDrag
    onRelease/stopDrag methods to container_mc.
    a second way is to load into container_mc (like you're
    currently doing), wait until loading is complete (ie, use the
    onLoad method of an mcl listener) and then assign your methods to
    container_mc.

  • Drag and Drop Interaction Scoring

    Hi-
    I've created a drag and drop interaction for a quiz with four
    objects. Each object has to match up to the correct spot in order
    for the user to get the answer correct. I've done this type of
    interactions before successfully and not had a problem with
    scoring.
    But this time .. the only thing I can see that's different
    about this quiz is that I'm not assigning any points in the "Score"
    field - I am instead using the Status of Correct Response alone.
    I've found that this interaction scoring works perfectly for my
    other quiz interactions but there seems to be a problem with the
    drag and drop - when the user moves the objects around and
    temporarily places an object in the wrong (or maybe even correct)
    spot, each of these movements is being racked up as correct in this
    interaction So, if there's an ambivalent user they're going to get
    many more points than is even supposed to be possible.
    I can't see anything different that I've done with this
    interaction other than the scoring. I changed to correct response
    scoring because it was the only way I could figure out how to reset
    the quiz score after the user leaves and comes back. (using
    TotalCorrect)
    Anyway, I'm open to ideas - even if it's not the scoring -
    any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks -
    Cammia

    Don't use the quiz knowledge objects and code yourself...?
    You'll find many on here who can help you with hand coding
    and probably none
    who know much about implementing those KO's who can answer
    questions. The
    reason is if you know enough to be able to answer questions,
    you know enough
    to know that these KO's are a short term crutch that cause
    long term
    problems.

  • 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.

  • Drag and Drop Interaction Behavior

    Hope someone can shed some light on this. Here is the setup:
    Slide 10 upon successful drag and drop
          assign variable AnswerCorrect to 1, go to next slide
         If the drag and drop fails after 3 tries it goes to the next slide
    Slide 11 - on enter
         Conditional action (I am using this to skip a dialogue box which is hidden if the previous slide had a correct answer). There is also a "continue" button at this point which is not currently hidden. Essentially I want to skip both the dialogue and continue if the previous answer was correct.
              If AnswerCorrect = 1
              Assign PlayHeadPosition (user variable) = to cpInfoCurrentFrame + 30 (I want to position the playhead 3 seconds into the slide)
              Assign cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume = PlayHeadPosition
              Assign AnswerCorrect to 0
              Else continue
    My project is skipping to slide 12 on the execution of this. I think it may have something to do with the cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume defaulting to a -1 which would put it at the end of slide 10 again plus the value of PlayHeadPosition.
    Note that slide 11 does have another drag and drop interaction on it and I have the objects for the whole slide.
    Thank you in advance everyone!

    No dice, even slowing the FPS down to the min of 10 I can't see if it is jumping back and forth... The 2nd drag and drop on slide 11 isn't paused until 7.5 seconds into the slide so it isn't that being skipped either.I am completely stumped on this one.
    I have narrowed it down a bit. This is the on enter for slide 11. If I change the first line of the action to just display a text box on the slide it works as expected. Even with cpInfoCurrentFrame being offset by the initial -1 I would have expected it to set the playhead at 2.9 seconds into this slide??

  • 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...

  • 1 Success Caption for Multiple Targets in a Drag and Drop Interaction

    I see how I can add success captions to each target in a drag and drop interaction, but can you apply only 1 success caption multiple targets?

    The boundaries of smartshapes were overlapping with each other. For example, the smartshape on 1st line was overlapping with the one on 2nd line. Due to this, every time you place the text caption "Investment" on the smartshape on 2nd line, it automatically moved to the smartshape on 1st line. As a result, you could never get the answer right, and hence you never saw the Success Caption.
    Solution: Move the smartshapes away from each other (or resize them), and ensure that there are no overlaps.
    2,  The number of attempts for this interaction was set to Infinite. So, you have to play this until you get it right, but you could not get it right because of the reasons mention above. That is why you never saw the Failure Caption.
    Solution: Clear the Infinite check box in the Action accordion and specify the required number of attempts. You will get the Failure Caption if you don't get it right in those attempts.
    I just tested these solutions and they worked fine. Let me know if you still face any issues.

  • On Reject caption not appearing in Drag and Drop interaction

    Hi
    I am playing around with drag and drop interaction to understand its functionality.
    I noticed that we can set Accept, Reject, and Hint captions to individual drop targets. When I tested it, I got the Accept and Hint captions as expected. But I am not getting the Reject caption even when I place the wrong source on the target.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Sreekanth

    Hi there,
    Reject caption shows up when an unacceptable source is dropped on a Target. To configure the 'Accept criteria', select a drop target, Click on the 'Accept' button, Deselect the checkbox corresponding to the unacceptable source. (As shown below)
    Now whenever the user drops 'Unaccept' source on top of the target, the 'Reject' caption shows up.
    Thanks,
    Nimmy Sukumaran.

  • 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.

  • Partial Credit in Drag and Drop Interaction

    Is it possible to capture the number of correct answers in a drag and drop interaction and then use that to trigger point to determine whether to branch into a remediation section or not?

    Yes you can achieve this.
    Create a variable and increment it for every correct answer placed on the target using advanced actions.
    On both Success and Failure conditions, assign a conditional action to check the variable value and redirect the user to remediation slides and continue further as required.

  • 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.
