CP6 -- Project stops at quiz slide
Hi
I am using CP 6.0.1.240.
I created a new sample project with 3 blank content slides and quiz slides of all types (one each). When I publish the project, the first three content slides play without any issues. But the first quiz slide (multiple choice) shows blank and I cannot proceed further.
I have deleted my preferences and tried this. But still same result.
Please advise.

Hi There,
Are you publishing your project locally on your machine or on shared/ network location ?
Have you tried to preview the project before publishing ? can you please confirm in which format you are publishing your project ?

Ajit

Publishing a project with Quiz slides in it
I am using Captivate 2. My project contains 6 quiz slides at
the end of the project. When I publish this project, and then view
the output, the whole project goes straight from slide 1 to the
last slide!!! If I remove the quiz slides and then publish, things
work fine. Has anyone faced this problem? Why am I unable to
publish and view projects with Quiz slides in it? I publish my
projects in the Exe mode.Hi dev_trainer and welcome to our community
This issue seems to have a familiar ring to it. Echoes from a
year or more back. I'm thinking that you may need to think about
upgrading the version of the Flash player used to present your
Captivate. First, check to see which version is installed. That's
easy enough to do. Just right-click the Captivate as it is playing
and check the version. Then try visiting the Adobe site and
upgrading. See if that solves the issue.

Review Quiz skips over the first quiz slide during the review.
I created a project with 2 quiz slides and a quiz results slide. When I review the quiz at the end of the project it rewinds to the first quiz slide but skips over it and then stops/pauses on the 2nd quiz slide (last slide in this case). I do not have a transition set for the quiz slides, and the "On Enter" setting is set to continue. The slide has an infinite number of attempts set for it and the Failure levels is 1. Report answers is set. I do not have the LMS reporting set up yet. I was going to use an internal server or perhaps Moodle if I can get that working.
StephenDid you remove any of the default captions from either of your quiz questions? If so, delete those quiz question slides and add new ones from scratch. Then test to see if the issue is resolved.

Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?
Hi,
I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool. The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens. You can't get off the quiz slide. The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!
LoriI was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
I can finally finish this project.
Good luck. -
Can you make buttons appear "on success" on quiz slide?
I'm not an expert Captivate user and don't know Javascript, so please excuse my ignorance if this question seems strange.
I have a Captivate 6 project with several quiz slides peppered throughout the entire file. In other words, the quiz slides are not grouped together. Each slide, including the quiz slides, has a forward button and a back button.
I would like for users to move forward and backward through the presentation in a linear fashion as they like, and this is working well. However, it would be nice if users weren't able to skip answering the quiz questions. I would like the buttons to appear after the user has answered the quiz question correctly, and then I would like the buttons to stay on the slide thereafter.
Is this possible? Do you have a Javascript resource I could use for the "on success" action, or what other solutions do you recommend?
Thank you!Hello,
When you are talking about the default buttons Back and Next that you find on question slides, you don't have much control over them. As you probably did see they do not even appear as separate objects on the timeline. And I doubt that Javascript could realize what you want.
Try first to understand how the work flow of question slides is designed:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
You can drag the Next button under the Clear button (see blog post), normally Next during a Quiz is not needed, since the second step (Press Y or click on the slide) will move to the next slide.
However the Back button is a more tricky button if you really want to have it. Maybe, didn't check it out, try to hide the back button to the user (make it transparent without a stroke) and have an image appear on top of that button after the first step on the question slide. The invisible Back under the image will remain active, it even has absolute priority over other objects.

Positioning quiz slide objects
I am working on a Captivate 5 project with many quiz slides. The quiz slides were put into the project by someone else. I need to move the various quiz slide objects (submit button, back button, clear button, question text, review area, hint caption, and so forth).
These objects need to be moved to the same position in all of the quiz slides. I've been moving these objects into place one by one and it is very tedious.
Is there a way to set up a style to move all of these objects on all quiz slides at once?Each of the objects you mention on the quiz slide are a special type of object in Captivate.
So although Object Styles do not allow you to specify the X and Y coordinates of an object, you CAN just move one of these objects on one slide to the location you want them all to be, and then go to the Position and Size accordion in the Properties tab (Transform accordion in Cp5.5), look for the small dropdown in the top right corner of the accordion, and choose the option to Apply to all items.
The name is a bit misleading because it make you think this will actually apply the positioning setting to every item in the project. But the fact is that it will only apply it to items OF THE SAME OBJECT TYPE. So although you would never do this for something like text captions in the main part of your project, you can safely do it for things like Submit, Clear, Back, and Next buttons in quiz slides because each of them are actually totally different object types as far as Captivate is concerned.
Note also the option to Apply to all items of same style. This means you can create custom styles and apply them to just certain buttons or captions if you only wanted SOME items to be positioned in a certain way, while all other items should retain their original positions. -
Quiz slides - editing button actions
All,
I have a Captivate 3 project with various quiz slides
throughout that act as section reviews. I was able to have the
submit button send users back to a ToC slide; however, I want the
same to happen when they click "Next" on the quiz slides (if they
just want to skip the review). Is there any way to edit individual
button actions on quiz slides?
AndyFYI - Captivate REALLY hates jumping around where scored
quizzes are concerned... it seems to expect each project to contain
a single scored quiz and it expects the user to complete that quiz
linearly. The "Allow backwards movement" option in the Quiz
preferences may allow things to work as expected, but I doubt the
user will be able to "retake" a section once it's been completed.
Captivate doesn't seem to like that, either.
If you continue to have problems jumping back to your TOC,
try breaking everything into individual projects and have your
links open the appropriate project to create your lesson flows.
Captivate has no problem randomly jumping between projects,
and doing so will also allow users to retake a section if desired.
PS - Since you've created your own TOC, I'm guessing you're
not reporting user results to an Learning Management System of some
sort. The "link between projects" approach is typically not an
option in an LMS environment since the LMS usually needs to launch
all files itself in order to create the necessary results reporting
interface. -
Adding automatic stops afer each slide in a recorded project
I have a project recorded as demonstration, but I want to
make it stop after each slide and advance only on user action. I
don't want to be adding any buttons or anything - I am content with
the playback control provided by captivate. I don't see any reason
creating my own secondary navigation,
I just want user to use Forward and Backward buttons from
Captivate Playback control to navigate between the slides - but the
movie keeps playing constantly.
Please, is there an easy way how to make all slides in a
project stop at end? Thank you!Hi Skippi.sk and welcome to our community
The only way to accomplish this is to insert either a click
box or a button on each slide. Probably the easiest way is using a
click box. object. Insert it on the first slide, size and position
as needed, then copy it. Then select slides two through the end and
paste the object.
Hopefully this helps... Rick -
Quiz slides inserted in project; subsequent slide has audio
Hi,
I inserted a couple of quiz slides, true/false and multiple choice, in between 2 regular slides that have audio. When I run my project, I see the quiz slide, but the audio plays as if the quiz slides are not there. In other words, the audio for the subsequent slide plays while the quiz slide is displayed. For example:
Slide 1 has audio
Slide 2 is quiz
Slide 3 is quiz
Slide 4 has audio
When I play, my audio goes from slide 1 to slide 4, while displaying slide 2
I know I must have some basic setting incorrect. My quiz slides are set to On Success - Continue. The surrounding slides are set to On Enter - Continue, On Exit - No Action.
Help!In Captivate you can insert audio on objects, on a single slide, and across multiple slides.
Is it possible that your audio has been inserted to span more than one slide instead of slide-by-slides?
If for example you had originally added your audio to a number of timed slides, and then inserted more slides in between, you may have confused Captivate as to where the audio needed to play.
I may be on the wrong track here but thought it worth suggesting. -
Advanced Action jumps Quiz slide pause point
Hello,
I have a project I have asked questions about in a previous discussion but as this is a new difficulty so I have started a new discussion.
The project in made up of only quiz slides and on each quiz slide there are:
1 - 4 text boxes that are controlled by advanced actions with ss set as buttons....this part is working great.
the quiz ...standard stuff
and audio ...not working
I created 2 groups and 1 ss set to function as a button. Group 1 has an arrow and says "Play Audio" Group 2 has a square and says "Stop Audio". On the first slide the action works great...just as I would like it to work. After answering the question you then continue to the next slide and the audio works for three clicks...click to play, click to stop and then if you click again the slide jumps the pause point on the question slide and none of the buttons work on the slide at all. It does not make a difference if you start the project form the beginning or from the middle, the problem is still the same. The first slide works just as it should and the second slide jumps the pause point and you are shut down and can not continue. I am not able to click the submit, answer the question...nothing. Any insight would be very much appreciated as once again, I am stuck. I am not sure if the problem is caused by the fact that it is a quiz slide and there is something about the quiz slide itself that is causing the problem. Or ... more likely, I am just missing something.
Thank you.
This is what the buttons look like.
Play Pause Action:
http://captivatecrazy.blogspot.ca/2012/09/play-and-pause-audio-using-advanced.html
Advanced Actions and Groups, this was so helpful!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Sy09xPoP69AYou didn't watch the other video? It was about playing audio as well...Have also a long blog post about possible scenarios to play/pause audio. It is different, because it is about a real pause, not about replaying an audio clip as in your example:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/toggle-shape-buttons
Question slides are a different beast, you have always to be very careful there. I blogged about buttons on question slides:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/want-a-button-on-question-slide-in-captivate
The question slide objects have highest priority. I should explore this more in depth, but my intuition tells me that perhaps clicking on your shape button triggers the action that is performed as second step on the Question slide (press Y or click on the slide). Does it happen before of after the user clicks the Submit button?

Help in stopping a 'busy' slide continuing
Hello
Am relatively new to this.
Am doing a slide which asks users a question (not a quiz slide though as not recording scores) and depending on which option they select it throws up a text caption telling them why that is the right or wrong answer and consequences of performing that particular option.
My problem is I can't stop the slide continuing after they have selected any of the options eg I want them to possibly click on other options too to see what info is thrown up on screen so as to spend as much time on the slide as possible. The only way I want them to progress to next slide is via the 'Next' button I have at bottom of slide
I have so far :
i) one big text caption at top of slide with the question
ii) four text captions A, B, C and D with the possible answers
iii) four click boxes covering the above text captions - properties set to 'pause project until user clicks' and a 'No Action' setting if user clicks outside of these
iv) four other text captions which are hidden and displayed depending on which option the user selects (the click boxes have a Show setting)
v) a 'Next' 'button at bottom - this is the only way I want the user to move to the next slide !
The only way I can see of getting this to work is to have the slide go on for 5 minutes or so !
So :-
1) basically does it sound as though I have missed a setting somewhere on one of click boxes or slide eg is the above possible ?
2) Is the only way to make the slide stay on to make it 5 minutes long or more !
3) is there a better way of doing this ??
Hope this makes sense !
Thanks in advanceHello,
If I did understand your question all right, this might work. I have been labeling some objects on slide 2 to make it easier to explain and to construct the advanced actions you will need:
labeled the Feedback captions (red Text Captions) A_Feedback, B_Feedback, C_Feedback, D_Feedback
labeled the click boxes over the black text boxes as CB_A, CB_B, CB_C and CB_D
I was wondering what the small click box in the top left corner was meant to do? I did delete it.
Then created one advanced actions for each of the labeled Click Boxes. I post a screenshot of the first of those actions A-action (the others are labeled B-action, C-action, D-action). It has these statements:
to show the right Feedback text, in this case A_Feedback
to hide the other 3 feedback captions, here B_Feedback, C_Feedback, D_Feedback - this is necessary because you asked the user to be able to click more than once on each caption, so if another caption is clicked the previous caption should disappear, am I right?
the last statement is to put the playhead one frame back, so that it wouldn't continue on the timeline
This A-action has to be attached to the click box CB_A
You can duplicate this action 3 times, and edit the duplicates so that you have B-action (you can edit the default action name); here you will have to change the object of two o the statements, the Show statement and one of the Hide statements. Create the 3 other actions this way and attach them to the corresponding Click box.
Try it out.

Quiz slide issues in Captivate 4
I am having functionality issues with quiz slides in Captivate 4. When taking the quiz, slides will randomly get stuck/grey out and the user has to click the back button and then go forward and the slide will then function correctly. This is not acceptable to the client, for obvious reasons. I have tried re-building the quiz slides (several times) and have also copied the entire project into a clean Captivate file. Nothing seems to make a difference and it is still completely random. I will preview the quiz over and over and sometimes it will work perfectly and then the next time it'll get stuck. This has only started occuring since I upgraded to Cp4. I have had to resort to not using Quiz slides at all and re-creating them with click boxes, but then I miss out on some of the needed functionality that the quiz slides provide (with feedback). I am pulling my hair out! Anyone else having trouble with this?
Hello all
I have been having the same issue and have spent a bunch of time with Adobe so this is what they sent me and so far my quizzes have been working and I have had no reports of any quiz's freezing up fingers crossed.
This is the latest corospondence from Adobe I have recived.. hope it helps..

Adobe Systems Incorporated
1.)Separate all of the different quiz type questions into separate pools
and pull random questions from each pool.
2.)Stop using the multiple choice slides with single correct answer only
as it defeats the usability of the quiz module in Captivate
3.)Verify that video card drivers are compatible with Windows XP.
If you still think that it is the problem with Adobe Captivate then
please perform the below mentioned steps;-
1.) Recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files.
Recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files to eliminate problems
that a damaged preferences file might cause.
To recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files:
1. Quit Adobe Captivate.
2. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Documents and

Captivate" folder to another location (for example, the Desktop).
3. Start Adobe Captivate. Adobe Captivate creates new preferences

Add buttons to quiz-slide? Captivate 7
Hi there,
I am really having a hard time trying to add buttons to a quiz-slide (fill in the blank).
Is it really true, that there is no work-around? All I need to do, is to use the smart shapes/ image buttons, to link to other slides in the project.
Anyone??
Thanks, in advance
//NiklasMaybe this blog post could help, because it is not always that easy to have
shape buttons on question/score slides. I encountered several small issues
and tried to figure out workarounds:

Random Quiz Slides not displaying in published files when on server
version 4.0
Output - swf\htm
Hello
Have been working on some elearning now locally for a while which combines straight slides then ends with random quiz slides.
Have published locally to c:\ drive and tested the swf\htm files and they play and display fine . However have now published the files to our organisations elearning server so everyone can access and played them back. All works fine till you get to the first random question slide - its just a green blank screen ! The green is the same as the skin I have on the project as a whole.
So basically the problem must be on the server. I have no idea what to try !!
thanks in advance
ps - just adding this bit, I meant to put it in quizzing forum but didn't . Can't see how to move it now
Also just tried adding a normal quiz slide and that displays fine - its when I am using the random quiz slides from a pool. Thanks
Message was edited by: marktkothanks for this - feel a bit thick now !
I had no idea they created separate files. That serves me right for not working in separate folders when I am testing and working in the root of the directory (with about 50 other cp files in it !)as I missed it.
Mystery solved - thanks again ! -
Added help button to quiz slide
I am trying to add a help button to a quiz slide. I would
like ti to pull up a slidelet or go to another slide with a image.
All my buttons and click boxes are disabled on question slides.
Any help would be appreciated.
-MarkHi Mark
I believe you could accomplish this as follows:
Create a blank Captivate project that is the same size as
your existing project. Create the slidelet as part of this project.
Define the rollover area and whatever else you need. Be sure to
pause the project so the slidelet will work without the playhead
just moving on.
Publish this as a .SWF. You may DE-Select the HTML check box
so all you end up with is the .SWF.
Open the project with the Question slide. Edit the Question
slide and click Insert > Animation. Browse to and select the
.SWF you just created. This should allow you to insert a Slidelet
on a Question slide.
Cheers... Rick
