Create drag n drop area in AC4

Hey guy!
I've installed AC4 and viewed some tutorial, but I can't find any solution for create drag and drop area.

For example: When I want to create above table in Excel and I want user can interactive with this table to select all cell which have value to calculate sum? Can I create interactive area and user may drag and drop in this area? It's very important to me because I want user can calculate everything in Excel, drag any thing (like Table, AP DIV, Form Element) in Dreamweaver or Drag form element in Netbeans.
Best regard.

Hello again, BinaryDigit.
I thought we need to apply Drag n drop API for this case.
Without wasting too much time,
I tried out as your source code from the previous reply,,,
Instead of getting it clearly, I got another Confusion... (pardon me)
Let me clarify this with the examples given,
I try to adopt previous source code
and it was this detail;
1) Taking the X and Y coordinate (from the mouseEvent) Plus jLabel1 coordinate (both X and Y).
2) Positioning a Coordinate taken to JLabel1
3) Passing the Coordinate taken to jLabelX, and jLabelY.
The problem found was;
if we make 3rd become comments, now the jLabel1
could works!
I mean, jLabel1 could be dragged to another Coordinate (by dragging it to another location)
But,
if we un-comments the 3rd source code,
The effect would be no movement of the jLabel1.
BinaryDigit, is this related to the layout you mentioned before?
Correct, DarrylBurke! :D
I thought also the same thing,
but setLocation() give me another Confusion....
the coordinate seems taking its basement as a reference.
I mean, the jLabel Coordinate's is referenced
from the panel where the jLabel is attached to,
rather than the Coordinate's of the base jFrame (main base -what should I call this?)
Sorry, the Details number three (3) is my preference, Since I wanted to see the X, Y movements also.

How can I allow a learner to review a created Drag and Drop Quiz to show the learner their incorrect/correct answers?

Captivate 8: I have created an assessment with two multiple choice question slides and eight drag and drop question slides. After the learner views their score, I would like them to be able to review all of their answers to see where errors were made. Currently, the review quiz only shows their answers and the correct answers for Multiple choice question slides. Ideally, I would like a review of the drag and drop question slides where the incorrect choices are outlined in red or something to this effect. I appreciate any insight and suggestions!

Sorry, D&D is not a normal question slide and I can only recommend logging a feature request. I would really like to be able to choose whether an interaction is reset or not, because this problem doesn't exist only for D&D but for all learning interactions as well.

Safari for Mac, webpage with Java applet, drag and drop area not working.

At my company, we have a web page that our users access to submit media files, (QuickTime, Audio, images...), for transcoding for delivery. The web page consists of a java applet, with an area that our users drag and drop media file into.
After updating to Safari 5.1.2, the applet will not work anymore. Instead, the browser will "open" the quicktime and play it, instead of allowing the Java Applet to do it's job.
CAN I TURN THIS FUNCTIONALITY OFF??
I read that Safari 5.1.2, (when it was initially released), broke something with the THEN current version of Java, and everyone was awaiting the latest update (build 1.6.0_29) to fix it. Unfortunately, this update did not fix my issue with the functionality of dragging and dropping media files into the web page.
It seems to me, as if, there is an over-arching functionality setting (or something) that needs to be either turned off, or in some other way DE-prioritized.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for quick reply and help. I am able to drag multiple files but this is giving problem in case of filename with spaces like "abc def.png". Can you please put some thoughts on this.

Is there a way to create drag and drop activities in Captivate 4?

Or in any version of Captivate for that matter?
I haven't see that there is that functionality, but maybe it is there and I didn't realize it.
Thanks!

Hello,
You can try to use the default Matching Question slide where dragging is possible.
If you want more functionalities, have a look at the interactive Drag&Drop widget by InfoSemantics (my fav) or the Dag&Drop Lite Question widget:

Adobe Presenter 10 Drag and Drop questions - only grey box when trying to create

Hi,
I try to create drag and drop questions in Presenter 10 and after clicking on Add Question -> Drag Drop, the new window opens but where I should be able to define the questions etc, the screen is just grey. Have the same issue on three other systems as well.
Flash is updated to latest version and so is Presenter 10.
Weirdly the installed Flash version is 15, but a right-click into the grey box shows me version 11.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Just in case someone else has the same problem, a chat with Adobe brought the solution:
On the gray screen, Right click and go to Global settings
Go to advanced tab
Scroll down and click "Trusted location settings"
On the "Trusted location settings" window, click "add" on the bottom
Click "Add Folder" and select "Local disk c"
Click "Ok" and Confirm on "Trusted location settings" window
Worked for me (on three different machines) like a charm!

Who'd like to test a new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget?

It's taken about 6 months of every spare minute we could find but we're finally ready to do a round of Alpha testing for our new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget for Cp4 and 5. This post is to ask for a handful of volunteers to test the new widget over the next week creating drag and drop interactions in both Cp4 and Cp5.
If you've already tried our well-known Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget, but were a bit frustrated by the limitations that the quiz question format placed on your creativity, we think you'll be blown away by what this new Interactive Widget can do. It does everything the current question widget does, aside from the aspects that are unique to question types (Review Area, Retake Quiz, etc) plus a whole lot more. Due to the extra functionality, this widget has twice as much code as our last one.
Some of the features:
You can have as many widgets as you want on a single slide and each can be addressing a different drag and drop scenario.
You can reference the same drag and target objects from different widgets to create different.
Since they are interactive widgets, you can use the widget success/failure criteria to trigger Advanced Actions. This opens up a lot of possibilities for game interactions.
You can score each widget differently so that OnSuccess they will each report different scores for dragging the same objects. This means you can have Conditional Scoring and more than one correct answer for a given problem.
You can set one of the widgets to have its Preferences be used for all widgets on the slide so that you don't need to set all widget preferences individually, thus saving a lot of time.
You can set Preference Priority for each widget to configure which widgets will have "right of way" if there is a potential conflict in preferences. For example, if one widget wants one type of snapping behaviour on an object but another widget wants the same object to snap differently, the widget with the higher Preference Priority will dominate.
You can nominate other interactive objects (including clickboxes or other widgets) to act as Submit button and Clear button to create a simulated quiz question.
Since this widget is an Interactive widget, it also has the same advanced Pausing override behaviours we built into our Event Handler widget (http://www.infosemantics.com.au/eventhandler) So you can have users stay on the same slide playing with the drag and drop interaction for as long as they like without progressing to the next slide until they want to.
Plus other stuff I can't think of right now.
If you decide to volunteer to participate in this Alpha testing, please don't use this widget for any production Captivate projects you may have. The Alpha and Beta versions of the widget will be time-bombed to stop working after a couple of weeks so that we don't have buggy versions running around later.
As I said at the beginning, we only need a handful of testers, we need people using either Cp4 or Cp5, and you need to do this testing over the next week so that we can then address any issues you find and release a debugged Beta version for more testing.
Anyone wanna play?
If you do want to volunteer, send me a private message on this forum with your email address so I can send you a widget and instructions. We'll only be taking the first dozen or so people that are willing to contribute time and feedback.
Cheers,
Rod Ward

Drag and Drop not being recorded properly.

I'm a fairly experienced Captivate user using version 3.0. I am trying to record some drag and drop activity in an Oracle application and I just can't get it to work. To be clear, I am NOT trying to create a drag and drop quiz question (so please don't tell me how to create drag and drop quiz questions, I already know how). I am trying to record the dragging of an icon from one area within the app to another (the actual visual drag). Whether I set the video to record full motion or trigger full motion recording with F9 (and stop it with F10), all I get is the initial click of the object and then the object after it has been set down in it's new location. The actual drag of the object isn't recorded. I checked my Flash player - it's version 9. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Hi there
First, I'd suggest performing what I call a simple "sanity check". This should reveal to you whether the issue is with Captivate generically or if it's just that Captivate has issues with this one application.
So try this. Open Captivate and minimize all apps. Then record dragging an icon from one location to another on your desktop. If Captivate doesn't record that properly, you have a Captivate issue. If it does, you know it's an issue with the application and the way it interacts with Captivate. In that case you need to consider other avenues. Perhaps use something like Camtasia Studio or Jing to capture, save as SWF and drop it where you need it in Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

Embedded drag and drop not working

Hi,
Hoping someone can help as have got 90% of the way through a project and hit a wall at the final (end-of-level-baddie) problem.
I'm currently embedding old AS2 activities (build by a second party - now not operating/contactable) into a new AS3 menu system.
Most of them I've managed to port across and embed without issue. Unfortunately embedding the drag and drop activity is proving to be, for want of a better phrase, a complete drag.
I've managed to decompile the code, so have put a few trace statements in to find out what might be going wrong. Looking in the collision detection part of the code, the problem appears to be that when the activity is embedded, although the index of the drag clip is returned fine with its corresponding index number, the index of the drop clip is returned as 'undefined'.
The activity works fine in a standalone flash player, with both indexes returning their respective numbers. However not so when it's embedded.
I'm guessing that this is a levels issue, but is there any easy way that I can force the AS2 drag and drop game to act as self-contained and ignore its parent holding clip?
Thanks in advance

Hi kglad,
Thanks for replying (you've helped me out before :-) )
A search of the classes reveals only one mention of getDepth() on a text field, which is irrelevant at the mo (as the engine's just creating image drag and drops)
The main activity stage is created by an EngineClass (which drives all the activities I've been adapting, but wasn't a problem with less layer critical ones).
There are three lines I can see where the activity stage is created using 'getNextHighestDepth()'
this.mWhere.createEmptyMovieClip("activity_mc", this.mWhere.getNextHighestDepth());
this.mWhere.createEmptyMovieClip("activityMask_mc", this.mWhere.getNextHighestDepth());
this.mWhere.createEmptyMovieClip("toolbars_mc", this.mWhere.getNextHighestDepth());
All the drags and drops are then created within this activity_mc. When I run the activity as standalone (where it works), and drag an item onto a drop zone, the traces I set up on the Drag and Drop items report back the following:
DragObject: _level0.activity_mc.container_mc.dropItem2.dropSkin.greyBorder.whiteBG
DropArea: _level0.activity_mc.container_mc.dropItem2.dropSkin.greyBorder
When I run it embedded in the AS2 wrapper it then fires back the following after an attempted drop:
DragObject: undefined
DropArea: undefined
...and the item refuses to drop on the dropzone, returning to where it came from.
The tiny amount of knowledge I have makes me (probably mistakenly) assume that if I could place the activity_mc layer on root, then everything would be contained within the embedded clip and the layering wouldn't go so wonky. But in reality I've got no idea! To make matters worse, the original drag and drop activity is itself inside another as2 wrapper which contains some navigation buttons...

AS2 Drag and Drop interactive exercise widget - Captivate 4

Hello,
I need an Actionscript 2 widget to create drag and drop exercises. Can anyone tell me where I can find a good one?
Thanks!

Is there a specific reason why you can't output your project to AS3?
If you can use AS3 there are two Infosemantics Drag and Drop widgets you can choose from.
I don't know of any drag and drop widgets in AS2.

How to add text to a drag and drop object

Hi everyone, I am quite a beginner with Flash so do excuse
me. First, I am not sure if what I want to achieve may actually be
impossible with Flash. I presently use MX 2004, but will shortly be
upgrading to CS3. But if you know the answer for MX 2004 that would
be really useful for now.
I am writing a digital fiction story, and I want to create
drag and drop objects. This I have managed to do. But I would like
these drag and drop objects to also reveal text when they are
actually pressed on. I have had no success so far in being able to
achieve the two effects together.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this? If, by chance, you
know the action script that would be great. If you can explain to
me in simple terms how I can achieve this I really would be
grateful.
Thanking you,
Mary

The script I posted would work on the main timeline - not in
the timeline of the clip itself.
So you made a movieclip out of the image and gave it the
instance name "myclip". That's good.
You edited that clip and added a dynamic text box with
instance name "mytext". Be careful not to confuse the "instance"
name of the text box with the "Var:" name. "myclip" should be the
instance name. Also be careful to make sure you uncheck the
"selectable" box. Edit your clip and click on the textbox to select
it and look in the properties panel. There should be a button with
Ab on it. If it is white background (highly likely), click it so it
is not white. If the text is selectable, it will interfere with
your button functions.
While there is nothing wrong with creating nested clips
within your movieclips, unless you plan to target them for
something, there is no benefit. The only thing that needs an
instance name inside the myclip is the textbox (based on what you
are trying to do).
You don't need any actionscript in the movieclip itself. If
you can learn to place all your AS on the root timeline, you will
be well ahead.
If you placed that AS inside the clip, Flash wouldn't know
what to do with it.
Technically you can place the AS inside the clip on the layer
you created but, if you did that, you would need to modify the
script to the following:
this.onPress = function() {
this.mytext.text = "stop pressing so hard";
startDrag(this);
this.onRelease = function() {
this.mytext.text = "";
stopDrag();

When i drag and drop an image on my site. it gives the following error. "Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follo"

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks kumars ,
I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
"(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

Implementing Drag and Drop

I would buy this product if the ajax features somehow
supported the implementaion of drag and drop in a way that was
simple to use.
I am dabbling in vb.net/asp.net and its version of ajax
tools. The support for drag and drop are not all that good at this
time.
I have even bought a book that had a chapter on it. It still
takes too much java hand written code to impliment it.
I also own dreamweaver MX. I use this product to do all my
web sites. They all are home stuff and fun stuff. My wife wants her
site to have the user be able to grab an object and drop it on a
specific location and have an event occur. In her case she wants an
animated GIF to fire.
I have turned to vb.net because i am a programmer and use
vb.net for application development. But!!! i am excited about DW
cs3. So my question is!!
Does DW CS3 Ajax tools provide a somewhat easy way to
impliment drag and drop without me having to write to much Java by
hand?
Thanx up front

Drag and Drop interfaces in javascript are nothing simple.
Don't expect any
magic wizards to help you with this.
There are a lot of AJAX/JS libraries. Many have DnD featuers,
but they'll
differ from library to library. you're going ot have to do a
lot of legwork
and takea look at them all.
I've used Scriptaculous in the past, but have found it
limiting. I'm going
to be looking at Jquery UI next.

Java is not involved. JAVASCRIPT is.
DW does not do .net, so you you're going to do .net, you
should look at
Visual Studio as your main development IDE.

Drag and Drop Funcionality

I would like to build a web page that supports drag-and-drop functionality ... e.g. drag an image from one area of the page to another. I have read that JSF supports drag-and-drop and was looking for ways to implement this functionality using Java Studio Creator. So far I have not found anything in the tutorials, and when I search in these forums for "drag and drop" I get lots of descriptions of dragging-and-dropping components onto a page (i.e. building a page) but not implementing drag-and-drop functionality itself. Any tips on where to find this information is appreaciated.

Thanks for the link about dragging and dropping Swing objects.
Now I am stuck, because it seems the only kind of ojbects that can be dragged-and-dropped are java.awt.Component obects. All the cool objects from the Creator Palette are not java.awt.Component objects so it appears I cannot implement drag-and-drop for those?
The below works okay, because btn is a java.awt.Component object.
Button btn = new java.awt.Button();
dragSource.createDefaultDragGestureRecognizer( btn,
DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE, this);
But if instead of btn I try to use one of the objects from the Creator Palette (such as a Button which is of type com.sun.web.ui.component.Button) I get an error.
So then is there no way to implement drag-and-drop functionality with these cool new Creator GUI objects? Thanks.

Drag and drop questions in scjp

hi all,
i m planning to write scjp this month..
can anyone tell me what 'drag n drop' questions like?
and what kind of questions are generally asked?

Well you can't change your answer for the drag and drop i mean you can but if you try to go back and try to see your question again for drag and drop then your answer is going to be deleted and then you had to redo the whole thing.
So i suggest please make your decision at the same time. Drag and drop are not hard i mean something like this
System.out.printf("Pi is approxmicately", Math.PI);
Pi is approximately ______
Place the value for PI 3.14
3.145
Something like that Good luck

1. Resizing of column width. 2. Drag and drop of columns for resequencing

QUERY : Has anyone some experience in implementation/development of following functionality in a JSP/Tomcat server based application:
1. Resizing of column width for a result which has multiple columns. .2. Drag and drop of these columns or any other mechanism for re-sequencing the columns?
I would like to know will JSF would be helpful in it.

Amit,
The column resizing and 'drag and drop ' are client side issues. They requires DHTML and Javascript.
AJAX is what is required. (wiki AJAX for more info)
I am working on an AJAX grid and combobox component for JSF that will do this and many more functions.
Let me know if you want more information.
