Creating a multiple choice quiz with rollover answers

Hello, I am trying to create a multiple choice quiz question where the answer does not appear until the user mouses over the appropriate letter. I have been working on the multiple choice question slide for Captivate, but it appears I can only use text captions with static text. If anyone knows of a workaround, or a way to add multiple choice question functionality to a blank slide I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks I see the pictures now. That helps a lot. You have a great writeup on the advanced actions to make this work so I think I'll be good with that portion. I do have a couple of stylistic questions though:
Unfortunately, having any sort of highlight color will not work with the theme I need to use. Do you know how to remove highlighting, or make it transparent?
I have three questions, and was able to get the three choice bubbles lined up by reshaping the widget. Do you know of any way to increase/decrease space between the selection bubbles without reshaping the widget? I'm concerned that when we review the course the project sponsor may ask for spacing that I can not create by reshaping the widget.

Multiple Choice Quiz with all possible answers weighted

I am currently trying to create a multiple choice quiz with 29 questions nin captivate 5.5. Every question will have 4 answers similar to those on a standard survey (Strongly agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Diagree.) Dependent on the answer given I would like each answer to have a weighted value between 1-4 to give a final score which will be sectioned into 3 categories. I am able to weight a question but can't figure out how I can weight all answers per question. Any help would be grealy appreciated

Hello and welcome to the forum
You created custom question slides, I suppose? How familiar are you with advanced actions and variables? I published some articles and blog a lot about them. Here you'll find a list with articles, think that the first 1 of them could give you an idea how to proceed. Can you read them, and later I will try to help you if you are stuck. Will need some more details in that case about 'how I can weight all answers per question.' Moreover, do you want to report to a LMS or is the conclusion about the final score to provide feedback to the user?

Keynote and multiple choice quizes

Does anyone know of a way to create a multiple-choice quiz with Keynote?
What I mean is, can you create links from a question page (with video and text) with 4 options and then create pages responding to the users' choice...correct or incorrect... then move onto the next question page etc...?
Is there a way to use the Hyperlinks function in Keynote for this purpose?
I plan to export to iDVD and have an interactive quiz DVD...
I remember doing something similar a while back with Powerpoint.
I like to push the boundaries and see what can be squeezed out of a piece of software...

Sorry for the late response...
What do you mean by "I'm just saving them on my computer". Do you open the PDF with some application (which one?) and then do a save from that application?
You can send your PDF (with the missing border) to [email protected] with a reference to this post and I can have a look at it.

Is it possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers?

Hello forum,
I am using Captivate version 6.1.0.319 on a Windows 7 desktop PC and would like to know if it is possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers. I am working on a project that uses the "Require Right to Left composer" within the Global Preferences: General settings. The captions has been switched from left to right but the quiz answer radio buttons did not. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I'm not aware of such a possibility. A workaround could be to create your own MCQ slides, using standard objects and widgets like the radiobuttons widget (there is an enhanced version created by Jim Leichliter) and advanced actions. These articles were written for previous versions, but can give you an idea about the work involved:

Question about Multiple Choice Quiz

I have multiple choice quiz that I'd like make more complex. The quiz is based on a movie clip with a series of questions on different frames and the same set of answer buttons on each frame (no keyframes on the answer button layer). The user clicks a button to go from one question to the next. There’s a scoring mechanism that displays the number of correct answers (score), the total number of answers clicked (right or wrong), and the percentage of right answers.
For each question, only the first answer counts toward the score. If you click correctly the first time, a point is added to the score and to the total. If you click incorrectly the first time, a point is added to the total only. After you give the first answer, right or wrong, you can still click on all the answers to see which answer was correct; the correct answer button changes in appearance and the correct sound cue plays but no point is added to the score or total. If you click on a wrong answer after you’ve given the first answer, the incorrect sound cue plays but no point is added to the total. In other words, you can’t help or hurt your score after clicking on the first answer, but you can determine which answer was correct.
This all works fine.
But now I want to make a similar exercise that has TWO questions on each frame. The answers both come from the same set of answer buttons. The question is how to preserve the “only the first click counts” mechanism for each of the two answers, since clicking on the answer to the first question will mark the frame as “answer has been given” and prevent any further scoring. There needs to be a point given for each correct answer on the frame.
Here’s the code from an answer button in the existing quiz. How would I modify this to allow for two answers per frame?
on (press) {
                /* This code executes whether this is the first click on the answer button or a subsequent click. If the answer is correct (if this is frame 1 or 3), the correct sound cue plays and the answer button changes its appearance, and if the answer is incorrect (if this is any other frame), the incorrect sound cue plays */
                if (_currentframe == 1){
                        _parent.snd_obj.playsound("correct", "cue1");
                        answer1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
                }else if (_currentframe == 3){
                        _parent.snd_obj.playsound("correct", "cue1");
                        answer1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
                }else{
                        _parent.snd_obj.playsound("incorrect", "cue2");
                /* This code executes only if this is the first click on the answer button. It checks to see if an answer has been clicked in this frame, and if not, it marks the answer as given (so this code will be executed only once) and then adds one point to the total, one point to the score for correct answers, and re-calculates the percentage */
                if (!_parent.answerGiven[_currentframe]) {
                        _parent.answerGiven[_currentframe] = true;
                        _parent.total = _parent.total + 1;
                        _parent.percent = Math.round((_parent.score / _parent.total) * 100);
                       if (_currentframe == 1){
                               answer1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
                               _parent.score = _parent.score + 1;
                               _parent.percent = Math.round((_parent.score / _parent.total) * 100);
                      }else if (_currentframe == 3){
                           answer1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
                           _parent.score = _parent.score + 1;
                           _parent.percent = Math.round((_parent.score / _parent.total) * 100);
                       }else{
                           _parent.snd_obj.playsound("incorrect", "cue2");

This is indeed a very random issue. I have seen this in earlier versions of Captivate as well. I always create my template files from the blank theme, so I don't think it is specific to the theme.
As for solutions, sometimes changing the quality of slide to high worked, other times just reopening Captivate worked. Here are some of the solutions I have found on these forums:
1. Create one more answer than I need (ie for a 4 answer question, create 5 answers) and then delete answer B.
2. Uninstalled/reinstalled my Captivate 6 software

Multiple Choice Quiz issues

Hello
I just build a multiple choice quiz using Captivate 3. The
quiz have3 right answers. I set it up so that the user has infinite
number of attempts. However after the first try I can try the quiz
again.
Has anyone experienced this problem. If it's not fixable, my
project is doomed.

Can you restate the problem you're having? Is it that you can
NOT try the quiz again?
Otherwise, from what you wrote, it doesn't sound like there's
a problem...

Adobe Captivate - Multiple Choice Quiz Question - Radio Button and Text Alignment

I have created a quiz with multiple choice questions.
No matter what I do I cannot align the radio button and the text for the choices (see below).
I would like to align the center of the radio button with the center of the letter A) and B).
I have tried every option that I can think of in the Properties options.
Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply.
Previously I tried several different combinations of fonts and font sizes, but didn't see any change.
Does anyone else know of anything else that could effect this situation?

Creating Single/Multiple Form(s) With Spry Tabbed System

I hope I'm in the right area:
I would like to know if anyone has any success with create a multiple form or a single form with a Spry tabbed system?
The project I'm doing requires an ordering system with the use of Spry tabs and I'm not sure if it will work. I'm familiar with creating forms, but unfamiliar with processing it with this kind of system.
I would appreciate some insight.
Thank you.

Okay, I've reviewed the example you gave me and tested it and it worked fine. But when I tried to implement it on my form, the radio button selection didn't post. I'm going to go through this little by little:
<?php
    if ((isset($_POST['WebPkg']))) {
    echo ($_POST['WebPkg']);
?>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">

<li class="TabbedPanelsTab modif" tabindex="0">Premium Upgrades</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab modif" tabindex="0">Review & Complete</li>
</ul>

<p><input type="image" src="../images/stories/add-ons.png" width="135" height="33" border="0" style="background: none; border: none; width: 135px; height: 33px; border: none; float: right; cursor: pointer;" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1); return false;" name="websiteaddons" alt="Website Add-Ons" ></p>
</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">--second tab--...more parts to the form...</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">--third tab--...more parts to the form...
<input type="image" src="../images/review-and-complete.png" height="33" width="135" style="background: none; border: none; width: 135px; height: 33px; border: none; float: right; cursor: pointer; margin-right: 3px;" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(3); return false;" name="gotoreview" alt="Review & Complete" />
</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">--fourth tab--
<p><?php echo((isset($_POST["WebPkg"]))?$_POST["WebPkg"]:"") ?></p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="agreement" id="agreement" />Yes, I have completely read, understand, and agree to all articles and policies as outlined in Rewebbed's <a href="#">Terms & Agreement</a>.</p>
<input name="submit" type="button" value="Account & Billing Info" />
</div>
As you can see on Tab 4, I'm expecting <p><?php echo((isset($_POST["WebPkg"]))?$_POST["WebPkg"]:"") ?></p> to post the sent information with the 'Review & Complete' button clicked in Tab 3. Then in Tab 4, this will be another form that has the posted information to be sent to a payment gateway.
So why wouldn't it post in the fourth tab?

How to create a multiple choice test?

I am baffeled that iWorks on iOS, iCloud and even OS X doesn't have a List Style that works like a normal multiple choice exam question as follows:
1. Exam question
     a. answer one
     b. answer two
     c. answer three
     d. answer four
All I am seeing in my options is somethings that looks like this:
Exam question
answer one
answer two
etc... oddly enough that is the only choice in this form also.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I normally work on a MacBook Pro and an iPad for teaching so an answer that works with both would be helpful.
Thank you.

I thought i had it but the lettered portion went on to D and E in the next question.
please go to www.apple.com/feedback and let them know what you would like to see.

Keyboard accessibility, Captivate 8 - I cannot select multiple choice options with tab / enter.

It seems that most information I can find is that it's a standard feature, and if you have the accessibility checkbox selected then it should work. I'm viewing my quiz in HTML5 Chrome. Tabs do not enter the answers, am I missing something obvious?

I don't know if you resolved this yet... but I had the same problem. Eventually I realized that you have to TAB - SPACE BAR on the quiz slides. With the drop downs for filling in the blanks, it is TAB to, SPACE BAR, UP DOWN ARROW KEYS, ENTER. I am having to put instructions on the slide. Also, I'm having a nightmare with the tabbing on quiz slides, because for some reason it tabs on EVERYTHING on the slide, not just the interactive options. It even tabs the slide itself. I can't fix it... I've tried everything. I have it all perfect on everything but the quiz slides, then it loses focus. Also, for the fill in the blank quiz slides, it tabs to the selections all over the place. First it goes to question 1, then 6 then 3, then 2... and so on. As these don't show up in the tabable order feature, I can't fix that either.
Sorry I just probably made it worse for you... but if you know of a fix for these other tabbing issues with quiz slides, please let me know.

Problem using multiple choice LOV with custom attribute

v 9.0.2
I cannot find how to use a LOV as a check box or a multiple select for a custom attribute. It shows up as a combo box whatever setting I choose for the default format field in the LOV wizard.
I need to give the opportunity to choose more than one option from the LOV for the attribute when adding the custom item associated with the attribute. How do I do this?

Oops wrong forum - have reentered this in content mgmt forum. Disregard this entry.

Create a multiple Pg PDF with Forms, while adding up total of each page.

My name is Javier Morales, I am working on a project for a client in the clothing business. I created a form that it is working very good. I would like your help on figuring out how to insert additional pages to a Pdf form document and keep on adding the Totals of each page.
My email [email protected] I will really appreciate your prompt response. Right now I have them as single PDF documents, which work fine, as long as I dont try to combine them.

Fields within an AcroForm PDF need to uniquely named unless you want the identically named fields to share the same value.
You may have to rethink your approach. You should look at using the template object to spawn additional pages. Unformtuately templates do not function in versions of Reader before XI.

Change Multiple Choice Options from A, B, C to 1, 2, 3?

I am using Captivate 8.1. I need to create a multiple-choice quiz where the answer options are 1, 2, and 3 instead of A, B, and C. I can't find a setting anywhere that lets me change the "numbering" (for lack of a better term) format of the multiple-choice question. Does anyone know if it is possible to do this?

In Quiz Properties panel, at the top, just under Points and Penalty, you'll find Numbering with a dropdown list.
I think you are on 8.0.1.242, there is not a version 8.1
