Displaying feed backs in Captivate 7 multiple choice quizzes

Hi,
I am running different quiz slides in Captivate 7 and I want students after clicking on the submit button get the correct answer.
I could dispaly the answer to the students but when they chose the right answer, I want them to get the answer and the default feedback from Captivate (which is "Correct click next to continue...") at the same time.
is that possible in advace actions?
Thanks

Yes and no.
Yes it is possible to show feedback captions to the user as soon as they click the Submit button.  You can alter the text in the default feedback captions on any individual question slide to have the caption say anything you want.  So if you want the Incorrect feedback caption to tell the user what the correct answer is, you can certainly do that.
As far as using Advanced Actions to show customized feedback to a user after they click the Submit button, YES you can also use them, but with some limitations. The On Success and ON Last Attempt events for a quiz question do not get fired as soon as the Submit button is clicked unless you have turned off the default feedback captions, which means that the slide will also be continuing to play, which means your custom feedback captions will only be visible for as long as the rest of the slide is visible, unless you also set the Advanced Actions to Pause the slide as well as SHOW your relevant captions.

  • How to change the design of multiple-choice checkboxes

    Hello,
    i want to change the look of multiple-choice quizzes. Instead of the typical checkbox with checkmark i would like to place a button that changes its color - for example blue for right (activated) and white for wrong (not selected).
    I think it should be possible, but I don't know where I can change the look of checkboxes. I Tried it with a hotspot-quiz, but that is not exactly what I'm searching for.
    The best solution for me would be a kind of button with mouse-over effect as known from websites (HTML).
    Can you please tell me what I have to edit?
    Thank you very much.
    Boris

    Hello and thank you for posting this information. I'm still seeing a number of problems with implementing a workable solution.
    For HTML5 only (not Flash), I have changed the image: HTML/assets/htmlimages/checkBox_selected.png to a blue button (118x53 pixels instead of the default 22x22pixels), and as expected the button will still be the same size until I change the code description of the checkbox. I found the CSS description of the checkbox button in: HTML/assets/css/CPQuiz.css and have made the changes to the width and height (see below), and even though the following changes are generated in the output files, they don't have any effect on the button. However, I found that if I changed the 'Project.js' file where it defines the width and height of the checkboxes that this would actually change the values, but this is always re-written over and generated each time you click 'Publish'.
    So, I then found some hard-coding in the file: HTML/assets/js/CPLibrary.js (just search for 22px and you'll see that the checkbox description width and height are not being read from the CSS file) and this appears to be where the actual code is coming from that gets generated for output when you click on 'Publish'.
    This is not an optimal solution, I feel that I'm beginning to hack around the default code for Adobe Captivate more than I should be expected to do. Is this really what others are doing to make what should be pretty simple and easy changes?
    Additionally, I noticed that when I click on my checkbox, the 'checkBox_selected.png' will be drawn, but if I click on it again the 'checkBox_disabled.png' appears to be drawn on top of the previous 'checkBox_selected.png' which is not the behavior I would expect. I want to be able to see what is underneath the button if I click on it again in order to un-check the box and instead it draws the 'checkBox_disabled.png' on top, covering up the default text I need to see!
    Below are my changes to CPQuiz.css (which were copied to the 'Published' file, but had no visible effect)
    input[type=checkbox]:checked
        background: url('../htmlimages/checkBox_selected.png') no-repeat center center;
        -webkit-appearance: none;
        border: none;
        -webkit-background-size: 118px 53px;

  • Grey box over multiple choice options in quiz (Captivate 5.5)

    I created several quiz slides - all multiple choice.  When the mouse is moved over the answer options a grey box highlights the radio button and text of the option.  I'd rather not have this grey box displayed.  Any ideas on how I turn off this "feature"?

    Interesting.  Can you upload screenshots of a question with the grey rollover and a question that does not have it, each with a mouse cursor over an answer item, so that we can see?
    Is this a project that has been upgraded from an older version of Captivate or was it built from scratch in Captivate 5.5?

  • Adobe Captivate more than 15 multiple choice answers

    Hi,
    I am trying to create one slide multiple choice question.
    My options in answers are 16 and from these 16 answers only 4 of them is correct.
    Why Captivate doesn't allow me to have more than 15 multiple choice answers?
    Thanks,
    Shirin

    Sorry, but the limit is 15. Even that is pretty much for a MCQ.

  • Adobe Captivate 8 system variable "cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice" is empty for random multiple-choice questions.

    Does anyone run into this problem when capturing the user answer for a random question slide? Adobe Captivate 8 system variable "cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice" is empty for random multiple-choice questions.

    Hi Shriyansh.
    The reason I am interested in capturing the user answers in Submit All situation is that I know after I published the test using SCORM 2004, all the user responses were captured in "cmi.suspend_data" because my test can resume the test to the last exit question in the middle. However, when I looked at the suspend data value, I have a hard time to understand the pattern and pick out the meaningful user question responses data. I really need help from you to understand how the suspend data value was constructed and how to parse this data. Another area I thought it's easy to get the user question responses data is the interaction records, but I always got only one question (the last randomly sampled question) interaction record. See the following generated XML SCORM 2004 4th edition data. Could you help me figure out how to interpret the following suspend data to get the users responses to each test question?  And why I only got one question interaction record? Thanks again for your help, Zhuoran.

  • PDF Form: Multiple Choice sheet that displays a percentage based on answers provided

    Hello,
    Im trying to create a form that has 4 multiple choice questions, the answers to each being the values 0,1,2,3,4, 5 or N/A.
    Once answers are given, I'd like the percentage to appear on the form.
    I can't figure out how to do this, as the total fluctuates depending on if the response to one or more questions is "N/A".
    I.e. if the answers were as follows: 4,4,4,4, the percentage would be 80% (16/20).
    However, if the answers were: 4,4,4,N/A, the percentage would also be 80% (12/15) and NOT 60% (12/20).
    I figure its a javascript thing - but alas I do not know Java.
    Help Please!

    So you want to compute the percentage of the non-"N/A" selections using the count of selected items * 5 as the denominator and then use that value to divide the sum of the values for the non-"N/A" selections.
    Has a default checked value been selected.
    Since the averaging is not just computation of the mean based on the item count, you to create a custom JavaScript calculation.
    var aNames = new Array("Radio Button.0", "Radio Button.1", "Radio Button.2", "Radio Button.3"); // array of field names
    var aValues = new Array();
    var sum = 0;
    var count = 0;
    var oField;
    event.value = "";
    for(i = 0; i < aNames.length; i++) {
    // get values of fields into array;
    oField = this.getField(aNames[i]);
    if(oField ==  null) app.alert("Error getting " + aNames[i] + " field!", 0, 1);
    else aValues[aValues.length] = oField.value;
    if(aValues.length != 0) {
    // sum the non-N/A vlaues in the array;
    for(i = 0; i < aValues.length; i++) {
    if(String(aValues[i]).toUpperCase() != "N/A") {
    sum += Number(aValues[i]); // sum the non-N/A values;
    count++; // count the non-N/a values;
    // compute average if count not zero;
    if(count != 0) event.value = sum / (count * 5);

  • 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?

  • Multiple Choice Question Issues

    I am embedding a quiz within my presentation with individual
    question slides interspersed throughout the presentation. These
    questions are pulled from a couple of different question pools. I
    want to use a multiple choice question that branches to different
    parts of the presentation depending on the correct or incorrect
    answer. If the user answers the question incorrectly, I send them
    to the next slide which has two click boxes. On this slide, they
    can either click one box to move back in the presentation and
    review the material or click another box to move them forward to
    another multiple choice question. If they go back and review the
    information, they would eventually return to the same multiple
    choice question to try it again. (This is the desired navigation,
    anyway.)
    What actually happens is that when the user goes back to
    review the information and then finally returns to the question,
    the question has not been reset and still shows the incorrect
    answer marked with no way to clear it.
    I have used this same navigation on a drag-and-drop type
    question and it works fine. All the settings for the
    multiple-choice questions are set the same as in the drag-and-drop
    question.
    Any help in making this work correctly would be greatly
    appreciated.

    I can't see where that error might arise except possibly for a case where an AS2 radio is used since it appears they don't have a group property, but an AS3 radio button does.  Check to be sure that your Flash Publish Settings are set to use AS3.  AS3 errors normally have error numbers which also makes the error you quoted ring of an AS2 scenario.
    Here's a link to the file I made based on your code that works fine and doesn't display the errors you mention.  It is a CS3 file.

  • Multiple choice with multiple answers

    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone can help me out.  I'm creating a series of tutorials useing Captivate and at the end of each one I want a slide that has the options
    a) re-run tutorial (jump back about 100 slides)
    b)go to next tutorial (next slide)
    c)return to start (jump to slide 1)
    I've had a look at the multiple choice questions in Captivate but they only seem to alow you to make one movement with a "correct" answer and I'm looking for more of a navigational tool.  Would this functionality be stored under the 'Quiz' section or somewhere else or is this function just not available in this tool?
    Thank you very much for your help,
    Michelle

    Hi there
    Notice that with the Multiple Choice question type, when you select one of the possible answers you have an Advanced button that may be clicked. You may then assign a different action for each answer selected. So answer a could jump back 100 slides, answer b could open another project and answer c could perhaps open Google.
    Cheers... Rick

  • 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

  • Hi.  I´d like to create my own multiple choice test, can you help?  Thanks!!  Kate, Hi.  I´d like to create my own multiple choice test, can you help?  Thanks!!  Kate

    I´d like it to have automated response.....how do I do that?  Thanks heaps

    Take a look at Jotform.com.  Withn it you can create some multiple choice questions with radio buttons or checkboxes. An example of Jotform is on this demo page: Embedding Forms & Encoding Email Addresses
    As far as after June of next year just get yourself a new hosting service and move your sites to it.  These tutorials might be of interest to you once you do get a new hosting service:
    #25 - Easily Transfer Website Folders From MobileMe to a 3rd Party Server
    #26 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued
    #10 - Redirect Every Web Page of a MobileMe Site to the Same Page on a New Host Server.
    This might be of some interest also:
    It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.  iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party solutions.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.  However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.  Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

    I'm making a multiple choice presentation and need help highlighting the correct answers.
    I'm using Keynote v5.3 and here is the format of my slides:
    Text box - Question
    Text box - (A) Answer A
    Text box - (B) Answer B
    Text box - (C) Answer C
    Text box - (D) Answer D
    When I click to advance, the desired effect I'd like is for the correct answer to turn red in order to let the class know that it's the correct answer.
    I looked on the Build Inspector tool but the only Effects that appear in the Action section are Move, Opacity, Rotate and Scale. None which I don't want.
    Is there a way to animate the correct answer/text box to change color?
    Please help. Thanks!

    builds only work in  linear order ( 1, then 2, then 3,  then 4 ) they don't run in a random access selection,
    ( 4, 1, 2, 3 ) which is what would be required in the method you describe.
    the  way to do this is to use hyperlinks from the first slide to four other slides
    on slide 1:
    type the question and  the multiple choice statements
    draw a shape beside each statement and use this as a hyperlink button to the  respective slide number
    select each shape in turn:
    inspector > hyperlink > enable hyperlink > link to slide and select the respective slide number
    when you click on   button A, it will display the the responce to choice d
    by the way, viewers have been taught that colours have  certain associations ( country dependant of course)
    such as red for danger so
    the traditional colour to use for a correct answer is GREEN
    the traditional colour to use for an incorrect answer is RED

  • 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.
