Drag and Drop as an Assessment in Captivate 7

Hello-
I am having an extreme amount of difficulty when it comes to using this function in Captivate 7. The following is a list of questions that I cannot seem to find the answer to anywhere online.
After assigning the answers (as in which box gets dragged to the other), I saw that even though I have 5 separate boxes and therefore 5 separate answers, the quiz results only count this entire drag and drop as one answer. How do I set it so that each drag and drop within the slide is an individual point to add up to a total of 5 points?
I am very confused as to how to set up the failure box-I only want it to show up when people go back to review their quiz. I also have this problem with all other quizzes, as well as the "review area" box.
If someone, or multiple people, could please answer these, and not just link to another page with the answers, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
Nat

Flash drag and drop not finding targets in Captivate

I created a drag and drop game in Flash CS4 using Actionscript 2 which allows you to pull clothing onto a stick figure. If you get the clothes in the right place, over the target, then they stick, if not they return to their original position. It works fine but when I open it in Captivate 4 the targets no longer hold the objects. No matter where you place the clothes icons they will return to their original position.
I have captivate set up for the correct Actionscript and the fps in captivate and the swf are the same. I've included the code I wrote below. Please help if you have any answers as to why this is happening.
shirt_mc.onPress=function(){
startDrag(this);
shirt_mc.onRelease=shirt_mc.onReleaseOutside=function(){
stopDrag();
if (this._droptarget == "/targetShirt") {
this.onTarget=true;
_root.targetShirt.gotoAndStop(2);
}else{
this.onTarget=false;
_root.targetShirt.gotoAndStop(1)
shirt_mc.myHomeX=shirt_mc._x;
shirt_mc.myHomeY=shirt_mc._y;
shirt_mc.onMouseDown=function(){
//this variable tells us if the mouse is up or down
mousePressed=true;
shirt_mc.onMouseUp=function(){
mousePressed=false;
shirt_mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
//all these actions basically just say "if the mouse is up (in other words - the clip is not being dragged)
// then move the MC back to its original starting point (with a smooth motion)
if(mousePressed==false&&this.onTarget==false){
this._x-=(this._x-this.myHomeX)/5;
this._y-=(this._y-this.myHomeY)/5;
pants_mc.onPress=function(){
startDrag(this);
pants_mc.onRelease=pants_mc.onReleaseOutside=function(){
stopDrag();
if (this._droptarget == "/targetPants") {
this.onTarget=true;
_root.targetPants.gotoAndStop(2);
}else{
this.onTarget=false;
_root.targetPants.gotoAndStop(1)
pants_mc.myHomeX=pants_mc._x;
pants_mc.myHomeY=pants_mc._y;
pants_mc.onMouseDown=function(){
//this variable tells us if the mouse is up or down
mousePressed=true;

Hi all,
Thanks for the informative replies. My main issue seems to be when adding animations. For example (I have included one below
). I add this animation to my project and it runs perfectly. I then add another, very similar animation, and the sound dissapears completely in the previous one! I remove the one added, preview the project again and the first animation works again!
The only access I make to Root is through the successful click on the otherTARGET, that tells captivate to move to the next slide. Could this be the root (exuse the pun) of my problems?
Any help appreciated!
stop();
var target:Array=new Array(likelyTARGET,otherTARGET,other1TARGET);
addListners();
var more:Sound = new consequencefocuspeople();
var less:Sound = new consequencemoreserious();
function addListners(){
for (var i in target) {
target[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
var item:String = event.target.name;
switch(item)
case "otherTARGET":
     var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
      mainmov.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
break;
case "other1TARGET":
removeAllEventListner()
var soundChannel:SoundChannel = more.play();
soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete);
break;
case "likelyTARGET":
removeAllEventListner()
var soundChannel2:SoundChannel = less.play();
soundChannel2.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete);
break;
function soundComplete(event:Event):void {
addListners()
function removeAllEventListner()
for (var i in target)
target[i].removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
thanks,
tristan

Drag and Drop in Captivate 6

Hi,
I have a Corporate licenced version of Captivate 6. I would like to know how to use the Drag and Drop interaction.
Thanking you.
With regards
Leena

Which version of Captivate 6 do you have? Drag and drop activity is included in Captivate 6.1 onwards. For earlier versions, your best bet would be to buy Infosemantics widget here:

Easy Drag and Drop question

I can drag-n-drop from a tree to tree; grid to tree; tree to
list; list to tree ... but I'm having a helluva time dragging from
a plain old textInput to a tree. It seem to be something to do
w/the drag proxy ... when I try it, a new node shows up in the tree
with no label.
I'm running out if ideas.
Thanks --

This is interesting. As well as having the above problem, I
was getting an incorrect result when dragging to the correct points
in column 2. even though it should be correct
Because of the issue in the previous post, i.e. not being
able to see the last two entries, I decided to delete them.
Hey presto this seemed to fix this above problem. Now my drag
and drop works.
It seems captivate doesn't like to go beyond 6 entries in
column 1 i.e. doesn't show the extra entries and also causes an
false error when successfully completing the drag and drop

How to add Two incorrect feedbacks in Drag and drop in captivate 7.

Hi
I want to show two different incorrect feedback in drag and drop interaction in Captivate 7. Currently we can show only one even though i have increased the drag and drop attempts to 2. I want to show a try again feedback and incorrect feedback with correct options and this should not be there when the learner re-visits this slide.
Note: I am already using a success caption and have executed the action - "On Enter" to "Hide" this success caption.
Please help me with this.

Hi Sreekanth,
You understanding is correct. But,it is not even necessary to show the correct sources on correct targets along with the feedback... the correct option numbers in incorrect feedback will do.
reg point number 3, if I revisit the slide, the feedback are still displayed. For example, in this case, I added a correct feedback, but when I revisit the slide, the feedback was still appearing. So I added this action "On Enter" to "Hide" this success caption. So that is why i told specifically that none of the feed backs should be there when i revisit the slide.
Sorry Srikanth - I am not familiar with the advanced actions or variables. I have just used some from referring the examples from net. that's all

Reg Drag and Drop Feedback in Captivate 7

Hi,
I have a drag and drop in a slide (Captivate 7) as a knowledge check.
Problem: I need a drag and drop interaction's correct feedback to reset when the learner returns to the drag and drop slide later or clicks the back button from the next slide. Currently the correct feedback is present.
Background: The learner completes the drag and drop and gets the 'Correct!' feedback from show action and 'Incorrect' feedback from the existing captivate failure feedback. The learner then continues the lesson by going to the next slide. The problem is that, if the learner returns to the drag and drop, the 'Correct!' feedback still shows even though the drag source items have reset to their original locations and the learner can redo the drag and drop interaction. Clicking the 'Reset' button does not remove the existing 'Correct!' feedback. Even if the learner redoes the interaction and does the opposite (e.g. if the learner got it wrong the first time, but then gets it correct this second time), the existing feedback does not change from 'Correct.'
Any ideas on how to fix this? I understand we have to create advanced actions. Please tell me the exact steps in this instance and whether i have to execute the actions on enter or exit.
Note: I tired to read the posts related to this. But creating the advanced options step was not given.
Thank you.

OK. Just asking because I saw one of the Adobe people chime in on a similar question a day or two back.
Unlike quiz questions, the Success and Failure Captions for drag and drop interactions appear to have Item Names which suggests they can be hidden via Advanced Actions. You should try setting an On Slide Enter action to hide them and see if that resolves your issue.

Flash Drag and Drop Template in Captivate. *HELP*

Good morning.
I am attempting to use the drag and drop learning interaction
that comes pre-packaged with Flash CS3 and import it into Captivate
for use in a Captivate based e-learning exercise.
I create the drag and drop just fine in Flash, and it looks
perfect when I publish it in Flash, etc.
When I attempt to use the EXACT same SWF in Captivate,
however, it does not work. I can move the drags around the screen,
but they will not "drop" where they are supposed to.
Thinking maybe I broke the template, I went ahead and just
imported it 100% unchanged from Flash into Captivate (without me
messing around with it changing things around) and it does the
exact same thing.
I have successfully used my own homemade flash "widgets" in
Captivate, to include like click and reveal type interactions...for
whatever reason, though, I can't get this one to work, even though
I know it works perfectly in Flash.
The .swf file was developed using ActionScript 2.0 in Flash
and I tried publishing it with Flash 9 and Flash 8 as the setting,
both do the same thing.
Help!!!?
Thanks.
Rob

Hi R
Note that the Border simply adds space to the project so the
playback controls aren't covering part of your movie. Assuming you
want that to continue AND have a playback control, you might resize
the project so the playback control is included in the main movie
as well as being placed in an area that doesn't possibly obscure
any screen activity.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate Drag and Drop Functionality

Please could someone confirm when Captivate will ship with drag and drop functionality as standard rather than as an extension only available to subscription or ASA users?
Thanks.

Adobe doesn't usually give any advance confirmation dates for when they will ship a new product version or patch.

Captivate 7 Drag and Drop is crashing Safari in iOS7, is this a know issue? Is there a fix?

This is on an iPad 3, iOS7 version 7.1.1
The Drag and Drop functions properly in Chrome, IE9, and iOS6 so I'm assuming everything is set up correctly. The scene loads, then after a second or two closes Safari.
Captivate 7
Version 7.0.1.237
Windows 7

Though I would still like an answer to this question, I do have a workaround...
Instead of setting the target objects actions to Play Audio, set the actions to execute an advanced action consisting of two statements: Play Audio and Assign CpCmdPause to 1.

Drag and drop in captivate 7

In captivate 7, there is a drag & drop interaction, is it in-built or i want to purchase the drag and drop widget.

Hello,
It is built in since 6.1, and works for SWF and HTML5 output, has not totally the same functionality of the interactive drag and drop widget (but that one only works for SWF-output).

Cannot change target sound in drag and drop to "no sound" once a default sound is selected in Captivate 8

I was trying out all the options for a drag and drop interaction in Captivate 8 and selected one of the default sounds for a target. I want to change it back to "no sound", but the selection never sticks. Is there something I'm missing or is this a "feature"?

When you go to the “Format” tab of the drag and drop properties, there is an option called “audio” (right below the “depth” option).
It has default sounds you can pick (sound1, sound2, sound3, and incorrect sound). Or you can browse to an audio file. If I select one of the default sounds, and then decide not to use any sound, it will not change to the “none” option. I have to delete the drag and drop interaction and start over.

Drag and drop objects in Captivate 4

Hi,
Is it possible to have a user click and drag an object on a slide in captivate 4?
For e.g. - in a matching type-quiz, instead of creating the usual quiz - I want a user to click and place the correct object in the correct box. Can this effect be achieved?
Thanks!

With either (or both) of these Drag and Drop widgets, yes: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/dragdrop

Drag and drop Captivate 6.0

The Drag and Drop feature on my Captivate 6.0 is no longer active. I think this is because Windows was recently reloaded onto my computer. How do I get it back?

You should indeed have drag&drop. What happens when you open an older project that had drag&drop in it?
Clearing the cache is a good practice, not sure this will help for your problem because it is the first time I read such a question. If you didn't have a lot of customisation, refreshing the Preferences could also be a possibility. There is a batch file in the utils subfolder of the installation folder of Captivate. But CP must be closed. I suppose you already tried restarting Captivate and rebooting?

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.
