Drag and drop interaction for a different use

Hi,
Can anyone please help me get the a solution to the below: For the drag and drop interaction my user should be able to drop the answer (irrespective of that being a wrong answer) to any of the options, but as they click Submit, the actual answers should show up.
I am using Captivate 7.
Thanks,
Roja

Thanks so much Sreekanth!
One thing that I am still struggling with is, the source (the questions) do not sit on the wrong destinations (non-answers), the moment it dragged to the wrong answer, the source goes back to its original place .
Thanks,
Roja

Adobe Captivate Help | Drag-and-drop interaction (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers only)

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/drag-and-drop-interaction.html

Yep. But it will only likely get to you in the next version released for NON subscription or ASA customers. With 6.1 Adobe was giving a preview of the functionality they would be including in your next release. Either way, whether you upgraded to the subscription edition or waited for the next paid upgrade, you were always going to be paying something to get this new functionality. 6.1 users just got it earlier than everyone else. That was Adobe's decision. It certainly hasn't been a popular one.

Drag and Drop Interaction Scoring

Hi-
I've created a drag and drop interaction for a quiz with four
objects. Each object has to match up to the correct spot in order
for the user to get the answer correct. I've done this type of
interactions before successfully and not had a problem with
scoring.
But this time .. the only thing I can see that's different
about this quiz is that I'm not assigning any points in the "Score"
field - I am instead using the Status of Correct Response alone.
I've found that this interaction scoring works perfectly for my
other quiz interactions but there seems to be a problem with the
drag and drop - when the user moves the objects around and
temporarily places an object in the wrong (or maybe even correct)
spot, each of these movements is being racked up as correct in this
interaction So, if there's an ambivalent user they're going to get
many more points than is even supposed to be possible.
I can't see anything different that I've done with this
interaction other than the scoring. I changed to correct response
scoring because it was the only way I could figure out how to reset
the quiz score after the user leaves and comes back. (using
TotalCorrect)
Anyway, I'm open to ideas - even if it's not the scoring -
any help would be appreciated!
Thanks -
Cammia

Don't use the quiz knowledge objects and code yourself...?
You'll find many on here who can help you with hand coding
and probably none
who know much about implementing those KO's who can answer
questions. The
reason is if you know enough to be able to answer questions,
you know enough
to know that these KO's are a short term crutch that cause
long term
problems.

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

1 Success Caption for Multiple Targets in a Drag and Drop Interaction

I see how I can add success captions to each target in a drag and drop interaction, but can you apply only 1 success caption multiple targets?

The boundaries of smartshapes were overlapping with each other. For example, the smartshape on 1st line was overlapping with the one on 2nd line. Due to this, every time you place the text caption "Investment" on the smartshape on 2nd line, it automatically moved to the smartshape on 1st line. As a result, you could never get the answer right, and hence you never saw the Success Caption.
Solution: Move the smartshapes away from each other (or resize them), and ensure that there are no overlaps.
2, The number of attempts for this interaction was set to Infinite. So, you have to play this until you get it right, but you could not get it right because of the reasons mention above. That is why you never saw the Failure Caption.
Solution: Clear the Infinite check box in the Action accordion and specify the required number of attempts. You will get the Failure Caption if you don't get it right in those attempts.
I just tested these solutions and they worked fine. Let me know if you still face any issues.

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.

CP 6.1 Drag and drop interaction - can it be edited/viewed/published by someone using CP6?

Hi all,
I am reasonably new to Captivate. I have a subscription to Captivate 6.1 which now has the new Drag and Drop wizard.
My question is:
If I include a drag and drop interaction in my .cptx file, save it and then give the file to person X to review/edit, but they DO NOT have the drag and drop feature in their version of Captivate (they have Captivate 6), can they:
a: view it?
b. edit it?
c. even if they can't view or edit, could they still publish the file from their end and the drag and drop will work fine and not be affected?
Thanks!
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
Although there is now compatibility between 6.01 and 6.1, which means that your colleagues will be able to open your file, I don't believe they'll be able to edit the interaction at all. And of course publishing will not be possible either. Because I have still 6.01 installed on my laptop and 6.1 on my desktop PC, I can try it out if you want to be totally sure, but for the moment I'm in college and only have laptop with me.

Is the drag and drop interaction available for responsive projects in Cp8?

I created a responsive course but the Drag and Drop button is not active. Is the drag and drop interaction available for responsive projects in Cp8?

Drag and drop interaction failure captions

I have a drag and drop interaction with one drop target and multiple drag objects. Only one drag object is the correct answer. When a learner drags an incorrect drag object to the drag target I would like a failure caption -- that's pretty straightforward. However, I want a different failure capture for each of the wrong drag objects so that there is a different explanation of why each object is wrong. Then I need a success caption for when the correct drag object is dragged to the drop target.
Is this possible?

Hi Jay,
Yes, could create such a scenario, but the Submit button is not used in that case, because the feedback will appear immediately when a drag object has been placed on the target. Is that OK?
Here the work flow:
Besides the object, create all the feedback text containers that you need, correct and incorrect and label them so that they are easily recognizable. I labeled them FB_1, FB_2... because my objects were Drop1, Drop2...
Make those feedbacks initially invisible and group them in Gr_FB
Create the drag&drop in the normal way with one correct link
Select the target and in the in the D&D panel, click on the Accept button, change the settings like this
The advanced actions are pretty simple, standard, with two statements: Hide Gr_FB and Show FB_n (with the appropriate feedback container - you cannot use Shared actions in this dialog).
In the D&D panel, choose Infinite for the number of attempts and uncheck the Failure caption.

Overwriting Drag and Drop Interaction

I've got a Flash slide presentation with a drag and drop
learning interaction added. When I try to add a second drag and
drop interaction to the presentation, I get prompted to either
replace or don't replace the existing drag and drop, even though
I'm working on a different slide.
If I replace it, everything is lost. If I select don't
replace, all of the symbols on both of the interactions are linked.
I tried changing the symbol names but that hasn't solved it. Any
suggestions?

Tell me about it! Same happened for me.
I ended up only using the 1 drag n drop in the quiz.
Since then I did think maybe creating a new layer and putting
the new one on that? But I haven't tried it.

How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.

Drag and Drop Interaction Wizard

I am having problems with the Drag and Drop Interaction Wizard. I am using Captivate (6.1) and when I launch the wizard I am able to select the drag objects and drop targets, but when I get to Step 3 (mapping), I am unable to map the drag sources to the drop targets. When I double click on the drag source and draw the arrow to the drop target, the arrow disappears.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do about it?

Hi,
You do not want to double click on the object in Step 3. All you need to do to map the source to destination, on the Green Items you would notice a '+' symbol, drag and put them on the drop item, you would able to map them easily that way, double clicking them would deselect the object.

AS2 Drag and Drop Interaction help

I am trying to create a reusable template for a drag and drop interaction.
There are 7 drag objects, 7 targets.
Based on a scenario we develop (which of the 7 services [drag objects] are the best solution, for example), I would like to create interactions where some of the drag drop combinations are correct answers and dragging/dropping other combinations would result in an "incorrect" answer.
I am having issues with designating the correct and incorrect responses in the AS code, as well as how to provide the positive (correct answers) and negative (incorrect answers) feedback after a submit button is selected.
Additionaly, I have a reset button that does not function the way I expected - move the drag objects back to the start position and allow the user to resubmit an answer.
I am using Flash CS5, but need to use AS2 as the swf file is going to be inserted into an Articulate Presenter project (Articulate does not support AS3 yet).
Thank you for any assistance or suggestions!

Intuitive Drag and Drop interaction

Hi,
i am working on a drag and drop interaction with a direct feed-back built in. there are 6 dragables and 6 drop sources, which are rectangle smart shapes. depending on the answer which is dragged, i want an x or a check to appear next to the smart shape and then disappear if the answer is changed or the reset button is clicked. sofar i have assigned an advanced action to each drop source telling it to make an x or a check appear, depending on if the answer is correct or not. the problem is, that the x or the check stays in place after the answer has been substituted with another. I also tried assigning the the check or x with a fade in/fade out time, but that didn´t seem to work. i know the easy way is to just assign one correct answer to each drop source, but i want the interaction to be a bit more intuitive. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks!!!
-N

I am sorry i am not sure what the abbreviations AFAIK and IMO mean...At the moment i am trying to solve the problem using conditional actions. on the right are the dragables on the left the drop source. what i was trying was: if 1=1 (true) then show check, hide x else show x hide check (this is the script for inserting the correct answer) for all of the incorrect answers i wrote: if 1=1 (true) then show x, hide check else hide x show check...now i am not sure if this is completely wrong, but it seemed to work. the problem is, i would have to write this script for each drop source, making the corresponding x or check appear...is there a way to make a "global" script?

Drag and Drop interaction.

I really struggle with setting this up. The Finish button stays inactive. Is the a tutorial for this?
Kindly,
Jake

Have you mapped the source and targets? I think the button remains inactive until you map.
You can read more about it here. It also has some demos.
