Drag and Drop Learning Interaction without Overlapping

I would like to be able to drag and drop into a column without dragged items overlapping for a quiz question. I don't know Action Script and am using CS3. What do I need to do to get this to work. Component Inspector states Drag1 = Target 1, etc. I need to drag the items to any of targets 1, 2, and 3. Hopefully, someone out there can help me.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.  Your idea of a boolean variable to define the state of the response is what I was initially trying to accomplish.  Almost as soon as clicked on 'submit', the thought occurred to me to look for action script in the drag/drop component.  I found it and found the response states defined there.  Consequently, I achieved external movie clip control.  I'm new to this forum and appreciate your help.

  • I am organizing my external HD and want to move files NOT COPY them. How do I drag and drop folder contents without Mac automatically copying them to the "drop" location?

    I am sorting out all the clutter and duplicate files on my external HD. In doing this I am moving the entire contents of folders to new locations. Some of these folders cointain gigs of info. I do not want to have to spend large amounts of time waiting for hundreds of gigs to copy somewhere then  moving the originals to the trash and wait even longer deleting all of them. All I want to do is move the files up a subfolder, but the way Finder goes aobut doing it can be a 400 GB swing taking hours. How do I just "move" them?

    Check out this discussion. Worked for me.

    When I do a drag and drop in Finder to move a folder into another folder it makes a copy of the folder in the new location instead of moving it like the help documentation says and like it used to do in Snow Leopard.  I have looked all over in preferences for a setting the contols the move/copy outcome of drag and drop and have been unable to find anything.  Is this the way Lion is supposed to work?

    I did a global change of permissions for the entire documents account in the currrent user account using the get info and apply to enclosed items.
    I think what is happening is that the Documents folder normally carries an "everyone deny delete" ACL, meant to protect it from accidental deletion:
    $ ls -lde ~/Documents
    drwx------+ 6 t1  staff  204 Oct  9 08:51 /Users/t1/Documents
    0: group:everyone deny delete
    ACLs are special types of permissions that do not show up in GetInfo, but can get propagated if you click "Apply to Enclosed Items" on a folder that carries them. Affected files that acquire  that ACL would require password authentication to move or delete them.
    I think the following Terminal command (copy and paste it) should remove such ACLs from items within the Documents  folder:
    chmod -RN ~/Documents/*

  • Drag and Drop without Overlapping.

    Can anyone give me direction on using 'drag and drop' in flash without overlapping?
    For example - I have a list of buttons i drag to an area on the stage.
    I do not want my buttons to overlap.
    Any ideas? Tutorial / example... anything - I'm new on this and i'm in a crunch.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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

  • Drag and Drop Examples?

    Are there any examples out there of an Edge Drag and Drop interaction? I need to create some drag and drop learning interactions in Edge and can't find any good examples.

    So I am at a loss again. I am taking what you made and trying to adapt it to what I need. However whenever I bring in an image instead of using a rectangle the drop part never works. So it works completly fine just as the rectangle but the image now does not. I want the person to drag the image over to the drop area and have it run code once dropped.
    Here is the link to what I have modified so far.

    I think it may have to do with how it is referenced but not sure and could use some help.

  • Drag and drop interaction and restricted forward navigation

    I am using the Infosemantics widget in a captivate 6 project and it works well, but I have now been asked to restrict the forward navigation until the learner has completed the drag and drop and I can't work out how to do this as there isn't obviously anything I can assign an advanced action script to with the widget.  Any ideas how I can approach this - I don't want to have to code a drag and drop from scratch.

    Lieve is correct.  Anything you want to be executed as a result of the user's interaction with the widget needs to happen either via the On Success event, or the On Last Attempt (fail) event. 
    In the case of the Interactive Drag and Drop widget (as is also the case with all of our interactive widgets) you also have preference options that allow you to give the user multiple failure attempts by setting the preferences for Reset Success/Fail Criteria After Action.  If you want the timeline stopped while the user is working with the interaction you can also set the Disable Continue option so that the widget remains paused.

  • 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.

  • Drag and Drop Interaction - Drops Items

    Hi
    I am using the new Interaction template for Drag and Drops. This seems to work great but there is one thing I am struggling to do.
    Is there anyway you can restirct how many items can be placed on a drop zone? At the moment you can drop more than one item to a drop zone and they overlap. My ideal solution would be that you can only drap one item to a zone or that when you drop an item to an area that already has one there, that it replaces it with the new one that was just dropped.
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do what you are asking. Here are some great tutorials from Pooja, an expert! She explains in the videos how to do exactly what you're asking. https://www.adobeknowhow.com/courselanding/what-s-new-adobe-captivate-7.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Resetting Wrong Answers only in a Drag and Drop Interaction

    Hello All,
    What I would like to see in the interaction is  -
    Learner drags items to a specific location
    clicks submit to check answers
    only the wrong answers reset to the original screen location
    feedback displays
    Learner trys again and repeats until all items are in the correct location.
    Is this scenario possible with the drag and drop?  I can get everything but the "only the wrong answers reset" to work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance
    Kelli

    Not possible. Same as for normal question slides: Reset will reset everything. You can have the wrong answers getting back immediately, but it will not wait for Submit in that case.

  • Hand cursor not showing on Drag and Drop interaction Submit button

    Does anyone know why the hand cursor doesn't show when I hover over the submit button on a drag and drop interaction slide created in CP7 and published as HTML5?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks @rickhumpries86. What I did was I narrowed the problem down to a text animation. I only left 2 elements on the stage:
    1) A button
    2) A text animation (a plus sign)
    In this first picture of the stage, the problem exists. The frame of the + is indicated but is not overlapping the button.
    How I corrected it was I had to move the text animation up about 9 times (Ctrl + up arrow) to the position indicated in this next screen shot. Then there was no interference from the + text animation. For the animation I used the Disperse effect. To get the + sign that large, I used Arial size 72 font. So I'm not sure if this is considered a bug, or there is something else that I'm not understanding about the interaction of the text animation and its affect on the stage to other elements.

  • Captivate 8 drag and drop interaction

    Hello,
    just having a look at the new captivate 8 and when i try and make a drag and drop question i go to the normal place of window> drag and drop. but the problem is the drag and drop option is grayed out - could this be because i am only running it on a trial copy?

    Hi, I'm evaluating Captivate 8 and had the same question as SuzySu.
    If my client wants a drag and drop activity, would I need to create a non-responsive project and because being able to view on mobile is also required, would I need to create a separate responsive project without drag and drop? If so, when publishing the projects, would the proper project be automatically selected based on their viewing platform?
    Also, is there a list off all interactions that will or will not work with a responsive theme?
    Thank you!

  • Captivate 8 drag and drop interaction not working

    Hi, I am working with Captivate 8 and created a drag and drop interaction using the drag and drop wizard. For some reason when I preview the interaction some of my drag sources work and others do not. I have searched high and low for what I may be doing wrong but I can't figure it out. I created types when making the interaction so it doesn't make sense that some should work and others do not. Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Ok, so I inserted the screen shots below. I realize the items are overlapping in the wiring. I did change that and try it but it still didn't work. Maybe I need to completely rebuild it?  I created types so that 9 would go to one target and 6 to the other.Thank you so much  for your quick help on all of this.
