Error with my my drag and drop quiz

I'm working in Presenter 7. The problem I'm having is with
the matching quiz. Initially it looks fine then when I begin to
drag the answers to their correct location I get this big grey box
and where ever I drag one of the answers the grey mess gets bigger.
How can I resolve this?

Alright I was having a problem with the presenter version of
drag and drop so I made my own in Flash. Problem that I'm having
now is that it works fine out of flash and not at all in presenter.
It's like id doesn't see my stop() actionscript at first and then
it does. I tried importing it as flash 9 and 8 and getting the same
problem. Is there some kind of special actionscript I need to write
to get it to work in Presenter?

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.

Safari for Mac, webpage with Java applet, drag and drop area not working.

At my company, we have a web page that our users access to submit media files, (QuickTime, Audio, images...), for transcoding for delivery. The web page consists of a java applet, with an area that our users drag and drop media file into.
After updating to Safari 5.1.2, the applet will not work anymore. Instead, the browser will "open" the quicktime and play it, instead of allowing the Java Applet to do it's job.
CAN I TURN THIS FUNCTIONALITY OFF??
I read that Safari 5.1.2, (when it was initially released), broke something with the THEN current version of Java, and everyone was awaiting the latest update (build 1.6.0_29) to fix it. Unfortunately, this update did not fix my issue with the functionality of dragging and dropping media files into the web page.
It seems to me, as if, there is an over-arching functionality setting (or something) that needs to be either turned off, or in some other way DE-prioritized.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for quick reply and help. I am able to drag multiple files but this is giving problem in case of filename with spaces like "abc def.png". Can you please put some thoughts on this.

Help with Basics! Dragging and dropping clips

Good Morning! I've been frustrating myself for weeks just trying to get started. I've uploaded all my video clips through a firewire connection and they look fine. However, when I simply want to drag and drop a clip into the timeline it doesn't work. I have tried it on both the clip and the timeline viewer and have tried cropped and uncroppd videos clips. HELP! I thought this was the easy part. I even have a book, video and online help, but everything says simply "drag and drop clip" Any help is welcome. Thanks! Quail

Hi Matthew:
Maybe he could try deleting the iMovie preference files? Seems to fix some of the strangest of problems at times-do you agree?
Quail:
Try deleting the imovie preference file. Locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist

PDF made with distiller vs drag and drop on Acrobat icon.

How is the file handled differently if I us the stand alone distiller verses just dragging and dropping, say an .eps to the Adobe Acrobat Pro program Icon. I have this question because I have found using distiller on occasion will not give me a correct font as apposed to drag and drop on Acrobat Icon which will keep the font correct. I'm using Acrobat Pro on a 2 X 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac and OSX 10.5.8.

This is exactly how I understood this to work as well. …and yet the resulting PDF is not the same in the tests I have done.
But, I have taken the same exact .eps file and draged it into the distiller window and had certin fonts not show correctly in the resulting PDF. When I take this same exace .eps and drag it to the Acrobat icon it creates a PDF file with all fonts showing correctly. I was looking for some insite into why this was the case.

Issue with FCPX transition drag and drop and grouped clips...

hello when i do a alt G to group clip, i was unable to apply a transition to the end of this grouped selection...
drag and drop transition doesn't work...
- i try to let finalcut pro render the grouped part... it change nothing
- sometime drag and drop transtion does'nt work or a message ask to add the transtion to the clip... don't know why?
closing and starting finalcut pro x make things work for a time as soon as i don't group clip again...
need help please...

You need to learn the concept of "Handles": these are the pieces of your clip that are before the start point and after the end point. The handles are used to create the transitions. One nice way to see how this works is by using the "Precision Editor" (to see it, select an edit point and hit Ctrl-E). In this picture, the parts surrounded by a red rectangle are the handles:
If you select the edit point and the select is in red, that means there is no handle there (no extra frames that can be used). When there are no handles, you either can't make a transition or get this dialog:
If you go ahead and click "Create Transition", the clip(s) will be shortened, because FCP will "pull" the right clip onto the left one to make the transition.

Help needed with virtual bookshelf - drag and drop between components?

Hi there,
Im trying to create a virtual bookshelf, where book spines are individual movie clips that can be dragged and re-ordered on the shelf. At the moment i can drag the spines to one assigned target, but not any target or 'nudge' the position of the other books along.
Im sorry if this is a bit vague i'm not that experienced in as3, please feel free to ask any questions and i'll do my best to answer. Im thinking that an array is necessary which holds the positions, but im not sure how to put it all together!
Any help greatly appreciated! The code i have so far is:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var dragArray:Array = [red, blue, green, purple, yellow];
var matchArray:Array = [target1, target2, target3, target4, target5];
var currentClip:MovieClip;
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++) {
dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
matchArray[i].alpha = 0.2;
function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
currentClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
startX = currentClip.x;
startY = currentClip.y;
addChild(currentClip); //bring to the front
currentClip.startDrag();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);
function stage_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);
currentClip.stopDrag();
var index:int = dragArray.indexOf(currentClip);
var matchClip:MovieClip = MovieClip(matchArray[index]);
if(matchClip.hitTestPoint(currentClip.x, currentClip.y, true)) {
//a match was made! position the clip on the matching clip:
currentClip.x = matchClip.x;
currentClip.y = matchClip.y;
//make it not draggable anymore:
currentClip.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
currentClip.buttonMode = false;
} else {
//match was not made, so send the clip back where it started:
currentClip.x = startX;
currentClip.y = startY;

Morning kglad, thanks for your help yesterday. I tried the code again and still have the same problems - you cant drop over another book and it nudges that book along aswell as the others to the right. Also if you drop a book back in its originally place - sometimes - it creates a gap next to it. The book still only seem happy in their original starting positions!
Its very close, im continuing to try fiddle with it to get it working, have the whole of today to try and do this so the coffee is on!
Ive taken some code out that I realise this morning I didnt't need - e.g the code that stops a book being dragged once you have positioned it (they need to be able to be repositioned more than once, and the code that sends a book back to its original position if you didnt reposition it over a target. If this was foolish please tell me! I have a feeling the latter was!
so the code im trying to get working at the moment is:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var dragArray:Array = [red, blue, green, purple, yellow];
var matchArray:Array = [target1, target2, target3, target4, target5];
var currentClip:MovieClip;
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++) {
// REMOVED
//dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
matchArray[i].alpha = 0.2;
function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
currentClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
startX = currentClip.x;
startY = currentClip.y;
addChild(currentClip); //bring to the front
currentClip.startDrag();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);
function stage_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);
currentClip.stopDrag();
var index:int = dragArray.indexOf(currentClip);
var matchClip:MovieClip = MovieClip(matchArray[index]);
if(matchClip.hitTestPoint(currentClip.x, currentClip.y, true)) {
//a match was made against a target:
currentClip.x = matchClip.x;
currentClip.y = matchClip.y;
//REMOVED
//make it not draggable anymore:
//currentClip.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
//currentClip.buttonMode = false;
for(var i:int=dragArray.indexOf(currentClip)+1;i<dragArray.length;i++){
dragArray[i].x+=currentClip.width;
// REMOVED
//else {
//match was not made, so send the clip back where it started:
//currentClip.x = startX;
//currentClip.y = startY;

How do you make an object draggable without creating a drag and drop quiz question?

I'm trying to make objects that can be dragged, scaled, and rotated by the user (not a preset animation). Any way to do this?

The only thing that comes to mind is a widget.
If anyone would have it, it would be Rod Ward.

Cannot edit the answers or the button styles in a drag and drop quiz?

As you see the submit button does not actually appear..on hover it shows the area..the clear also doesn't appear, i have put that externally on the slide...I am unable to format the responses as well...doing a classroom project, need help soon..

What parts are you finding inelegantI was a little worried about the possibility of the image lagging behind the mouse pointer. If the application was repainting every time it got a mouse motion event, it might not keep up. And, of course, there is a level-of-effort consideration for the implementation.
Custom cursors?This was actually my first thought. It would certainly be the easiest solution. I've done custom cursors before, but I was a bit worried about the overhead... Not that I have any specific reason, it's just that the application would be changing cursors quite often and I'm used to thinking of cursors as a special system resource that an application shouldn't mess with... Of course, what was true 20 years ago, is not necessarily true today.
Does anyone know if this would be an issue? Can I use custom cursors reasonably freely without serious impact on the graphics subsystem?

[ASK] Show Object with Drag and Drop Condition

Hello guys,
I just finished making my simple drag and drop quiz which i've already mentioned in the previous thread. But i still have a problem. I've searched through the Internet, but i didn't find any case similar with my case.
Please take a look at this picture :
I want to hide the "nextbutton" (D button) then show (unhide) the button with some conditions, here are the conditions :
If "p=>~q" square dragged on "A" white square && "~q" square dragged on "B" white square && "~p" square dragged on "C" white square then,
Button D = visible
else
Button D = not visible
How can i do this in actionscript 3.0?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

I'm sorry, i haven't told you that i've already tried to do it with hitTestObject function, but it doesn't work, the D button never shows up even i dragged the squares on the right spot, here is some of the actionscript :
Square_4 = pnotq
Square_5 = notq
Square_1 = notp
/* Stop at This Frame
The Flash timeline will stop/pause at the frame where you insert this code.
Can also be used to stop/pause the timeline of movieclips.
stop();
//Hide and Show Actionscript
if(Square_4.hitTestObject(Target_2) && Square_5.hitTestObject(Target_1) && Square_1.hitTestObject(Target_3)){
Next.visible=true;
} else {
Next.visible=false;
//ButtonMode Actionscript
Square_1.buttonMode = true;
Square_4.buttonMode = true;
Square_5.buttonMode = true;
//Some part of the Drag and Drop Actionscript
(I made drag and drop for all the squares (1-7))
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
Square_4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickMe);
Square_4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMe);
function pickMe(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.startDrag(true);
    startX = event.target.x;
    startY = event.target.y;
function dropMe(event:MouseEvent):void {
    event.target.stopDrag();
    var myTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
    var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
    if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == Target_2){
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickMe);
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMe);
        event.target.buttonMode = false;
        event.target.x = Target_2.x;
        event.target.y = Target_2.y;
    } else {
        event.target.x = startX;
        event.target.y = startY;

HTML5 matching quiz drag and drop reveals TOC menu

Hi,
Not sure if this has been reported as a problem converting Captivate 7 lessons to HTML5.
In several lessons there are Matching quizzes which allow drag and drop of the answer to a blank in the text or selection from the drop down menu by matching numbers in the text.
Here is a link to an example lesson containing a Matching quiz. The quiz is on slide 5. The easiest way to get there directly is to use the TOC Menu to navigate to "Test What You've Learned".
http://www.djfilms.ca/NRCan/HTML5/Lesson1.1_v7.2_H5/
If the user trys to drag the answer on an iPad 2 the TOC menu also appears from the left of the screen. This seems to be a problem related to gestures.
Does anyone know of a way to solve the problem or is this something that Adobe has to fix?
Thanks,
Richard

Flash Drag and Drop interaction

I have created a Flash SWF with a drag and drop interacation.
Previewed in Flash, it works perfectly; the mc object can be picked
up, and locks on the target when released, and dynamic text
displays to tell the user that the match is right.
When imported into Captivate, the swf appears to be a static
file. Nothing can be moved.
I redid it using older actionscript allowing it to be
exported as a Flash v6 file; in this version, the mc object can be
moved, but does not lock on the target when dropped, and the
dynamic text box is blank.
Both Flash and Captivate are CS3.
Is this simply not compatible in Captivate? Searching for
help on drag and drop isn't helpful because it brings up info
relative to the drag and drop quiz, which is not what I need; this
file is dragging and dropping images.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I don't know how much help it will be but you should check
out
this
link to a page at Paul Dewhurst's web-site "RaisingAimee". You
may not be able to get to that page until you register as a user on
Paul's site. If you run into that, register, then try the link
again.
If this is any help to you, drop a few pieces-of-eight in
Paul's PayPal account, and maybe send him a personal "thank you" on
his Shout Box. If it doesn't work, it might be because those
particular FLAs were created for version 1, as I remember, and may
be to some extent version-specific. In any case, it might be worth
a try.
~best wishes for your success,
Larry

Drag and Drop not being recorded properly.

I'm a fairly experienced Captivate user using version 3.0. I am trying to record some drag and drop activity in an Oracle application and I just can't get it to work. To be clear, I am NOT trying to create a drag and drop quiz question (so please don't tell me how to create drag and drop quiz questions, I already know how). I am trying to record the dragging of an icon from one area within the app to another (the actual visual drag). Whether I set the video to record full motion or trigger full motion recording with F9 (and stop it with F10), all I get is the initial click of the object and then the object after it has been set down in it's new location. The actual drag of the object isn't recorded. I checked my Flash player - it's version 9. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Hi there
First, I'd suggest performing what I call a simple "sanity check". This should reveal to you whether the issue is with Captivate generically or if it's just that Captivate has issues with this one application.
So try this. Open Captivate and minimize all apps. Then record dragging an icon from one location to another on your desktop. If Captivate doesn't record that properly, you have a Captivate issue. If it does, you know it's an issue with the application and the way it interacts with Captivate. In that case you need to consider other avenues. Perhaps use something like Camtasia Studio or Jing to capture, save as SWF and drop it where you need it in Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

Xul drag and drop function doesn't work Firefox 17 ESR but works in Firefox 10 ESR

I am having a problem with a xul drag and drop function designed for selenium rc and selenium IDE. It works in Firefox 10 ESR but does not work in Firefox 17 ESR.
the code used for the draganddrop function is added below:
Selenium.prototype.doXulDragAndDropToObject = function(locatorStartElement, locatorEndElement) {
var startElement = this.page().findElement(locatorStartElement);
if (startElement.wrappedJSObject) {
startElement = startElement.wrappedJSObject;
var endElement = this.page().findElement(locatorEndElement);
if (endElement.wrappedJSObject) {
endElement = endElement.wrappedJSObject;
var dropValue;
var startTreerow = getAncestorsByTagName(startElement, 'treerow')[0];
var treeCells = startTreerow.children;
for(var i=0; i<treeCells.length; i++) {
var val = treeCells[i].getAttribute('value');
if(val) {
dropValue = JSON.parse(val);
if(dropValue) {
endElement.drop(dropValue);
The is the error message I received when the draganddrop fails in FireFox 17 ESR:

firefox selenium-rc selenium-ide

hello, your question conatins a few issues...
*if you want to use the regular release version (firefox 18.0.2 at the moment) and not a beta version, then please download the setup file from getfirefox.com & install it on top of your current installation
*when there is a folder named "old firefox data" on your desktop, then you've done a [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset of firefox]] which had reset most of your preferences to the factory default & removed all extensions. if you want to revert that, go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information'' and click on ''profile folder/show folder''. a windows explorer window should open up. now close all open firefox windows and replace all the contents of your current profile folder with the data that is stored inside the "old firefox data" folder on your desktop.
*the plugin check website isn't working at the moment - so the problem you're seeing here isn't on your end. hopefully this will be fixed soon on the server-side...

Drag and Drop in JSP

Hi all,
I want to add drag and drop facilities in my JSP pages such as i have two frames in a page and i want to drag a text or ms word file to the other frame. How can i do that.
Also, i have 5 different versions of of an MS word document in database. I want to use '+' or '-' sign to show all the versions of the document. For example, when a person first visit the page it will show the latest version of the document with a '+' sign on the left of the document so if i click that it will expand like it does in windows so i can see other versions. I know it is critical but can anyone please have any idea.
Thanks very much
