Failure attempts for click boxes

Question

I am curious as if there is a way to create failure attempts for click boxes, the same way they are available for question slides?
Thanks,
Judy

Answer 1

Here is a possible work flow:
Created 3 click boxes, same size, same location (is only possible in CP6, forgot to ask the version you are using): CB_1, CB_2, CB_3 Only the first of them is visible, visibility checked off for CB_2 and CB_3
Click boxes have 1 attempt, the default action for Success 'Go to Next Slide' is OK; for After Last Attempt I created a standard advanced action for each click box: Fail1, Fail2, Fail3
Have an initially invisible text container Failure12 that will show up for the two first failures. I had the text 'Please again, attempt $$v_counter$$' That user variable v_counter would indicate the number of the attempt, perhaps not necessary?
For the last, third failure I created a group 'Last' of two initially invisible objects one text container with the incorrect message and a Next button (so that the incorrect caption can be read and then the user clicks on the button)
Fail1 action, triggered by CB_1:
Expression v_counter = v_counter + 1            if you do not need the counter, skip this, it will result for Fail1 in a value 1
Show Failure12                                            the text container with the guide text
Hide CB_1
Show CB_2                                                  so the first click box is disabled and the second will become functional
Fail2 action, triggered by CB_2:
Expression v_counter = v_counter + 1            if you do not need the counter, skip this, it will result for Fail2 in a value 2
Hide CB_2
Show CB_3                                                  so the second click box is disabled and the third will become functional
Fail3 action, triggered by CB_3:
Hide CB_3
Hide Failure12
Show Last                                                    this is the group with the incorrect caption and the Next button
Writing out this answer took me more time than creating the actions in Captivate. Hope it makes sense?
