Hide Quiz Continue button until all failed attempts

Hello!
I am using Captivate 8 and have a quiz that allows 3 failed attempts. It is set to jump to a slide if they pass and a different one if they fail. These work fine using the continue button.
There is a retake and continue button.
However, the continue button shows on the quiz results slide on the first and second failed attempt. If the user clicks this - the quiz is over - no more attemtps allowed (no playback bar if that would make a difference).
The instructions say on teh failed attempts, "...if the retake button is showing, click it, otherwise, click continue."
How can I hide the continue button on the first 2 failed attempts?
I've been searching blogs and the answer may be out there - I'm just not piecing it together. I created an if/else statement to jump to the appropriate slide based on the quiz % scored, but it then bypasses the quiz results.
I know there's a way!!
Thank you for any advice!!
Sherry

Please don't apologize Lilybiri! Your input is ALWAYS appreciated
Thank you for hte suggestion! In this instance, I want the continue button to show after no more retakes so layering it behind the Retake button worked well.
The funny thing is by answering my own question I may have got my first 10 points!
I learn so much from all of you experts - I am very grateful for the time each of you puts in and for all your sharing and help!!

How can you hide a Continue button until all clickboxes are clicked?

I have seen similar questions to this one, but none seemed to be the exact situation as mine.
What I have: Several images on a screen. When a user clicks an image it is replaced with another image. I am using clickboxes for this task. I do not wish for them to toggle back and forth. Once they click the original image it should stay changed.
What I am trying to do: Once a learner clicks all the images (in no particular order) a Continue button appears that allows them to go to the next screen.
If anyone has some suggestions on this situation please let me know, thanks.

I cannot log in on the forum for the moment, so will try by answering by
mail. I was aware of that problem (have presented those solutions so
often), thought that since you left all images visible once the click box
was clicked it wouldn't be a problem.
Two possible solutions:
   1. Easiest one: add a statement in the Always decision that will Hide
   the click box just clicked. It has no sense to click it another time. That
   will mean that you still can do it with a shared action but that shared
   action will have two parameters now, the second one being the click box
   that has to adapted on each application of the shared action.
   2. If you don't want to make the click box hidden (which means at the
   same time disabled), you'll need a user variable for each click box,
   starting with a default value of 0, and toggle it in the Decision 'Always'
   to 1. The second decision will then need a condition that checks the value
   of all the user variables (with AND) and shows the Next button only when
   all variables have the value of 1.
Sorry, but have to mail, cannot offer a screenshot in that case.

Forward Button Not Available Until All Buttons Clicked in Slide

I'm attempting to create a slide where several buttons or rollover slidelets are available to the user. Each button/slidelet will need to be viewed before they are able to continue to the next slide.
For example, the slide has 3 button/slidelets on it which each represent a word. Each button/slidelet would need to be clicked before the user could proceed to the next slide.
How can I disable the forward button functionality on the playbar until each of the buttons/slidelets have been viewed?
Version : Captivate 4
Publishing : HTML

Hi there
There are a few different ways this might be accomplished. If your goal is to remain entirely in Captivate, you might consider configuring an Advanced Action to do the work for you. You could reposition the playhead upon entering the next slide based on a variable you set.
Alternatively, you could hide the Playback Controls until all the elements have been interacted with.

How do you make the "Continue" button exit project on quiz attempt results page

When the project quiz is finished, on the quiz results slide it has a continue button to press, but seems worthless since it just turns into a black screen when finished instead of closing the project like you think it should. Any suggestions on how to make that button close the project?

Closing projects only works reliably when publishing to EXE format. Web browser security often prevents HTM/SWF content windows from being closed in the same way.
Try placing a slide AFTER your quiz results slide so that the Continue button has somewhere to go to. Then change your Preferences > Project > Start and End > Project End Options > Action to Close Project. This way, the project is trying to close down naturally, not as a result of clicking a button. You can make this final slide as short as you like, but a second or so is usually good just in case you have Preferences set to Fade Out On Last Slide.

Inconsistent Continue button function when Retake Quiz button is present

Hi, I am using Captivate 4 on a Win7 computer. My problem is this. I have setup a 10 question quiz at the end of my module. On the results page (slide 37), I have a Review Quiz button, a Retake Quiz button, and a Continue button. The user can retake the quiz if she/he likes, but, regardless of whether the user passes or fails the quiz, they are to hit the "Continue" button which should jump to one of two slides (slide 38 for "Congratulations" or slide 39 for "Sorry, you did not pass") and then it is to automatically continue to the next slide that says "Thank you" (slide 40) and then the Captivate module is to close automatically. That's what is supposed to happen, and some of it does. However, here's what does happen. If the user passes the quiz and clicks the "Continue" button, everything works perfectly. But, if the user fails the quiz and clicks the "Continue" button - nothing happens. The "Continue" button fails to work. You click on "Continue" and nothing happens. It just stays on the results page. The slider does not advance either. However, if I delete the "Retake Quiz" button, then the "Continue" button works perfectly whether the user passes or fails. What is the fix here? I'm guessing you might need more information. I'l supply what I think might be relevant, below.
The progression:
Slides 27 - 36 : 10 slides of quiz question (one question per slide)
Slide 37 : Results page
Slide 38 : "Congratulations" slide for passing
Slide 39 : "Sorry, you did not complete this course..." slide for failing
Slide 40 : "Thank you."
Preferences/Quiz/Pass or Fail :
If passing grade: Action: Jump to slide 38
If failing grade: Allow user: 2 attempts
Show Retake Button is checked
Action: Jump to slide 39
Preferences/Quiz/Settings :
Pass Required - the user maust pass this quiz to continue
Thank you. Please let me know if you need any more information.

D. Sharma,
Hi, sorry, all this time when you were saying "it" I thought you were referring to the Captivate module that includes the quiz. I didn't realize you were referring to the quiz alone.
Here's what I have: the module contains the quiz in it. In other words, the quiz was created in Captivate and is part of the module. The problem I described happens whether the module (with the quiz in it) is published locally or on the LMS. It makes no difference. The problem persists.
Sorry for the misunderstanding,
Jorge G.

CP5 and Continue button on quiz results

Is there a way to delay the appearance of the continue button? We have a submit quiz results button on the screen too that they are instructed to select first, but I'm sure some impatient person will hit continue before vCP5 can complete sending the popup for the student to complete to send the results.
Susan

The buttons on the Quiz Results slide are on hidden layers that you cannot reorder via the timeline. These layers are above any other object that you add to the slide (e.g. a highlight box intended to hide the button until you want it seen).
I often hide the Review Quiz button underneath the Retake Quiz button on my projects so that the user has to pass the quiz before they can Review the Quiz. This works because the Retake Quiz button seems to be on the very top layer.
From what I see, the order is:
Retake Quiz - very top
Review Quiz - second from top
Continue - third from top
Unfortunately this may not help you much unless you want to force all users to Review the Quiz and exit the course another way.
You cannot add other interactive objects like buttons or clickboxes or interactive widgets to the Quiz Results slide. But you can add Static Widgets. So in theory you could make the Continue button invisible by moving it off stage or turning it into a transparent button and then use the Static Widget button that comes with Cp to move beyond the Quiz Results slide. Even though it's only a Static Widget this button still allows you to execute one of the standard actions normally reserved for Interactive objects.

Can we remove the Continue button from Quiz Results?

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way to remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page?
I have a captivate file in which there is a Thank you slide at the end after the Quiz results slide. Now, here's the problem - The user is just finishing the quiz and closing the browser tab - which is not showing the completion status inside LMS. The user must need to view the Thank you slide - so that the LMS can respond as "Completed" status.
Now, I want to remove the Continue button on Quizzes result slide so that user doesnot need to go ahead to next slide to complete the course. And i will put the Thank You message here in Quizzes result slide only.
Can I remove the continue button from the Quiz Results page so that it can be the last slide?
Regards
Vikas Sharma

Removing the Continue button from the Quiz Results slide is NOT a good idea in my experience. Clicking the Continue button triggers functions in Captivate to terminate the quiz and commit the score to the LMS. If this button is not clicked, Captivate may not be sure the person has decided they're done with the quiz and wants their score to be captured by the LMS at that point. There are often other buttons on the Quiz Results slide to offer the user the option of Retaking or Reviewing the Quiz. Only the Continue button is designed to take them further beyond the Quiz Result slide.
Like yourself, I have also found learners often fail to grasp the importance of the Continue button and don't realise they need to do something extra (beyond reaching the Quiz Results slide) in order for their score to be captured. So what I usually do is rename the Continue button to something more meaningful such as: Register Your Score, or Record Quiz Results Now. Having a name like this (and making the button nice and large and bold so that it's not easy to miss) clearly tells people that they need to click this button if they want their score to be retained. It's just a simple change, but it practically eliminated all issues we had with people just closing down their browser when they saw the Quiz Results.

How do I get the Continue button on the Quiz Results page to work?

I found an older discussion about this topic and tried everything suggested. My colleague and I have been researching this issue and have yet to find the answer. Does anyone out there have the solution?

Maybe yesterday you succeeded, passed. In that case the Continue button will work, because it triggers the action that you specified in the Quiz Preferences (Continue). But if you fail, you are stuck on the Results slide, because the Continue action for Failed will only be done after the attempts are exhausted. Why did you create an extra slide? You can edit the Results slide, but please, keep the buttons that are embedded in that slide because they provide the functionality that you need.
You can add a shape button to the Score slide if you want an extra button to retake the course. I hope you are using CP6 or later?

Continue button in Quiz Results not working.

On the Quiz Results page, if someone clicks the Continue button, it does nothing no matter pass or fail. I have these settings:
Slides 55 and 44 do exist. Any ideas?

Hi RodWard,
Okay, your question was helpful in that it helped me find some things out. First, continue works if passed, it just takes 5-7 seconds to get there. I fixed that.
Changing the Required to "Answer All" instead of "Pass Required" fixed the Continue on the fail. Thanks so much!

Problems with quiz "continue" and "review" buttons in presenter presentation sent to connect pro

I have a training module, built in powerpoint, modified with Presenter, and posted to Connect Pro on Adobe's server. The post quiz has 10 questions, and when the final score page displays, it gives the user the options to "Continue" or to "Review Quiz". The Continue button should take the user either to the next slide OR to the beginning of the presentation depending if their score was passing or not. The Review Quiz button shows the user the quiz question slides, but to advance to subsequent slides, the user needs to use the "forward" buttons on the play bar.
My questions:
Even though I have set the quiz to allow up to 10 tries, there is no way to retake the quiz. Am I missing something?
I looked at the infite tries option, but it wouldn't let me designate where to go next.
If the user clicks the "review quiz" button first, when they return to the score summary page, the "continue" button doesn't work.
How can I configure so the user can "retake" the quiz?
I appreciate any thoughts or solutions to these issues.
Angel T

Hi,
Even though I have set the quiz to allow up to 10 tries, there is no way to retake the quiz. Am I missing something?
To retake the quiz , user have to go to the beginning of the quiz using the TOC.
or
The author may put a button say "Retake" on the result slide which takes the user to the beginning of the quiz.
or
In the quiz settings, set the options: If failing grade n attempts and go to slide which marks the beginning of the Quiz.
I looked at the infite tries option, but it wouldn't let me designate where to go next.
If the nymber of attemts is infinite, the default setting is goto next slide. You may change it by selecting the continue button on the slide. Go to Actions, and set the hyperlink
If the user clicks the "review quiz" button first, when they return to the score summary page, the "continue" button doesn't work
This should work. Could you please mail me a sample presentation which sees this issue ? Mail me at [email protected]
How can I configure so the user can "retake" the quiz?
The first question have the answer for this also.
Let me know if you need any further help.
Thanks,

Continue button on Quiz Results slide not working...

Hi there,
Having some significant difficulties in Captivate 3 recently
- but this one appears to be a deal breaker...
The continue button which appears at the bottom of the quiz
results page doesn't work - as in, it doesn't do a thing even
though in preferences I've set pass/fail preference for it to jump
to different slides depending on success or failure. I have tried,
literally, everything I can think of but it refuses to work.
Anyone got any suggestions? I would be over the moon if I
could get this working.
Thanks in advance.
J

Hi J
Sorry that didn't seem to work for you. Hopefully someone
else will see it and maybe chime in with a suggestion.
Until that happens, you (as well as anyone else seeing this
behavior) should report it to Adobe as a bug.

Apps locked / frozen and on going to setting and rest it asks for pass code. Use standard one that I use all the time and it states 1 failed attempt. I have not forgotten pass ode as I use it 20 times a day. Over 70 years of age so make the response simpl

The 3 apps required updating but they have frozen. Did not realise this until Candy Crush froze. Went to reset and it asked for pass code. I entered standard code and it stated one failed attempt. I may be over 70 years of age but have not forgotten pass code!! I hope that the solution is simple!!

If your iPad was used by another person in the past, it may be asking for their passcode.
If your iPad has been synced with a computer before, restoring with your computer should fix it now.
Read all directions.

Continue Button on Quiz Results Slide NOT Working Properly

I'm experiencing a functionality issue with the "Continue"
button on the Quiz Results slide:
Situation 1: After initially completing the quiz, I need to
click the "Continue" button on the Quiz Results slide only once to
advance to the next (and last) slide in the quiz movie. This is
fine & works as I would expect.
Situation 2: After initially completing the quiz, if instead
I choose to review the quiz, later when I get to the Quiz Results
slide, I need to click the "Continue" button TWICE to advance to
the next (and last) slide in the quiz movie. This does NOT work as
I would expect.
Any idea why only 1 click is needed in the Situation 1 while
2 clicks are needed in Situation 2? Any way to fix Situation 2 so
that only 1 click is needed?
Thanks much!

CapManZ,
Whether the Continue button on the Quiz Results slide
requires one or two clicks is mysterious indeed. See
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=67&catid=464&threadid =1302278
for another discussion about its misbehavor.
Actually, the number of clicks required depends on how long
you wait after the Quiz Results slide appears, prior to clicking
the Continue button. In your situation 1 you probably answered
questions rather than using the skip button, so you viewed the
question slides for a while prior to arriving at results. In your
situation 2 you probably used the Skip button to zip through the
slides to return to the results screen. Try this. In situation 2,
when you get to the Quiz Results slide, instead of clicking the
Continue button, go get a cuppa joe and then see if a single click
will work. If so please let me know.
I've experimented with a Captivate 2 multiple choice quiz in
a slide show that contained only 10 questions and the Results
slide. I added a text caption with fade in and fade out enabled
(the default) to the Results slide. I found that after the caption
fades in, one click on the continue button advances the slide. So I
used the caption's appearance to help measure the timing.
In the tests below I skipped as rapidly as possible, pausing
at various slides to see how it affected the single click
threshold.
Skip all slides: 28 sec
View slide 1 for 60 sec and then skip: 28 sec
Skip to slide 5, pause 30 sec, and then skip: 13 sec
Skip to slide 10, pause 30 sec, and then skip: 2-3 sec
Answer each slide (took more than 30 sec): 2-3 sec
Skip all slides, click Continue as fast as possible: 2-3 sec
I also reduced the number of question slides in the quiz and
skipped all slides.
7 questions: 18 sec
3 questions: 7 sec
I believe the threshold value (the duration required before
clicking the Continue button advances to the next slide) is
composed of two durations which add together to determine the
threshold. The Result's slide's timeline probably sets the
threshold's lower limit. Clicks prior to 3 seconds are ignored.
Time per slide and number of slides left to go sets the upper limit
for the threshold. The slower the movement, the lower the
threshold.
Several conclusions:
This probably isn't a situation in which the first click is
ignored. Instead the first click reduces the threshold's value to
the lower limit. The second click would then typically occur after
3 additional seconds, particularly if the user is surprised that
the first click didn't work and pauses slightly. A very fast
additional click on the Continue button is ignored as well.
Long quizzes will cause more complaints about the issue
because of what you experienced. It typically takes longer to
answer the quiz than review it.
Perhaps there's a workaround that would alert the user that
the Continue button is ready for clicking. I'm thinking that since
the text caption fade-in coincides with being ready to continue, an
image or the like might do the trick. Any suggestions out there?
Humm, a better alternative might be to show some images of
snacks on the results slide background. Through suggestive selling,
the user realizes it's time for a break and clicks Continue after
returning with that cuppa joe. And the sound you hear? It's the
Captivate developers giggling if they read my conclusions. Too bad
they're mum, since some real info might make it easier to make
Captivate behave. Ah well.

Continue button on Quiz Results Slide not working Captivate 7

I have the Quiz Settings set to Continue when the user passes the quiz. However, when the user clicks the Continue button on the Quiz Results Slide, nothing happens. I want the user to be able to continue to the next (and final!) slide in the project. The timing for the Quiz Results slide is set to be active for 7 seconds. Umm, suggestions for a fix? Thanks. This problem has been driving me nuts since I'm so close to finishing!

I changed the timing on the results slide back down to being active for 1.5 seconds so that's what will show up in the screen shot below. I also included a screen shot for the Pass/Fail settings. Thanks.
