How do I add interactive objects to a quiz slide?

Hello, I'm having a Captivate 5 problem and can't seem to find an answer on the web or in the forums. I'm creating a quiz in which I'd like to ask multiple choice questions. For each answer option I'd like the user to be able to click on something - the answer text, an additional image, something - that would open a web page in a separate browser tab or window. That new window would contain information related to the linked answer option. This way the users can assess the relevance of each option in relation to the question.
I've tried using the "Advanced Answer Option" option but that only opens a window when the answer is submitted. Before I sat down to do this I was thinking I'd just add image buttons on the page, but it turns out that I can't add buttons, text inputs and several other options in a quiz slide.
If anyone has any ideas on how to work around this I'd really appreciate hearing them. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hi Steve, thanks so much for the quick reply!
The Button Widget does the job admirably, I can add it in and even make it invisible with the alpha setting so it appears that an image is the actual link. Totally lets me do what I wished!
Thanks again!
Dave

How do you add a video clip to a slide show?

How do you add a video clip to a slide show using elements 12?

You can import some very short video clips into Photoshop and make gifs. I can import short (10 second or so) .mvi video clips I've taken with my point and shoot camera.
Use File ->Import->Video Frames to Layers
CS3 doesn't recognize .mvi files until you enter *.* in the box, hit load, then find the file you want.
After the file has been loaded, go to Windows, and check Animation.
After the Animation bar loads, go to the right side arrow, check Make Frames from Layers.
Then Save for Web and Devices, and you've got your gif.
I find it much easier to use the separate software.

Why can't I change an Interaction ID on a quiz slide?

Using Captivate 6, I can't change the Interaction ID on the quiz slides. I have resaved as a new file, unchecked "Report Answers", but nothing helps. It keeps going back to old numbers. HELP please!

I figured out what may be causing your issue
DO NOT delete a question slide if its interaction id is something you want to use. First change it to something completely pointless like "fdjsdgjkfds".
For some reason, when you delete a question slide with an interaction id (let's say "1"), that interaction id becomes unavailable to any and all slides both present and future (now "1" is unavailable to ALL slides as an interaction id).
Example:
Let's say we duplicated a slide with interaction id "QuizQuestion01". Now we want to take that interaction id and apply it to the new slide but we cant, because its one id to a slide and the slide that was just duplicated still uses it. So we delete the old slide thinking it has freed up "QuizQuestion01" to apply to the new slide. Nope, i'm afraid the slide we just deleted took "QuizQuestion01" with it.
It is as though the slide still exists somewhere in captivate, so captivate keeps trying to tell you that there is still a slide with that interaction id. Possibly the solution lies in finding where captivate is storing that information regarding individual files and their question slides/interaction id's.
So, unfortunately this isnt a cure, but a preventative measure to avoid the problem.
When you are going to delete a question slide, change the interaction id first to something you would never use.

How Can I add a object to the scene Graph ??

Hi all!
I have set up a 3d scene Graph. Now I want to add a object (for example,a cone) to the scene Graph. How can I do ???
thanks in advance!

Hi,
if you want to add your cone to a branchgroup "mainbranchgroup", you have to set mainbranchgroup.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_WRITE) while creating this branchgroup (and before compiling the scene).
Then, when you want to add the cone, you just have to add a child to the mainbranchgroup.
I hope that helps.

How do you add an object to a collection typed witha wildcard?

Hi All,
I want to add an object to a collection typed with a wildcard but I can't figure out how to do it.
I've been thru the generics tutorial again and I now understand that I can't do exactly what I want to and why. However I don't know how to do it right. I copy some code below to show the problem:
private List<? extends HasCriteria> dataList;
private HasCriteria dataObject;
public HasCriteria getDataObject() {
        return dataObject;
public List<? extends HasCriteria> getCollection() {
        if(dataList==null){
            refreshDataCollection();
        return dataList;
   }/*I want to be able to do the add() below but the generics tutorial assures me, as does the compiler, that I can't. So how do I get an object into the collection?? */
public void create(){
getCollection().add(getDataObject());
}/*I don't understand why I can do this setCollection() call below as the compiler has no idea that the resultList is of type HasCriteria, however I accept that it is ok with this*/
protected <T extends HasCriteria> void setCollection(Collection<T> m) {
            dataList = new ArrayList<T>(m) ;
            for(HasCriteria t: dataList){
                t.setStatus(HasCriteria.Status.SAVED);
public void refreshDataCollection(String jpaQL, List modelParameters){
            Query q = em.createQuery(jpaQL);
            List rl = q.getResultList();
            if(rl != null){
                setCollection(rl);
                setModelQuery(jpaQL, modelParameters);
}

class GenGen <K extends Shape> {
private List<K> dataList;
private K dataObject;
public K getDataObject() {
    return dataObject;
public List<K> getCollection() {
    if(dataList==null){
      //refreshDataCollection();
    return dataList;
public void create(){
    getCollection().add(getDataObject());
protected void setCollection(Collection<K> m) {
    dataList = new ArrayList<K>(m) ;
    for(Shape t: dataList){
      // t.setStatus(HasCriteria.Status.SAVED);
public void refreshDataCollection(String jpaQL, List modelParameters){
    List rl = null;
    setCollection(rl);
}Note that in that final setCollection, you'll get an unchecked conversion warning, if you haven't turned them off.

Using ps elements 9, how do i add an object from 1 photo to another

how do i add a person from 1 photo to a group of people in another photo (using elements 9)

Open photo B, the one that you want to add an object to. Minimize this.
Open Photo A, and using one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, make a selection of the object that is to be transferred to B. You will see "marching ants" when the selection is complete.
Go to Edit menu>copy to place the selection on the clipboard
Go back to photoB
Go to Edit>paste
With the move tool, position the object and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box.

How to add click box/button to QUIZ slides??

We have a basic quiz for our online course. At the top of the
quiz we have a navigation bar with next, back, main menu, help, etc
which we use a click box to make link.
However, when we're on a quiz slide the click box and button
option are grayed out. You can't access them at all. How can we fix
this?? We HAVE to have the top navigation be functional as it is
for the rest of the slides. Help!

I'm having the same general problem you are.
I got this response a few days ago:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=464&threadid=1374767
Its a little different question but I think the answer can be
applied to both: Its not in the program to allow users to fully
customize question slides. Unfortunate, but a reality I guess.

How dod I add eduperson object class to OpenDirectory

I have modified /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
include /etc/openldap/schema/eduperson.schema
and place the eduperson.schema in the schema directory
restarted
but I do not have access to the eduperson object class nor the attributes.
What is the best way to add an objectclass to OS X Opendirectory?
Thanks

Hi,
There could be several ways. For instance, you can try to modify .*-pre ..*-post targets in your App/Makefile file.
Or you can create probe as file in project with "Custom Build Tool" and specify build command
Additional object files to link you should specify in linker options of Project Properties

How can I add interactivity to a StringItem with appearance mode HYPERLINK

Hi Everyone,
I have BB 8520 Curve Smartphone. I have installed apps like facebook and gmail on it. I found that it can show the StringItem with appearance mode HYPERLINK and BUTTON. User can directly go to it and press the optical touch button, which directly can open next form of an application without opening the command menu.
In the same way, I want StringItems with appearance mode HYPERLINK in my midlet, should invoke the command directly without opening the menu with various commands, when I press the optical touch button of the device. But actually, it opens the menu when I click on the StringItem.
On my form, I am showing 3 StringItems with appearance mode HYPERLINK, as
1. Quiz 1
2. Quiz 2
3. Quiz 3
User should be able to go to respective forms of an application directly by clicking these links [they are NOT actual web links]. When my cursor is on any of these links, and when I click the optical mouse button of the device, it is opening the menu with command "open selected quiz".
I hope you got my point. Please give me suggestions to achieve interactivity. Best Regards.

I had the same problem to realize a touchscreen button. I also tried to use a StringItem to show a Button or Hyperlink on the display (for my Nokia 5230 touchscreen phone).
So I create a StringItem with type Item.Button or Item.HYPERLINK and a command:
StringItem button = new StringItem(null, "Test", Item.BUTTON);
form.append(button);
Command buttonCommand = new Command("Action", Command.SCREEN, 1); The thing is, when I use button.addCommand(buttonCommand); then the command action is not directly executed when I click on that button. I have to click on the command in the menu to do that.
But when I use button.setDefaultCommand(buttonCommand); then the action is directly executed when I click on the button. That works on my Nokia and you should try that on your BB.
So the code would be like this (or the same for Item.HYPERLINK):
StringItem button = new StringItem(null, "Button", Item.BUTTON);
Command buttonCommand = new Command("Buttonclick", Command.ITEM, 1);
button.setDefaultCommand(buttonCommand);
button.setItemCommandListener(this);
public void commandAction(Command c, Item i){
      if(i == button){
            display.setCurrent(new Alert("Button", "Button clicked!", null, AlertType.INFO));
} Another solution I tried is to create my own button class that extends CustomItem and reacts on touchscreen events in the function pointerPressed(int x, int y). So I have a button class like this:
public class Button extends CustomItem {
    private String text;
    public Button(String text){
        super("");
        this.text = text;
    protected void paint(Graphics g, int w, int h){
        //.... draw button ...
        g.drawString(text, x, y, Graphics.LEFT | Graphics.TOP);
    // ... other functions
    // button click event
    protected void pointerPressed(int x, int y){
        notifyStateChanged();
}And in the calling class I use something like this:
private Button button = new Button("Test");
form.append(button);
form.setItemStateListener(this);
public void itemStateChanged(Item item){
        if (item == button){
              // button was clicked, execute your button action here
}

Add interactive sound to a question slide

Hello every one
I need to do something really simple
to a multiple choice question
I need to add a recorded voice that will appear just when users click on the icon
many times as the user needs...
then they will be able to anwer the question that I need...
for example in this pictures you can see both choices
I need that when users click on the speaker icon the sound will be played
( maybe using this system I lose the option of shifting answers because the
icons with their respective sound will be located all the time in the same place.
but I will be able to make the interaction sound- question- answer )
or if some of you have a better option please ...
Best Regards
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
If you want to attach sound to a click box, and only to start the sound when the cb is clicked, attach it to the Success caption of the click box.

How do I add a different title to each slide in a LR3 slideshow?

This question has been asked, but for some reason I cannot access it. Thanks!

John,
You add a distinct title and/or caption for each photo in the metadata panel and then reference these metadata fields in the slide show with a text field.
