Infosemantics Drag and Drop Interactive widget

I’ve added the Infosemantics Drag and Drop Interactive widget to my project, but it only works after publishing via a computer and not on an iPad. I published using both SWF and HTML5 so it “should” work. The HTML tracker for that slide does not list any unsupported slides or objects. If this widget is not compatible with the iPad, is the new Captivate drag and drop feature available for Subscription and ASA customers work on an iPad? If so, is there a student rate for either a Subscription or ASA? Thanks so much.

The drag&drop wizard in 6.1 is easy to use, but doesn't have all the functionality that you find in the InfoSemantics Interactive widget. Just want to warn you. I am using both: for simple Drag&Drop I'll use the wizard, but as an example to create a custom matching or sequence question slide I need InfoSemantics widget, that is not possible with the 6.1 D&D.

Who'd like to test a new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget?

It's taken about 6 months of every spare minute we could find but we're finally ready to do a round of Alpha testing for our new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget for Cp4 and 5. This post is to ask for a handful of volunteers to test the new widget over the next week creating drag and drop interactions in both Cp4 and Cp5.
If you've already tried our well-known Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget, but were a bit frustrated by the limitations that the quiz question format placed on your creativity, we think you'll be blown away by what this new Interactive Widget can do. It does everything the current question widget does, aside from the aspects that are unique to question types (Review Area, Retake Quiz, etc) plus a whole lot more. Due to the extra functionality, this widget has twice as much code as our last one.
Some of the features:
You can have as many widgets as you want on a single slide and each can be addressing a different drag and drop scenario.
You can reference the same drag and target objects from different widgets to create different.
Since they are interactive widgets, you can use the widget success/failure criteria to trigger Advanced Actions. This opens up a lot of possibilities for game interactions.
You can score each widget differently so that OnSuccess they will each report different scores for dragging the same objects. This means you can have Conditional Scoring and more than one correct answer for a given problem.
You can set one of the widgets to have its Preferences be used for all widgets on the slide so that you don't need to set all widget preferences individually, thus saving a lot of time.
You can set Preference Priority for each widget to configure which widgets will have "right of way" if there is a potential conflict in preferences. For example, if one widget wants one type of snapping behaviour on an object but another widget wants the same object to snap differently, the widget with the higher Preference Priority will dominate.
You can nominate other interactive objects (including clickboxes or other widgets) to act as Submit button and Clear button to create a simulated quiz question.
Since this widget is an Interactive widget, it also has the same advanced Pausing override behaviours we built into our Event Handler widget (http://www.infosemantics.com.au/eventhandler) So you can have users stay on the same slide playing with the drag and drop interaction for as long as they like without progressing to the next slide until they want to.
Plus other stuff I can't think of right now.
If you decide to volunteer to participate in this Alpha testing, please don't use this widget for any production Captivate projects you may have. The Alpha and Beta versions of the widget will be time-bombed to stop working after a couple of weeks so that we don't have buggy versions running around later.
As I said at the beginning, we only need a handful of testers, we need people using either Cp4 or Cp5, and you need to do this testing over the next week so that we can then address any issues you find and release a debugged Beta version for more testing.
Anyone wanna play?
If you do want to volunteer, send me a private message on this forum with your email address so I can send you a widget and instructions. We'll only be taking the first dozen or so people that are willing to contribute time and feedback.
Cheers,
Rod Ward

Drag and Drop Interaction with 50+ Drop Targets

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Captivate 7 but very familiar with Flash. I'm tasked with a project that I would like to do with the drag and drop interaction widget from Captivate 7. Basically, we need our learners to identify the locations of our resorts on a map. Select the name of the resort, drag and drop it in the city/state or country where located. My question is can Captivate handle this task? To me, it seems as a large task for Captivate to handle, and so I was thinking of coding it in Flash.
Here is what I need:
1.- List of all the properties at bottom with the drop target being a map of the US or world and have the location for each property as the drop target.
2.- When the resort/property is selected, the name will change to the three letter code. Example: New York City, when clicked = NYC and the map itself to reflect the 3 letter code once dropped on the map if correct.
3. If incorrect, the listed item will revert to the long name and return to the list.
4. If this can be graded, it would be best.
I can break the project into different regions but if I wanted to keep all 300+ properties in one module, will it be an issue? At the very least, I would need to do a minimum of about 50 per module.
Thanks all! I've found this forum to be extremely helpful and the members seem to be eager to help.

var matchingTargetName:String =(event.target.name).substring(0, 1);
Change the name of the target to A and B and the mc A1, A2, A3, A4... and B1, B2,B3...

AS2 Drag and Drop interactive exercise widget - Captivate 4

Hello,
I need an Actionscript 2 widget to create drag and drop exercises. Can anyone tell me where I can find a good one?
Thanks!

Is there a specific reason why you can't output your project to AS3?
If you can use AS3 there are two Infosemantics Drag and Drop widgets you can choose from.
I don't know of any drag and drop widgets in AS2.

Can drag and drop interactions created in Captivate 6.1 be exported to HTML5?

I need to convert some Flash drag and drop interactions to HTML5 and I'm looking at Captivate and Storyline.
Can drag and drop interactions created in Captivate 6.1 be exported to HTML5?
(I tried Captivate 6 with the drag and drop widget and that didn't work, and I can't find a trial version of 6.1).
Many thanks,
Sonya

Many thanks Lilybiri
I've just chatted to Adobe support and they have told me there is no educational discount for subscription I coudn't find the info on the website, so if anyone is interested, subscription is $29.99/month or $19.99/month if you sign up for a year.

Is it possible to add a drag and drop interaction to a called image in a contaner?

this forum is my last hope =( i know how to do drag and drop
by itself, however right now i have my flash set up so that when
you click BUTTON A, it does:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("photo1");
once it goes to "photo1", on that frame, i wrote actions on
the frame to:
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
myMCL.loadClip ("images/heritageBrochureFront.png",
"container_mc");
stop();
so it loads my picture into the container. my question, once
the image it in the container, can i add drag and drop interaction
to it? i would really love an easy solution.

yes. there are a couple of ways to do this.
one is the create a child movieclip of container_mc and load
into that child and assign your onPress/startDrag
onRelease/stopDrag methods to container_mc.
a second way is to load into container_mc (like you're
currently doing), wait until loading is complete (ie, use the
onLoad method of an mcl listener) and then assign your methods to
container_mc.

How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.

Drag and Drop Interaction Scoring

Hi-
I've created a drag and drop interaction for a quiz with four
objects. Each object has to match up to the correct spot in order
for the user to get the answer correct. I've done this type of
interactions before successfully and not had a problem with
scoring.
But this time .. the only thing I can see that's different
about this quiz is that I'm not assigning any points in the "Score"
field - I am instead using the Status of Correct Response alone.
I've found that this interaction scoring works perfectly for my
other quiz interactions but there seems to be a problem with the
drag and drop - when the user moves the objects around and
temporarily places an object in the wrong (or maybe even correct)
spot, each of these movements is being racked up as correct in this
interaction So, if there's an ambivalent user they're going to get
many more points than is even supposed to be possible.
I can't see anything different that I've done with this
interaction other than the scoring. I changed to correct response
scoring because it was the only way I could figure out how to reset
the quiz score after the user leaves and comes back. (using
TotalCorrect)
Anyway, I'm open to ideas - even if it's not the scoring -
any help would be appreciated!
Thanks -
Cammia

Don't use the quiz knowledge objects and code yourself...?
You'll find many on here who can help you with hand coding
and probably none
who know much about implementing those KO's who can answer
questions. The
reason is if you know enough to be able to answer questions,
you know enough
to know that these KO's are a short term crutch that cause
long term
problems.

Drag and Drop Interaction Wizard

I am having problems with the Drag and Drop Interaction Wizard. I am using Captivate (6.1) and when I launch the wizard I am able to select the drag objects and drop targets, but when I get to Step 3 (mapping), I am unable to map the drag sources to the drop targets. When I double click on the drag source and draw the arrow to the drop target, the arrow disappears.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do about it?

Hi,
You do not want to double click on the object in Step 3. All you need to do to map the source to destination, on the Green Items you would notice a '+' symbol, drag and put them on the drop item, you would able to map them easily that way, double clicking them would deselect the object.
For more clarification, what this video tutorial --

AS2 Drag and Drop Interaction help

I am trying to create a reusable template for a drag and drop interaction.
There are 7 drag objects, 7 targets.
Based on a scenario we develop (which of the 7 services [drag objects] are the best solution, for example), I would like to create interactions where some of the drag drop combinations are correct answers and dragging/dropping other combinations would result in an "incorrect" answer.
I am having issues with designating the correct and incorrect responses in the AS code, as well as how to provide the positive (correct answers) and negative (incorrect answers) feedback after a submit button is selected.
Additionaly, I have a reset button that does not function the way I expected - move the drag objects back to the start position and allow the user to resubmit an answer.
I am using Flash CS5, but need to use AS2 as the swf file is going to be inserted into an Articulate Presenter project (Articulate does not support AS3 yet).
Thank you for any assistance or suggestions!

Intuitive Drag and Drop interaction

Hi,
i am working on a drag and drop interaction with a direct feed-back built in. there are 6 dragables and 6 drop sources, which are rectangle smart shapes. depending on the answer which is dragged, i want an x or a check to appear next to the smart shape and then disappear if the answer is changed or the reset button is clicked. sofar i have assigned an advanced action to each drop source telling it to make an x or a check appear, depending on if the answer is correct or not. the problem is, that the x or the check stays in place after the answer has been substituted with another. I also tried assigning the the check or x with a fade in/fade out time, but that didn´t seem to work. i know the easy way is to just assign one correct answer to each drop source, but i want the interaction to be a bit more intuitive. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks!!!
-N

I am sorry i am not sure what the abbreviations AFAIK and IMO mean...At the moment i am trying to solve the problem using conditional actions. on the right are the dragables on the left the drop source. what i was trying was: if 1=1 (true) then show check, hide x else show x hide check (this is the script for inserting the correct answer) for all of the incorrect answers i wrote: if 1=1 (true) then show x, hide check else hide x show check...now i am not sure if this is completely wrong, but it seemed to work. the problem is, i would have to write this script for each drop source, making the corresponding x or check appear...is there a way to make a "global" script?

Drag and Drop interaction.

I really struggle with setting this up. The Finish button stays inactive. Is the a tutorial for this?
Kindly,
Jake

Have you mapped the source and targets? I think the button remains inactive until you map.
You can read more about it here. It also has some demos.

Drag and Drop Interaction Behavior

Hope someone can shed some light on this. Here is the setup:
Slide 10 upon successful drag and drop
      assign variable AnswerCorrect to 1, go to next slide
     If the drag and drop fails after 3 tries it goes to the next slide
Slide 11 - on enter
     Conditional action (I am using this to skip a dialogue box which is hidden if the previous slide had a correct answer). There is also a "continue" button at this point which is not currently hidden. Essentially I want to skip both the dialogue and continue if the previous answer was correct.
          If AnswerCorrect = 1
          Assign PlayHeadPosition (user variable) = to cpInfoCurrentFrame + 30 (I want to position the playhead 3 seconds into the slide)
          Assign cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume = PlayHeadPosition
          Assign AnswerCorrect to 0
          Else continue
My project is skipping to slide 12 on the execution of this. I think it may have something to do with the cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume defaulting to a -1 which would put it at the end of slide 10 again plus the value of PlayHeadPosition.
Note that slide 11 does have another drag and drop interaction on it and I have the objects for the whole slide.
Thank you in advance everyone!

No dice, even slowing the FPS down to the min of 10 I can't see if it is jumping back and forth... The 2nd drag and drop on slide 11 isn't paused until 7.5 seconds into the slide so it isn't that being skipped either.I am completely stumped on this one.
I have narrowed it down a bit. This is the on enter for slide 11. If I change the first line of the action to just display a text box on the slide it works as expected. Even with cpInfoCurrentFrame being offset by the initial -1 I would have expected it to set the playhead at 2.9 seconds into this slide??

Drag and drop interaction for a different use

Hi,
Can anyone please help me get the a solution to the below: For the drag and drop interaction my user should be able to drop the answer (irrespective of that being a wrong answer) to any of the options, but as they click Submit, the actual answers should show up.
I am using Captivate 7.
Thanks,
Roja

Thanks so much Sreekanth!
One thing that I am still struggling with is, the source (the questions) do not sit on the wrong destinations (non-answers), the moment it dragged to the wrong answer, the source goes back to its original place .
Thanks,
Roja

Drag and Drop Interaction - Incomplete

Hi
I have began using the Drag and Drop Interaction which is working really well. I have one issue that I cannot see how to do, I hope there is a possible solution somewhere.
All other questions have an incomplete caption that appears when you click submit but have not selected any options or selected any hotspots. Is there a way to make this happen with the D&D interaction? I use this as part of an assessment and would like it that the user cannot skip until they have at least attempted to drag an item.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks

I suppose it is a validated D&D since you are talking about a question. If not everything is done, it is clearly a Failure, which means that you can use the Failure event to trigger a conditional advanced action that checks if all drag actions have been done that were expected. For that reason you'll have to track the drag actions, maybe by using the Object actions and a counter...
