Make all click boxes required before proceeding to next slide

I have created a screen with three click boxes and a next button. The learner will need to click all three click boxes before they can click next to move to the next slide. If they do not click all three boxes they will need to get a message saying they need to view all content before proceeding. Does anyone know how to program the next button to require the three click boxes to be clicked before proceeding?
Thanks in advance,
~A

Question has been treated multiple times in this forum. You don't need to program the Next button, but the click boxes. I suppose they do not have to be clicked in sequence? In that case:
create three user variables, one for each click box: v_one, v_two, v_three and give them a default value of 0
hide the next button (in the Properties panel - since I don't know the version, will not go in details)
for each click box create a conditional advanced action with two decisions:
First decision is a mimicked standard action 'Always'
    IF 1 is equal to 1
       Assign v_one with 1    (change variable in the actions for the other two click boxes to v_two, v_three)
Second decision checks the value of the three variables
    IF v_one is equal to 1 AND
        v_two is equal to 1 AND
                        v_three is equal to 1
                    Show Bt_Next
Be sure to have the pausing point of the Next button later than the pausing point of the click boxes. That will mean that you have to shorten the timeline of the click boxes, and check the timing properties of the button

Captivate 6 - Trying to make all click boxes not visible in output

Adobe Captivate 6 - how do you make all the click boxes not visible in output. Help says to uncheck the Visible in Output box, easy enough, then it say to click the Apply to all icon and there is no such icon. Do I have to go through every single slide and manually do each one?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I think you want to 'hide' the click box, so that it is not active, in the Properties panel? A click box itself is never visible to the user on the stage, but can be active or not.
I always copy/paste an invisible object, it will keep its properties. Since a click box has no style, you cannot apply a style to all click boxes.

Click box problem..loop to next slide without the command

Guys, I have a problem with my click boxes.
I'm using captivate 5.5.
details:
I have 4 click boxes
3 for hide and show objects
1 for go to next slide.
I have 2 slides only.
first slide has the changing view.
sample:
clickbox1 opens object 1 2 and 3 and triggers audio inside object 1 (working)
clickbox2 hides objects 1 2 and 3..shows 4 5 and 6 objects with audio also.
clickbox 3 goes the same process.
Problem: when I click clickbox2..it performs the action but maybe at around 1 second then proceed to the next slide. in which in the action, there was no command that say go to next slide or any.
the button for the next slide is on the 4 clickbox.
I'm using advance actions by the way.
I'm confused, this is my second time to do this..the first was working, what could be the problem?
Thanks

link sent thru PM.
I'm thinking if this is an inconsistency of CP.
action..for page2

How to make page continue after all click boxes have been clicked (CP6)

Hi,
I have a standard non quiz hotspot page in my course. I want this page to continue to show a final animation once the learner has clicked all click boxes on screen.
At the moment, I have set up Advanced Actions to make the click boxes show the relevant information successfully. I have also set up an array which tells the page to continue once all the click boxes have been clicked, however the page does not continue until the user clicks on the page again AFTER clicking all the click boxes.
Why is this happening?
Thanks

Lilybiri, I had problem with advanced actions and you helped me a great deal with your skills and your template for reusing.
I will try to explain the best I can, If there are 3 buttons on a slide, and when each one is clicked: they assign some variable from 0 to 1, conditional action says if all assigned variables are 1 then do action for that slide, slide action can be: show 4th button (initially invisible) for example. That 4th button will be visible only if you proceed to some other slide by clicking one of those first 3 buttons (via jump to slide), and when you navigate back to that initial slide 4th button will be visible. This was the only way for me to show 4th button which is initially invisible on a slide with conditional actions. Standard actions works just fine: you click something and assigned action is performed. But, again for conditional actions slide needs to be reloaded. For me it works only this way otherwise nothing happens on a slide when I have situation like this (with conditional actions). This is why I have replied in this way since I have recognized my problem. Am I wrong? And yes, event is triggered on slide Enter.

How to make a Click Box URL open in a new window?

Hullo, I am having an awful time being stumped by what I am sure is a totally simple solution that continues to evade me:
How can I set a click box set to open a URL to open that URL in a new tab or window?
My click box "button" appears on a slide in the middl eof the presentation, and I'd like the user to be able to click on the hyperlink and not navigate away from the video.
Thanks!

Hi there
What version of Captivate?
Typically there is an option to click just to the right of where you type the URL.
Below is an image of the version 5 properties.

Multiple Click Box Quiz Answers on the Same Slide

Hello. I am using Captivate 5.5
I have a quiz slide with two click boxes that are both correct answers. When a learner clicks either of them, I want them to advance to the next slide and score as "Correct".
The problem is since they only click one of the boxes, they never receive enough points to pass the quiz (since each box has earns credit towards the final score).
Does anyone have a solution or work around for this?
Thanks.

I have already watched the videos, but we still end up 1 answer short. Essentially no correct scores are being reported from that slide that contains the Master Widget.
Here is the exact set up we have:
Two click boxes that are correct answers. Neither are set to report to quiz. If either box is clicked the slide advances (and theoretically a correct score of 1 should be added). If they click anywhere else on the slide it should advance the slide without adding the point to the total score.
The Master Widget is set up the following way.
Slave Objects: Both of our correct click boxes are listed as slaves
Scoring: Under "Slave Scoring" we have both click boxes set to "1" on Success and "0" on Failure
Success/Failure: We have chosen "Success" and "Based on Slave Success/Failure" - "Report Success if any 1 slaves report Success"
Evaluate: We selected "Evaluate each time a slave evaluates"
Misc: We left all of these in their default position.

Quiz slide waits for Audio to finish before proceeding to next question

Hi guys, hope you can help. I have 5 questions with audio inside narrating the question and the answer in selection. Once you you have chosend your answer then click submit button..it waits until the audio finishes then proceeds to the next question.
hope you can help
Thank you

Having this action on Slide Exit of the Quiz Results slide may not work if the user clicks a button there to Review Quiz because that will mean that the last frame of the Quiz Results slide doesn't get played.
There is an internal Captivate system variable that gets set on each question slide when it's in Review Mode, but I don't think you can read this variable via Advanced Actions. If you could read it, you could check it and then trigger the mute action on Slide Enter of each question slide.
UPDATE: Just thought of another possible workaround. There's a system variable called cpInfoPrevSlide that records the last slide you visited before the current one. You could use this in a conditional action to trigger cpCmndMute. When the user clicks Review Quiz on the Quiz Results slide it will take them back to the first scoring object in the Quiz Scope. OnSlideEnter of this slide you need to check whether or not cpInfoPrevSlide is the Quiz Results slide, and if it is, set cpCmndMute to 1. That should turn off the audio on the slides from then on.
For instruction audio on the Quiz Results slide I prefer to have the audio attached to a rollover caption. That way, the user only gets the audio if they explicitly roll over the HELP button (or whatever you call it).

No KeyDown detected on a new Window presented with ShowDialog (a mouse click is required before working)

Hello,
I shorter the code.
In MainWindow I have a button to open a SecondWindow
private void ButtonNextWindow_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;
var secondWindow = new SecondWindow();
secondWindow.ShowDialog();
WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
In the second window class I declared a KeyDown event called onKeyDown
private void onKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show("Key Pressed");
well... it works only if I first click in the Second Window with the mouse, wherever I want.
I would avoid this click; seems something related with the Keyboard focus.
Thanks in advance,
Vincenzo

Set second window to focus after you set first window state to normal
private void ButtonNextWindow_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;
var secondWindow = new SecondWindow();
secondWindow.ShowDialog();
WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
secondWindow.Focus();

How do i develop an online screen which allows hovering over a link to provide image of a 2nd screen vs clicking on it to go to next slide?

Hi everyone
Here's what I'm doing
I have 4 links we can call them
Link A
Link B
Link C
Link D
Each of this link when I click on it, leads me to a different page. What I'm trying to do here is when I click on Link A in publish content, it will have like a bubble that shows the second window and notes appearing when I hover it?
Let me know if it makes sense.
Regards
AJ

Did you try the rollover slidelet?

Why is the click box Failure Caption Display property disabled?

Slide is 10 sec long. Click box appears at 7 sec, display to end, pause for response and failure caption, 2 attempts allowed before continuing.
Failure caption > Properties > Display time is disabled--and set to 10 sec.
Only want 3 sec with fade in and out 0.5 sec.
This in the only one of the entire collection of failure captions doing this. While I "fixed" the slide by just deleting this one and re-doing what works, I want to know why I could not access or edit the Display time.
Thanks.

I expected the failure caption to last 3 sec (since that was the default for all the failure captions to begin with). There are only 2 attempts allowed before proceeding to next slide.
So, Here's what was expected. Slide opens. Text caption must be read, then an instruction given. At 7 seconds the click box becomes active. the failure caption should be 3 sec duration with fade in and out set to .5 sec each. So if the viewer clicks inaccurately, the failure caption appears for as long as 3 seconds waiting for a response. Respond incorrectly again, the failure appears again for 3 sec then the project moves on to the next slide. If the viewer doesn't click, the slide just waits without generating a failure caption.
However, I don't know how the failure caption got set to 10 sec and I usually can modify the duration. The problem is that the duration property is disabled/not available to edit/not like the rest of the captions in the entire project. How do I activate it?

How can I get a click box to interact with a text entry box on the same page?

I'm creating a tutorial on using a specific system and trying to recreate what the end user would actual do in the system. On one slide, the end user must enter text into a field, then press a button (click box) to advance to the next slide. I want to be able to have the click box validate if the text entry is correct before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to get the click box to validate the text entry? Not sure how to get the two objects to "talk" to each other rather than function independently.
Literally, I want the end user to enter the data in the text entry box, then click on the Get button. I need the Get button (click box) to both validate that the data entered in the text entry box is correct and, if it is, advance to the next slide. If the data is incorrect, I need the Get button (click box) to show the failure caption and have the end user re-enter the data correctly.
How do I get the objects to work together?

Hi there
You need to delete the Click Box. Yes, you heard me. Delete the puppy.
I know it sounds weird. But bear with me. After you delete it, double-click the Text Entry Box. Then click the Options tab. See that option called Show Button? Click it and click OK to dismiss the TEB properties.
Now you have the button you want. If you don't want a button, double-click it and set it as transparent. Remove the text. Position as desired where the Click Box was before.

Define click box failure zone

When a user clicks on a specific rectangle on the screen (click box), it goes to the next slide. This works fine.
When the user clicks OUTSIDE of that click box, they get a failure message, which is fine…however, I want them to be able to click a Table of Contents button without having any consequences, either. Right now, the click box interprets the TOC button click as a failure. How can I make the TOC button a "safe zone?"
I am using a TOC widget from here: http://www.cpguru.com/2010/10/14/free-toc-button-widget-for-adobe-captivate-4-as3-and-adob e-captivate-5/

Here is the screenshot from my project. The clickbox is under the text box on the timeline only.
They start at the same time since I want both options available. The idea is that the user types an "r" in the text box, then clicks the Find to simulate searching in the LOV. If they do not enter an "r" the error displays, and the slide resets to the 1 second point on the timeline.
In case these are different issues, I started a separate conversation and posted the screenshot there too.

Pausing Movie for Click Boxes

Hi everyone -
This is my first time on this forum and I'm fairly new to
Captivate, so please be gentle :)
I am creating a movie that highlights accomplishments for a
department over time. Using the "Click Box" feature, I'm creating
links from the movie to Flash, GIF, PDF files, websites, etc. that
highlight some of these accomplishments. What I would like to do is
stop the movie while the viewer explores some of these links in a
new window, but I cannot figure out how to do this. I've attempted
to do this by clicking the dropdown arrow to the right of the "Open
URL or file:" field in the "Click Box" popup window. In this menu,
I click "New," and uncheck "Continue playing movie."
Alas! This does not work for me. I publish the movie and give
it a test run. When I click on the "Click Box" links in the movie,
my URL or file opens up just fine in a new window, but when I come
back to the movie, it is finished because it was still running
while I was exploring my links.
Am I missing something in "Options" or the "Click Box" tab?
Is it possible to stop the movie while the viewer explores links?
I am using Version 1.0.1188, Build 1188 (Education Version)
of Captivate, and viewing my movie in Mozilla 5.0 on a PC with
Window XP.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris :)

Hi, I have a similar issue with click boxes. I have a few
slides which follow the same pattern: I have some instructional
text which spans the length of the slide with fade in and fade out
effects. I also have a click box positioned over a button image
which the user is required to click to proceed. The click box is
set to appear a few seconds into the slide, before the text starts
to fade out.
The idea is that the instructions fade in, tell the user to
click the button, then the click box appears and pauses the slide,
the user clicks the button and the slide finishes playing, fading
out the text and moving on to the next slide.
The slide does wait for the user to click the button before
proceeding to the next slide, but the slide fails to pause, and the
instructions fade out before the user clicks the button. Just to
prove that the slide has not paused, I placed an image set to
appear after the click box appears, so if the slide had paused when
the click box appeared, the image would not appear until the user
had clicked it. However, the image does appear, the instructions
fade out, the slide plays to the end and only then does it pause.
Both the click box and instructions have their duration set
to "Rest of slide", the instructions starting at 0 seconds, fading
in over one second, starting to fade out at 4 seconds, and ending
at 5 seconds. The click box is set to appear 4 seconds in, just
before the instructions start to fade out. The click box action is
set to "continue".
I managed to solve my problem (kind of) by using an invisible
button instead of a click box, but an invisible button is also
invisible in the editing environment, making it hard to spot.
So is there a bug with click boxes? Or is there something I'm
missing? Should we avoid click boxes altogether and just use
buttons for every clickable element?
Thanks,
Scott

How can I display the failure caption with click box when using function keys to navigate a sim?

I am using the keyboard function keys to navigate a simulation using Click Boxes. For instance, F7 advances the simulation to the next screen, but if the learner selects F5, a failure caption displays. I have tried deleting and re-entering the click box, placing the click box at the top of the timeline levels, starting the click box at 0 and 0.5, making the click box visible and invisible, and make the click box the entire size of the screen.

Well, I guess that's that. Thanks for replying, I do appreciate it or else I would have been trying for days, wasting all sorts of time.
Until we meet again,
James
