Match/Drag & Drop Test questions

Just did my first Captivate thing... cool!
Noticed when using the Match Test with Drag & Drop...
1 - A little box shows up on the left that caused some
confusion... When you drag & drop it will populate itself with
the 'letter' of the choice the user made... BUT... the user can
also type the letter into the little box.
In our case the answers in the right hand column were numbers
like 6, 3, 9, 2, etc
So the user typed in the answer (like the number 6)... and
even though that was correct Captivate saw it as incorrect as it
was looking for the 'letter' of the answer in the right hand
column.
THE QUESTION: Can we hide that little box that appears by
each item in the left column of the Match Drag & Drop test?
2 - Captivate seems to shuffle the left column... any way to
make it shuffle the right column?
3 - Instead of entering text in the left column (or
alternately the right column) we want to show a graphic by each
choice... but when the user trys to drag and drop the graphic
Captivate doesn't see it... How have you guys handled using
graphics for one column or the other in the match drag & drop
test ?
4 - We added a text caption box to the Match test creen but
with only one line of 10 point type. Captivate wouldn't let us
adjust the height of the text frame to slightly larger than the
height of the text... even though we told it OK to adjust height
w/o adjusting width in the properties. Captivate seems to want to
maintain the height of the text caption frame to about 1/2 inch on
my screen... even if we use very small type. Any way to fix this as
we are running out of real estate on a few screens.
Sorry for all the questions but thanks for any kind
assistance.

Hi Will_3
You might have better luck configuring your Matching to use
Drop-Downs for your user to select the match. To do this, edit the
question and in the lower left corner of the dialog, click the
drop-down and choose "Drop Down List". I'm thinking this could
avoid some of the confusion.
As for the images, you have already stated the answer. The
images may be present, but cannot be dragged to establish the
match. The shuffling is occurring because "Shuffle Answers" is
selected when you click Quiz > Quiz Preferences... > Quiz
node > Settings node.
As for the Text Caption, as you have seen, there is a minimum
height these can have. If you are using the Transparent caption
type, most of it will be invisible anyway, so it shouldn't matter.
After you get the caption positioned on the slide, you may lock it
by clicking the dot in the lock column of the Timeline. If you are
after a certain look for them, you may choose to create your own
Caption type at the size you need.
No need to apologize for asking questions. That's what the
forum is for!
Hopefully something I've offered here is helpful... Rick

Quiz Template Guru Needed: 1) Target Symbols from Drag&Drop questions persist on subsequent questions!??

I've been finding some anomalies when testing the movie, for
instance the question regarding the BA degree keeps telling me the
answer marked correct in the Component Inspector (# 6 American
Urban) is incorrect; other times it seems one question contains
part of another question's graphics, though I have scrupulously
made sure there is no overlap frame by frame.
I need someone with experience in quiz templates to go
through this until you find anomalies like those mentioned above,
and let me know if you have any idea what's causing them.
You can download the .fla at
http://mywebniche.com/test/FrontDeskTest.zip
The test can be seen at

[Note: The Name Field's actionscript is also not working.
When you enter your name on the first frame, it should appear on
the results page -- doesn't. Any idea what's wrong there?]
This is a real project and I really need help getting it bug
free.
Thanks.

I have the solution. It is a bug in Flash for which I got
them to find a workaround.
If you ask me they don't spend nearly enought time/energy on
Flash in education, particularly the quizzes, which have so many
limitations and are lacking so many obviously needed features.
I'll post their workaround below, but I want you, and all who
read it to contact their feedback/wishlist for Flash and complain
about their Quizzes getting short shrift. Features badly needed
are:
- Ability to randomize AND require certain questions to
always appear.
- options to enter name and have it appear on Results Page
along with date and number of times the quiz has been re-taken.
- the ability to have multiple true/false questions
- better documentation on how to customize the template
graphics and how to use original graphics
- fix the drag & drop component permanently -- this is
arguably the most useful question format of them all !
- ability to save customized components -- as component
templates
- anything else you can think of that I haven't included here
Here's the fix:
1) in your movie, locate an instance of the Drag and Drop
Interaction component and select it.
2) Select Edit Symbols from the file menu (Edit > Edit
Symbols) to edit the symbol
3) The middle layer should be the Actions Layer. Select
frame 1 in that Actions layer and open the Actions panel
4) Scroll to the bottom of the script and find the
this.onUnload function located there.
5) Use your mouse and highlight the contents of that
function, not including the function name, and copy it. You
should have copied the following script:
var clearLast =
_parent.SessionArray[_parent.session].drag_objects;
var len = clearLast.length;
for(var i=0; i<len; i++){
_parent[clearLast
].removeMovieClip();
6) Return to the very top of the script and paste a copy of
this script there prior to the comment stating:
/*--------------VERSION CONTROL
INFORMATION----------------------
Note: You may need to make some room for the new script.
What this should do is ensure that the unload script is
called immediately upon the loading of a new drag and drop
interaction component clearing any prior objects used in the one
before it.Â This was not happening appropriately before
which is what was causing those dragged objects to remain on the
screen.

HT1267 i've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have replaced my computer & lost my library-question is why can't i drag/drop new downloaded music to my iphone without 'syncing' & losing my 2500 songs from the iphone?

I've got about 2500 songs on my iphone, i have recently replaced my computer because the old one crashed, so i lost all the songs in the itunes library. My question is, it seems that now i am unable to drag/drop new downloaded songs without syncing my iphone & losing my 2500 songs from the phone?

You cannot. Iphone will sync/manually manage music with one and only one computer at a time. Syncing/manually managing with another will erase the current content from the iphone.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

AS3 to AS3 Drag/Drop Question

This is a fairly routine drag/drop interaction. The tricky part is when the invisilbe button 'btnInvis10' is clicked, another movieClip, 'dragger' appears and becomes the element being dragged, to be dropped onto 'mSquare'. AS3 is giving me some problems when I convert the code - really just changing the functions to be AS3 compliant. But I guess it needs more than just converting. Any ideas?
My AS2 code worked like this:
dragger._alpha = 0;
btnInvis10.onPress = function():Void {
dragger._alpha = 100;
dragger.startDrag(true);
onMouseUp = function ():Void {
var bOverlap:Boolean = dragger.hitTest(mSquare);
//trace(bOverlap);
if (bOverlap) {
dragger._alpha = 0;
btnInvis10._visible = false;
menubar._x = _xmouse;
menubar._y = _ymouse;
gotoAndStop(nextFrame());
bOverlap = false;
if (!bOverlap) {
dragger._alpha = 0;
dragger._x = 412;
dragger._y = 490;
dragger.stopDrag();

Can you show your AS3 attempt as well?
I figure I should ask if the coding is errant wrt the way you test if bOverlap is true vs false (since it may be as intended). In the first conditional where it is true, it is set to false, which will cause the condition that follows it to also run since it is now false...
if (bOverlap) {
bOverlap = false;
if (!bOverlap) {
One last thing... gotoAndStop(nextFrame()); doesn't make sense (to me). nextFrame does not return a value, so using it as an argument doesn't buy anything. By itself it will cause the timeline to move to the next frame and stop.

Drag & Drop Text into place holder while Matching style. Possible?

Is it possible to drag text into a placeholder text box and have the dragged text assume the style of the placeholder text? I know that I can "paste and match style" which I use constantly but I am trying to build a template for other people to use and would love for them to simply be able to drag & drop text into a template. It seems like this would be the default behavior for a template but it does not seem to be.
Am I missing something obvious?

I either have to select, copy, and then paste matching formatting, or drag, drop and then reformat the text from the styles. Is there any way I can drag and drop so that the text being dropped picks up the formatting of the place holder I'm dropping it into? It seems to me that this is what a placeholder should be for.
Am I missing something?
Perhaps the fact that the definition of placeholder is not the same for you and for the Pages designers
Seriously, I think that you hit a design flaw. Here we are end users trying to help end users. We are unable to change the program behavior.

Drag/Drop Question

I have implemented drag & drop using a datagrid and a list control. The items that need to be dragged are a simple value object that conatin data. Everything works as far as the drag/drop operations, however, I need to be able to know which item has been dropped. It's probably simple, but I can't find it. Can anyone help?

Just give each item an id
and listen to the
<s:List id="destList"
dragDrop="destList_dragDropHandler(event)"

Drag line/connect question

Hi,
Is it possible to make a drag line question:
Attached screenshot is what we want.
We want to drag a line from left to right and when the question is right, a picture pops up.
When it is wrong a sentence telling it is wrong will show.
is this possible within Captivate ?

I managed creating matching questions for someone once (consulting task) using the interactive Drag&Drop widget from InfoSemantics. That was a question that had to lead to reporting, even with partial scoring which is not possible with the default matching question slides. And then you have total control of course. It means that you need knowledge of variables, advanced actions.
Do you need reporting, or a "zwart-wit" one if everything is correct? Or is just the appearance of the captions important? Maybe then the built in Drag&Drop will suit your needs.

Drag & drop

I am doing a project for quiz. in that quiz, there are 3
stages. The final one is drag & drop . The target and drop are
dynamic text boxes . But it doesn't match with its target
perfectly

And so your question is?

Can't drag/drop or copy/paste; spotlight missing

I can no longer drag/drop or copy/paste files or folders. I can select "copy" but the option to "paste" is grayed out. I also no longer have spotlight on the menu bar.
One possible cause - there's a tmp folder in my trash bin. I have no idea how it got there. Is that the cause? if so, how do I reinstall the tmp folder?
I'm running 10.5.8 on a Macbook Pro. Thanks.

Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).

Press Return.
Look at the resulting text. If it matches the following line (which would indicate that /tmp is still present) then this document does not apply to you, and you should stop here and try another troubleshooting path.
lrwxrwxr-t 1 root admin 11 Jan 15 11:00 tmp@ -> private/tmp
The timestamp following "admin" will reflect the current date.
If you do not see the line above, then type:
sudo ln -s /private/tmp /tmp
Press Return.
Enter your administrator account password when prompted, the press Return.
I still have a question, but first.....
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I can't express how thankful I am for this post! Had the same exact problem as the discussion starter. I didn't even notice Spotlight was gone until finding this post! I thought the issue was Adobe/app related until copy/paste didn't work!
***If you try the code, after entering your password successfully, make sure you RESTART your computer!!!***
Now to my questions. Please help if you can:
1) I can see that the tmp folder is an alias folder now; but can I still delete the original folder that's still in the trash (which is minus two files now, because I tried emptying the trash)?!??
2) Also, I have a x2 backup of the original folder before putting it in the trash (and emptying; that's how I know the tmp folder is minus two files). So my second question is, can I put the backup folder BACK where the alias folder is, and them delete the alias!???
Thanks for any answers! That last thing I want to do is mess up again!! :/

Drag & Drop Confusion

Good evening AS3 programmers,
I apologize, but this is another newbie question. I programmatically added 20 instances of a movie clip named "Token" to the stage. Token consists of a small rectangle and a dynamic text field. Each instance of Token was named "tkn." I'm attempting implement drag & drop for these movie clips. In the drag function which is called by the Mouse_Down event I've traced e.target.name. Instead of getting the name of the movie clip, tkn, I get name of the text field contained within tkn. After a lot of searching I found the mouseChildren property and within the code for the movie clip I now have the statement "this.mouseChildren = false;" This change corrected the name problem. I no longer get the name of the text field, but the movie clip name has been changed to "instancexxx," where xxx is a 3 digit number. Since I only want to drag the tkn movie clips I am testing e.target.name. How do I get Flash to keep the name of the movie clip as tkn? Thanks for your help on this.

How are you "naming" the clips. My guess is you are doing something like this:
for(var i=0;i<5;i++){
var tkn:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
In that case you aren't naming the clip "tkn" you are reusing a variable called "tkn" to reference a movieclip. In AS2 that would be the name, but in AS3 the name is a separate property. You are getting instance## because all clips have a name property, but if a specific one isn't assigned, flash just keeps track and gives them their number. You would need to add a line like
tkn.name="tkn"
after the construction of your clips. However I think you are likely to run into problem is all the clips have the same name. Especially if you try and reference the clip by its name. Instead you might want to "add" a "type" or something property to each clip as it is created. That way you can check the type and see what it is.

Flash Quiz - Drag & Drop Default Error

Greetings !
I've come across a small 'flaw' in the quiz template:
If you test(ctrl+enter) the quiz template and go to the
Drag&Drop part (first question); you can see that you can drag
all the objects and drop them on 1 target. I don't know if this is
how it is supposed to be but this is a problem to my quiz app.
I'm not that good with ActionScript and I don't want to mess
up the default coding, so can someone please help me by altering
the script so that it does not allow multiple objects to 'sit' on
the target, i.e. it allows only 1 object on a target.
(It's interesting how Adobe/Macromedia hasn't changed or
checked the quiz templates in Flash Since Flash 6.)
Praises and Thanks to all helpers !

How can I get quiz scripts to pull properly.... Using CP 6 with Infosemantics Drag & Drop Widget

I'm modifying a course which is composed of 4 mini-quizzes with each section having a results slide which gives you your cummulative score. This course was created by my predecessor. The course was previously published, loaded to our LMS, and used by new hires to test their knowledge and abitliy to locate information. In it's original state the course works and the Results slides score and coaching messages display as they should.
Now that I need to update the course, I've discovered that the first section was built using a Drag&Drop widget. I didn't make any changes to the section built using the widget. Unfortunately, the Results slide for this mini-quiz section has become a problem when the user gets a score of 0 or 10 points. Instead of getting a message that reads, "Keep Trying!" (0 points) or "You're Doing OK!" (10 Points) they get a "Perfect Score!" message.
Notice the scoring is correct for the section it's the messaging that's wrong. Since this is only happening with this one part of the quiz I'm assuming that there could be something wrong with the widegt.
Any input would be appreciated.

Rod Ward was very helpful in aiding in the fixing widgets that outdated due to a version update. However, this fix does note resovle my original problem. In short, the widget Drag/Drop was never the problem with the scoring/scripting issue. Can anyone give me insight as to why a course that has used by our learner population previously would stop functioning properly.
Reminder:
1. I made minor edits to the course in question. none of my edits impacted the section that is not functioning properly.
2. Currently, learners would get a "Perfect Score" script if they scored 0, 10, or 30 points. "Perfect Score", in this first section should only display at 30 points while 0 points should yield "Keep Trying" and 10 points should yield "You're Doing Ok" responses.
Any Thoughts!

Drag&Drop & Windows 7

Hi,
I'm testing Flex Builder (last release) on Windows 7 RC1, I have troubles with the native drag&drop functionality of an AIR application inside the development environment, the d&d doesn't works while testing the application with 'run' and 'debug' options inside the builder, d&d actually works if I deploy application and test it with the 'standard' AIR framework.... same code works on Vista and so on on the fly...
I have checked the forum and found another user having the same 'issue', perhaps some OS settings or security levels to grant to flex builder?
I know that W7 is not yet a RTM and is not supported so far, btw any suggestion is welcome.
TY.

Did you try a clean boot?
And does this works in safe mode or only a problem in normal Windows Mode?

Thank you for your reply!
The answer to your question is Yes, I tried it in Safe Mode and it does NOT work there either. (Please note that I made sure to say this in my OP, where I wrote: "The problem
DOES occur even in Clean Boot and Safe Mode!").
I hope you can help!

Drag Drop List to List

I have a source list and a destination list. I want to submit
the contents of the destination list via my sendformdata function
along with the other formitems.
Here are my source/dest lists.
<mx:VBox dropShadowEnabled="true">
<mx:Label text="Available Loops"/>
<mx:List id="srclist" width="300" height="150"
allowMultipleSelection="true"
dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true"
dragMoveEnabled="true" labelField="category"
dataTipFunction="myLabelFunc" showDataTips="true"
alternatingItemColors="[#ece8ff, #ffffff]">
</mx:List>
</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox>
<mx:Label text="Patched Loops"/>
<mx:List alternatingItemColors="[#ece8ff, #ffffff]"
id="destlist" width="200" height="150"
allowMultipleSelection="true"
dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true"
labelField="category"/>
</mx:VBox>
user drags one or more items from the source to dest list.
This works great.
Now I need to pass the dropped/selected data in destlist to
myobj, along with the other form items. How?
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function sendFormdata():void {
var myobj:Object = new Object();
myobj.name = myname.text;
myobj.email = myemail.text;
myobj.entry = myentry.text;
myobj.entrycomment = myentrycomment.htmlText;
myobj.selectedcats= destlist.????
cfdataInsert.addData({user:myobj})
]]>
</mx:Script>
Second part of my question is that I want the value of
myobj.selectedloops to be a comma separated list of categoryid
numbers (e.g. 1,3,5). My query, that populates the source list via
the remoteobject contains categoryid,category, and description
columns. I currently display the category in the labelField of the
list, but I need to submit the categoryid to the DB.
data comes from...
<mx:RemoteObject
id="cfdata" showBusyCursor="true"
destination="ColdFusion"
source="da8.Constellation.entries">
<mx:method name="getCats" result="getCats_result(event)"
/>
</mx:RemoteObject>
getCats ColdFusion function...
<cffunction name="getCats" access="remote"
returntype="query">
<cfset var CatData = "">
<cfquery name="CatData" datasource="#DSN#">
select categoryid,category,description
from Categories
order by category
</cfquery>
<cfreturn CatData />
</cffunction>
and then this function populates the srclist with the
data....
public function getCats_result(event:ResultEvent):void
srclist.dataProvider = event.result as ArrayCollection;
destlist.dataProvider =[];
How do I pass the resulting destlist categoryids to
myobj.selectedcats ?
I don't know how the ArrayCollection organizes the query and
how to reference the categoryid in the srclist and destlists.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Don

SAP has lots of demo reports for drag and drop functionalities. Please check [Drag & Drop With the ALV Grid Control|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/22/a3f5fbd2fe11d2b467006094192fe3/content.htm]

BW Report iView Drag&Drop

We have configured a BW Report iView. The report appears to be generated correctly. However, drag & drop functionality does not seem to be available. When using the URL iView, the drag & drop is supported.
Appreciate if you could advise how to make drag & drop work when using BW Report iView. Thanks.

Hi Raja,
When I execute the query as stated by you i.e; query designer and then by clicking on the display query on the web(ctrlshiftw) button it takes me to aol's search engine
Alternatively when I uncheck the show friendly http error messages and preview the iview it throws the following error
The following error occurred:
Could not connect because of networking problems. Contact your system administrator. (CANT_CONNECT)
Please contact the administrator.
I have checked all connection properties and the test connections - Connection Test for Connectors connects successfully as well.
Where could the problem be? Is there any other way of excuting the query on IE?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
