Modifying components in learning interactions

I've created a multi-choice quiz, but now I want to be able to change the location and text color of the interactive messages that appear when the user takes the quiz.
I created the quiz by dragging the learning interaction component to the stage. Everything works beautifully. Just want to format and change the values of some of the properties, such as the location of the feedback text, the text color, etc. How do you do that?
Thanks for any help you can give me!

An update . . . I'm able to change the question text font, color and size using the values box in the properties of the component. However, I can't figure out how to format the options' values, as well as the feedback boxes. Specifically, for the feedback text boxes, I would like to change their placement.
Thanks so much for any pointers.

Modify Learning Interactions properties panel

Hi there,
I was wondering if I can modify the parameter panel of a
Learning Interaction component to make it more user-friendly for a
Flash author? For example, I would like to change a single line
textfield to a multi-line textarea. Has anybody tried that and
could provide me with some direction and help?
Thanks,
Dan

Are you trying to assign the value from the array:
SessionArray[0].interaction_ID to your variable qresult?
If so, you're using the wrong operator symbol. "==" is a
comparison operator (it tests to see if something is equal to
something else and returns a "true" or "false")
To assign the value you'd do this: qresult =
SessionArray[0].interaction_ID; (note the single "=")
Then you can load the value of qresult into your text field
in a separate function called from your button event
handler.

Flash learning interactions, what am i doing wrong

Hi all
everytime after i modify and then save and publish a learning
interaction...... i get a standard error message and flash shuts
down. also none of the modifications i make save...... how do you
save the the modifcations made to a learning interaction ? one i am
in the component inspector and i make changes to the Learning
interaction...... where do i go to save it, there is nothing in the
component inspector and paramters that points to saving..... so i
have been saving the fla as normal... eg under file menu 'save
as'... i then test the movie and get nothing.
Can anyone help ?

Dave,

>
> vid.setMedia("dd2.flv");
> vid.play();
The FLVPlayback class does not feature a setMedia() method,
that I can
see. According to the docs, FLVPlayback "wraps"
mx.video.VideoPlayer. Not
sure if that means "inherits," but assuming for sake of
argument that it
does, the VideoPlayer class does not faeture a setMedia()
method, either.
Unfortunately, the docs get a bit cryptic at this point, IMO.
The FLVPlayer
Component has a contentPath property, as you mentioned, but I
don't see the
same property in either of the aforementioned classes.
Perhaps something in the inheritance chain provides for a
FLVPlayback.setContent property. I see references to a
mx.video.NCManager
class, but can't seem to find that class reference anywhere.
If you can do without the FLVPlayer Component, you may just
want to use
a Video object to load your external FLV.

Learning interactions and Flash player

I am trying to place a standalone multiple choice learning
interaction on my timeline. I can place it on the stage and see
everything in the component inspector, (only broke apart once!) but
when I test it, it appears that I cannot see any of the UI
components such as the checkbox or radio buttons. Searching this
forum, someone suggested previously that I had to be running Flash
Player 65? I installed Flash Player 9 from this site to ensure I
had the latest and it still does not work. I tried it at work,
where we are running Flash Player 7 and it seems to work fine. Is
it still my Flash Player? Do these interactions ONLY work with a
specific player? If so I need to know so that I can specify that in
the delivery. Thanks.

open the fla in flash and see if there's an flvplayback component on stage. if there is change its size to match your flv. if not, search for .source (as3) or .contentPath (as2). that will lead you to the object that plays the flv and you can assign its size using actioscript .

ELearning Extensions - Learning Interactions - The Latest?

Well after too much time spend searching the net and these forums and getting piecemeal information, I come here hoping to at least see if I understand the situation:
- For many revisions over the years, Flash has included a Learning Interactions common library with quiz components. This was a great thing and I used it a lot.
- Flash CS4, at least as part of a Web Premium Creative Suite, does not include the Learning Interactions. This makes sad panda.
- Apparently there is such a thing as Learning Interactions updated for AS3. It is very difficult to find information about this at Adobe. But it appears you can get it if you buy a different suite called the eLearning Suite. http://192.150.8.60/products/elearningsuite/extensions/ It says there that you get Flash CS4 with the Learning Interaction extension.
- There does not appear to be any way to acquire this Learning Interaction extension for Flash unless you have purchased the eLearning Suite. If you have a full Flash CS4 version that like me you purchased as part of another suite, you simply cannot have the Learning Interaction extension. IF THIS IS INCORRECT I would love to know about it! I would like to download it! Even pay for it (depending on the asking price).
- It is difficult to find information about the new CS4 Learning Interaction extension. There is one PDF floating around called "elearning_extensions.pdf" http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ELearningSuite/1.0/Extensions/elearning_extensions.pdf This is pretty weak as far as documentation but not so important to me because if I could just get my hands on the extension I think I can figure out how to make it work.
If anyone can add any more information about this I would appreciate it. Espeically if anyone has been able to figure out how to get their hands on the extension without buying a whole eLearning Suite.

Trouble with Learning Interactions and loadMovie

I have created some very simple quizzes using the learning
interactions components - specifically one of the quiz templates.
When testing the .swf on its own, everything works, including the
last page that tallies the number of right and wrong responses and
calculates a percentage based on those numbers.
However, when loading this .swf into another movie (@
_level1), the question pages work correctly, but the last page
returns all zeros for the right, wrong, and percentage values.
Any thoughts on where the problem might be?
Thanks,
Dave...

That sure is a lot of code for a little quiz.
Without seeing the flash file, I can't be 100% sure, but it
looks like the following code is what you will have to adjust in
order for the counting function to work right according to you
introducting another movie clip in to the path.
on (release) {
_parent._parent.QuizTrack.setNewPage();
_parent.updateFrame();
gotoAndStop(2);
The "_parent._parent.QuizTrack.setNewPage();" may need to be
changed to reflect the movie clip instance name you inserted this
quiz into. Maybe something like
"_parent._parent.QuizTrack.setNewPage();"
Some references to "this" may have to change also. Again,
without seeing the actual flash file, I can only give certain
advise.

CS3 Learning Interaction & Plateau LMS

I created a Flash CS3 Learning Interaction and published it
as AICC to be launched through a Plateau LMS. The quiz launches
correctly but does not pass the score or completion status. Does
anyone know what the Activity ID and Activity Name should be for a
Plateau LMS? I tried it using the Item ID and the Content Object ID
already.
Thanks!

So you are trying to return the value of the text field
qresult?
vcheck.onRelease = function (){
trace (qresult.text);

Learning interaction 2001: better feature than 2004, but why?

The 2001 Drag and Drop learning interaction will give an array based on your instance names, when you request SessionArray[1].student_response.
This is very usefull as a set of results to export.
The 2004 Drag and Drop learning interaction will give a list like this {1.a,2.b,3.c,4.d,5.e,6.f}, as an exported set of results
Why was the 2001 feature changed, it was brillent! Is there any way I can work round it, as I really need something more than {1.a,2.b,3.c,4.d,5.e,6.f}. I can't use the old version as I need to export at version 8 or above.

Sorry, yes I am.
The learning components that come with Flash. I'm using CS3. They have been very helpful in allowing a nice looking quiz, but I need results in more detail than "this person scored 80%"

Component Learning Interactions

Anybody familiar to this component and want to help me
out?:-) I am trying to make an online quiz with this, but since I
am norwegian and working with flash 8 (yes, I a about to upgrade to
cs4 in the near future) and the norwegian alphabet has specific
characters...is it possible to change the languag in the component?
Appreciate an answer:-)

Hi Conrad!
As you have no doubt already realized, using the Learning
Interaction templates that are available in Flash MX / MX2004 and 8
will not work at all in Presenter content.
The coding methods conflict while playing back within the
Breeze environment and I
think it has to do with the _dropTarget property as part of
the interaction's codebase. The _dropTarget method is NOT supported
in Breeze, but the hitTest() method IS!
I have written a few drag and drop exercises that do work
within Breeze content, and you have to use the hitTest() method to
accomplish it.
As you already have discovered, the bottom line is that the
learning components were intended to be "stand alone" objects that
could be incorporated into a web page (or even a CD as these
objects are nothing more than swf files). Aside from the fact that
the prebuilt/preconfigured learning objects in flash don't always
work in Breeze, in my mind, the bigger question here is the ability
(or more accurately) the inability to connect these SCO's to an LMS
for tracking. As stand alone objects, they're actually pretty
handy...but not in Breeze.
I realize this doesn't help much with what you're trying to
do, but from my perspective, you're better off creating your own
drag n' drops.
I've got a bunch of examples to share if you'd like to take a
look...just send me a PM or email if you're interested.

Problem with Button in Learning Interaction

I have created a Flash file with 4 "Fill in the Blank" questions (from the Learning Interactions continued within Flash CS3) at the end. I'm then using the swf file in two different ways. One way simply loads the swf file onto a 'stand-alone' page on my website and it works perfectly.
The other way I want to use it is integrated into a more complicated website where I have a Flash File into which various swf files are loaded when needed. In this version the "Control Button" doesn't change to "Check Answer" and "Reset" as it should and the whole question doesn't work.
The working version is at http://web.me.com/ginneswatsonkelso/New_Chemical_Resources/Name_Isomers_Alkanes.html
Select "4 For You to Try" to go directly to Quiz Questions.
The non-working version is at http://web.me.com/ginneswatsonkelso/New_Reaction_Pathways/New_Reaction_Pathways.html
Go to "Extras" in Menu and select Naming Alkane Isomers, then "4 For You to Try" again.
I'm using ActionScript2 and set for Player 9.

Yes, my original technique was to upload the Parent SWF to a folder and then the HTML widget on my webpage would load the file from that location. As you say, all the daughter swf's had to be uploaded into the folder created for that webpage when iWeb uploads my website to MobileMe. This has worked fine for all my other daughter swf's but (I'm presuming) there is something about the Learning Interaction that doesn't let it work this way.
The other disadvantage of doing it that way is that anytime I tweak the original webpage and iWeb uploads the changes, it recreates the page folder minus all my daughter swf's and I have to upload them manually again.
What I've now done is uploaded all the daughter swf's to the same folder as the Parent and added a full web address to this folder in all my loadMovie commands in the Parent swf. Done this way, the swf with the Learning Interaction works as intended.
Many thanks for taking the time and interest to help.

Learning Interactions not working in Chrome

This is my first time using Captivate (8.01). My problem is that 3 widgets/learning interactions are not working when viewed in Chrome. It is a responsive project. They work fine in Safari.
Would greatly appreciate any information about how I can fix this. Thanks.

Yes. Jeopardy, Process Circle and Millionaire. I did find out (through a nice, long -and helpful -chat with Adobe support) that these interactions will work on the Chrome browser when accessed from an LMS. I needed to send them out to reviewers because I didn't have access to an LMS. I just defaulted and asked them to use a different browser.
Thanks for replying and offering to help.

How Can I Remove Tabs That I Added in a Learning Interaction Widget?

Hello, I inserted a "Tabs" Learning Interaction widget into a Captivate 8 project I'm working on. Adding tabs is easy enough by simply hitting the plus button. But when I want to remove a tab, I can't for the life of me determine how. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

When you double-click on a Tab button in the Interaction Properties, you'll see a minus sign that will allow you to delete that tab. Beware: you need a minimum of at least 2 tabs, maximum is 5 tabs.

Using Flash Learning Interactions in Captivate

Hi there,
I am developing a short practice quiz in Captivate, but for
one of the questions I want to use a Flash CS3 learning interaction
(the "Hot Spots" one). I get the Flash file built, import it into
Cpativate, and everything works.
Now for the big question - how do I get Captivate to track
the successful/unsuccessful action from this question in a quiz? I
want to present users with a results page at the end of the
practice quiz, but since this question is not built with a
Captivate question slide (like m/c, t/f, etc.), how can I track the
result and include it on the results slide at the end?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Shawn

Hi J and welcome to our community
There is no way (back door or otherwise) that I'm aware of to
do this. Unless, of course, you mean to use Flash 8 and export the
Flash in a version 6 format.
Hopefully we will see Flash 8 files working just dandy in
Captivate version 2.
Cheers... Rick
