Multiple Choice Quiz issues

Hello
I just build a multiple choice quiz using Captivate 3. The
quiz have3 right answers. I set it up so that the user has infinite
number of attempts. However after the first try I can try the quiz
again.
Has anyone experienced this problem. If it's not fixable, my
project is doomed.

Can you restate the problem you're having? Is it that you can
NOT try the quiz again?
Otherwise, from what you wrote, it doesn't sound like there's
a problem...

Question about Multiple Choice Quiz

I have multiple choice quiz that I'd like make more complex. The quiz is based on a movie clip with a series of questions on different frames and the same set of answer buttons on each frame (no keyframes on the answer button layer). The user clicks a button to go from one question to the next. There’s a scoring mechanism that displays the number of correct answers (score), the total number of answers clicked (right or wrong), and the percentage of right answers.
For each question, only the first answer counts toward the score. If you click correctly the first time, a point is added to the score and to the total. If you click incorrectly the first time, a point is added to the total only. After you give the first answer, right or wrong, you can still click on all the answers to see which answer was correct; the correct answer button changes in appearance and the correct sound cue plays but no point is added to the score or total. If you click on a wrong answer after you’ve given the first answer, the incorrect sound cue plays but no point is added to the total. In other words, you can’t help or hurt your score after clicking on the first answer, but you can determine which answer was correct.
This all works fine.
But now I want to make a similar exercise that has TWO questions on each frame. The answers both come from the same set of answer buttons. The question is how to preserve the “only the first click counts” mechanism for each of the two answers, since clicking on the answer to the first question will mark the frame as “answer has been given” and prevent any further scoring. There needs to be a point given for each correct answer on the frame.
Here’s the code from an answer button in the existing quiz. How would I modify this to allow for two answers per frame?
on (press) {
                /* This code executes whether this is the first click on the answer button or a subsequent click. If the answer is correct (if this is frame 1 or 3), the correct sound cue plays and the answer button changes its appearance, and if the answer is incorrect (if this is any other frame), the incorrect sound cue plays */
                if (_currentframe == 1){
                        _parent.snd_obj.playsound("correct", "cue1");
                        answer1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
                }else if (_currentframe == 3){
                        _parent.snd_obj.playsound("correct", "cue1");
                        answer1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
                }else{
                        _parent.snd_obj.playsound("incorrect", "cue2");
                /* This code executes only if this is the first click on the answer button. It checks to see if an answer has been clicked in this frame, and if not, it marks the answer as given (so this code will be executed only once) and then adds one point to the total, one point to the score for correct answers, and re-calculates the percentage */
                if (!_parent.answerGiven[_currentframe]) {
                        _parent.answerGiven[_currentframe] = true;
                        _parent.total = _parent.total + 1;
                        _parent.percent = Math.round((_parent.score / _parent.total) * 100);
                       if (_currentframe == 1){
                               answer1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
                               _parent.score = _parent.score + 1;
                               _parent.percent = Math.round((_parent.score / _parent.total) * 100);
                      }else if (_currentframe == 3){
                           answer1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);
                           _parent.score = _parent.score + 1;
                           _parent.percent = Math.round((_parent.score / _parent.total) * 100);
                       }else{
                           _parent.snd_obj.playsound("incorrect", "cue2");

This is indeed a very random issue. I have seen this in earlier versions of Captivate as well. I always create my template files from the blank theme, so I don't think it is specific to the theme.
As for solutions, sometimes changing the quality of slide to high worked, other times just reopening Captivate worked. Here are some of the solutions I have found on these forums:
1. Create one more answer than I need (ie for a 4 answer question, create 5 answers) and then delete answer B.
2. Uninstalled/reinstalled my Captivate 6 software

Keynote and multiple choice quizes

Does anyone know of a way to create a multiple-choice quiz with Keynote?
What I mean is, can you create links from a question page (with video and text) with 4 options and then create pages responding to the users' choice...correct or incorrect... then move onto the next question page etc...?
Is there a way to use the Hyperlinks function in Keynote for this purpose?
I plan to export to iDVD and have an interactive quiz DVD...
I remember doing something similar a while back with Powerpoint.
I like to push the boundaries and see what can be squeezed out of a piece of software...

Sorry for the late response...
What do you mean by "I'm just saving them on my computer". Do you open the PDF with some application (which one?) and then do a save from that application?
You can send your PDF (with the missing border) to [email protected] with a reference to this post and I can have a look at it.

Is it possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers?

Hello forum,
I am using Captivate version 6.1.0.319 on a Windows 7 desktop PC and would like to know if it is possible to flip the multiple choice quiz "radio" button from left to right of the answers. I am working on a project that uses the "Require Right to Left composer" within the Global Preferences: General settings. The captions has been switched from left to right but the quiz answer radio buttons did not. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I'm not aware of such a possibility. A workaround could be to create your own MCQ slides, using standard objects and widgets like the radiobuttons widget (there is an enhanced version created by Jim Leichliter) and advanced actions. These articles were written for previous versions, but can give you an idea about the work involved:

Creating a multiple choice quiz with rollover answers

Hello, I am trying to create a multiple choice quiz question where the answer does not appear until the user mouses over the appropriate letter. I have been working on the multiple choice question slide for Captivate, but it appears I can only use text captions with static text. If anyone knows of a workaround, or a way to add multiple choice question functionality to a blank slide I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks I see the pictures now. That helps a lot. You have a great writeup on the advanced actions to make this work so I think I'll be good with that portion. I do have a couple of stylistic questions though:
Unfortunately, having any sort of highlight color will not work with the theme I need to use. Do you know how to remove highlighting, or make it transparent?
I have three questions, and was able to get the three choice bubbles lined up by reshaping the widget. Do you know of any way to increase/decrease space between the selection bubbles without reshaping the widget? I'm concerned that when we review the course the project sponsor may ask for spacing that I can not create by reshaping the widget.

Multiple Choice Quiz with all possible answers weighted

I am currently trying to create a multiple choice quiz with 29 questions nin captivate 5.5. Every question will have 4 answers similar to those on a standard survey (Strongly agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Diagree.) Dependent on the answer given I would like each answer to have a weighted value between 1-4 to give a final score which will be sectioned into 3 categories. I am able to weight a question but can't figure out how I can weight all answers per question. Any help would be grealy appreciated

Hello and welcome to the forum
You created custom question slides, I suppose? How familiar are you with advanced actions and variables? I published some articles and blog a lot about them. Here you'll find a list with articles, think that the first 1 of them could give you an idea how to proceed. Can you read them, and later I will try to help you if you are stuck. Will need some more details in that case about 'how I can weight all answers per question.' Moreover, do you want to report to a LMS or is the conclusion about the final score to provide feedback to the user?

Multiple Choice Question Issues

I am embedding a quiz within my presentation with individual
question slides interspersed throughout the presentation. These
questions are pulled from a couple of different question pools. I
want to use a multiple choice question that branches to different
parts of the presentation depending on the correct or incorrect
answer. If the user answers the question incorrectly, I send them
to the next slide which has two click boxes. On this slide, they
can either click one box to move back in the presentation and
review the material or click another box to move them forward to
another multiple choice question. If they go back and review the
information, they would eventually return to the same multiple
choice question to try it again. (This is the desired navigation,
anyway.)
What actually happens is that when the user goes back to
review the information and then finally returns to the question,
the question has not been reset and still shows the incorrect
answer marked with no way to clear it.
I have used this same navigation on a drag-and-drop type
question and it works fine. All the settings for the
multiple-choice questions are set the same as in the drag-and-drop
question.
Any help in making this work correctly would be greatly
appreciated.

I can't see where that error might arise except possibly for a case where an AS2 radio is used since it appears they don't have a group property, but an AS3 radio button does. Check to be sure that your Flash Publish Settings are set to use AS3. AS3 errors normally have error numbers which also makes the error you quoted ring of an AS2 scenario.
Here's a link to the file I made based on your code that works fine and doesn't display the errors you mention. It is a CS3 file.

Adobe Captivate - Multiple Choice Quiz Question - Radio Button and Text Alignment

I have created a quiz with multiple choice questions.
No matter what I do I cannot align the radio button and the text for the choices (see below).
I would like to align the center of the radio button with the center of the letter A) and B).
I have tried every option that I can think of in the Properties options.
Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply.
Previously I tried several different combinations of fonts and font sizes, but didn't see any change.
Does anyone else know of anything else that could effect this situation?

Why is the placeholder Q&A for multiple choice not visible on screen?

After inserting 6 Multiple choice quiz slides in Captivate 7, the placeholder Q&A text is not visible, so there's no way for me to modify them with my Q&A's. However, they are visble in Preview mode. Any suggestions?
This is happeneing in a project that someone else created & I am editing. I made a new version & copy/pasted the quiz slides into a new file. Ever since then I've had this problem. When I open the original file, it's now doing the same thing there as well. What gives??
Below is what I'm seeing. If you look at the slides on the filmstrip on the left, you can see that there is nothing there, however in the Preview, you can see the placeholder text.

Hi Rod & Lily! Thanks so much for replying.
OK - the screen shot below is what I see when I am in edit mode. Completly blank except for the "Multiple Choice" heading at the top. I've highlighted in red on the Properties & Filmstrip, which Master slide I'm using. Hopefully you can see that on the Master Slide the placeholder text is there, but not in the edit view.
Lily - below is a screen shot of the Quiz Properties. Hopefully you can see it.

Change Multiple Choice Options from A, B, C to 1, 2, 3?

I am using Captivate 8.1. I need to create a multiple-choice quiz where the answer options are 1, 2, and 3 instead of A, B, and C. I can't find a setting anywhere that lets me change the "numbering" (for lack of a better term) format of the multiple-choice question. Does anyone know if it is possible to do this?

In Quiz Properties panel, at the top, just under Points and Penalty, you'll find Numbering with a dropdown list.
I think you are on 8.0.1.242, there is not a version 8.1

Adobe Presenter 8 quiz multiple choice responses changing order

I published a quiz in Adobe Presenter 8.
After it was published, one of the multiple choice questions had the order of the responses literally listed as:
     B)
     A)
     C)
     D)
Instead of:
     A)
     B)
     C)
     D)
Has anyone ever experienced this before?
If so, is there a solution?
Thank you........

Hi,
What do you see on the the pptx slide (not in the published output).
Is it
B)
A)
C)
D)
or
A)
B)
C)
D)
If it is the first one , Please change in the pptx slide and publish.
If it is the second one, try to republish.
If the Issue still exists, please inbox me the pptx as well as the published output at [email protected]
Thanks

Grey box over multiple choice options in quiz (Captivate 5.5)

I created several quiz slides - all multiple choice. When the mouse is moved over the answer options a grey box highlights the radio button and text of the option. I'd rather not have this grey box displayed. Any ideas on how I turn off this "feature"?

Interesting. Can you upload screenshots of a question with the grey rollover and a question that does not have it, each with a mouse cursor over an answer item, so that we can see?
Is this a project that has been upgraded from an older version of Captivate or was it built from scratch in Captivate 5.5?

Add more than 8 quiz multiple choice options???

I have one slide that needs a quiz and has 10 or 11 multiple choice options/answers. I can't get more than 8. Does anyone know how to get more than 8 answers for multiple choice?
Thank you in advance!

The version is CP8 - 8.0.1.242. After doing some research, it appears that the problem is when I open a CP5.5 and CP7 file in CP8. I remember I had this problem with CP7. I made a new file in CP8 and made a multiple choice slide, added 4 more answers, no problem. I am going to have to live with down level files. Just does not look professional. At some time, I will redo ALL of the quiz slides.
Thank you for your help

Captivate Quiz issue

I created a 8 question quiz in Captivate at the end of a 80
slide project. The quiz drops off elements of the quiz slide, like
the top radio button of a multiple choice question and no answers
are correct, even when you are able to answer them correctly with
the information displayed. The quiz slides do not advance properly
either. The quiz summary never appears. The rest of the project
runs fine. I can copy only the quiz into a seperate project and the
quiz will run WITHOUT an issues.

Hi mymini7 and welcome to our community
First off, I'd like to point out that I'm simply a recognized
volunteer here. I'm not an Adobe employee.
As with any software, it's not common to see limitations
listed among the "selling features". The typical run-of-the-mill
movie is said to be anywhere between 50-65 slides long. But as with
anything, this varies. Factors such as:
* Physical dimensions of the movie
* How much audio is being used
* How many objects are being used
can come into play here. I've heard of folks with 30 slide
movies that are just "too large" for things to work right. And at
the other end of the spectrum, I've heard of folks that regularly
create movies 130 slides long that play with no issues whatsoever.
Anyone encountering issues should really report them via
this
link.
Sincerely... Rick
