Problem with quiz

Can anyone help me out. i am fairly new to using Aurthorware
and have created a training demo which has 2 quizzes in it.
The problem I am having is that when I run the package only
one or the other quiz will work. Whichever one I go to first will
work and the other will just show up with the summary saying 0
questions etc.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

You can initialize the specific variables that are being
used...

Problem with quiz results.

Hey guys, i have a problem with a quiz that i need to do, i've been using this template: http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/flashMXQuiz/index.html
But what i need and it doesnt include is how to put a message at the end of the game which tells you that you won or lost depending if you had at least two questions right or less than two right.
I´ve been searching and have not found any code that i could just add to my ActionScript.
I also have been trying with variables like this:
if(numofQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly>=2){gotoAndPlay(3)}
else
{gotoAndPlay(6)}
..and stuff like that. I'm sorry if that's completely wrong..I'm just starting to learn.
I hope anybody can help me with this.
Thanks

Page 3 of the tutorial shows you the SummaryScreen. They calculate the percent correct there:
userScore=(numOfQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly * 100) / (numOfQuestionsAnsweredIncorrectly + numOfQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly);
It's right there you should stick your code to change to the frame you desire. Make sure you're changing the correct clips playhead.
Do note they're using a lot of frame labels (and they're using flash player 6 with some ancient ActionScript 1.0 coding). There's a chance this quiz won't work in the future. Even ActionScript 2.0 has been depreciated and is currently unsupported by the latest version, Flash CC. It doesn't mean the browser plugin doesn't support it but eventually it may. It's long overdue..
For the 1.0 code though, at the point I mentioned you should be able to do it with what you have (if you want to switch the main timeline to those frames via _root.
if (numofQuestionsAnsweredCorrectly >= 2)
_root.gotoAndPlay(3)
else
_root.gotoAndPlay(6)
If you want "some other" clip to move to that frame then add the instance name after _root, e.g. _root.myClip.gotoAndPlay(3);, etc..

Problem with quiz's report.

Hello!
I'm new in Adobe Captivate.
Actually I have a problem to export the results of the quizes to a e-mail with an excel attached.
Somebody can help me?
Thank you.

there is no standard portal opening page...
when you say data is in correct what is it that you are comparing it to..
If its with ECC then first do a listcube and check for that data in the cube.
If data existis in the cube then check filters on query..
If data does not exist in cube you might have to scehdule a load for that selection or see why was it missed in delta

Problem with Quiz created in Captivate 4 imported to Captivate 5

Good day,
I finally got upgraded to the eLearning Suite so I am now using Captivate 5. I have a course that has a quiz built in Captivate 4. It is designed that if the user scores less than 80%, they are returned to the start of the quiz. If they pass, it is supposed to jump them to the "completion" screen" I have created. However, since I imported this into Captivate 5 and I view the quiz, on the first fail, it takes me back to the beginning of the quiz on my first try. However, on the second try if I fail it again, it just goes to a white screen. I have changed the "On Fail" settings to 999 and indefinite. Neither seem to have an impact. Not sure what else I could try.
The thought of rebuilding the quiz makes me wish we had more than three stories in this building!
Here is a link to my captivate 5 file. http://coventry.mzinga.com/content/ss/TestSCORMFiles//Enhanced_Authorization_Integration/w orkers_comp_just_the_quiz.cptx
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric
While it may make you feel like you have accomplished something by asking if Adobe has updates, what you have done is the equivalent of walking into the waiting area of the service department of a car dealership and asking aloud if there are any updates on your vehicle. The other customers are likely the only ones that hear you ask and they just look back at you with puzzled expressions on their faces.
The thing is, this forum is a bit unusual in that members of the actual Adobe Captivate development team visit here occasionally. But you can't count on that being the case. They do have other work to do.
Cheers... Rick

Problem with quiz scoring

I'm still having an issue with this.....
Total of 30 questions spread throughout the project. The
first 15 are set up as graded questions since I want to make sure
the learner gets them right, but I don't want the scores reported
so I have these set to zero point value and do not have report
answers checked. The last 15 are also graded questions, 10 points
each, and report answers are checked. Learner must get 70% or
better to pass. When I go through the course, the results slide is
showing total 30 questions and the number correct out of 30,
although it is only calculating the score for the last 15. Somehow
I need to separate these out so that only the last 15 are reported.
I tried changing the objective ID, but it changes it for all 30
questions so Captivate is looking at these as one pool of
questions. Any thoughts?

I don't see how you can specify some questions as "graded but
not reported". If you want to know how the user did at all, the
score must be reported.
Since it sounds like the Quiz Summary page is the holdup, you
might be able to get away with splitting the project into two
separate files with two different values for "quiz passing":
- one containing the first 15 questions (each scored as you
would any other quiz question) but give it an overall quiz passing
score of zero to ensure that the user always "passes"
- a second containing the "real" test questions with a "real"
quiz passing score
That way, the Quiz Summary page will reflect only the
questions in each file and you'll still have data for each set of
questions: one set of "user score not held against them" questions
and a set of "must achieve a minimum passing score"
questions.

Problems with quiz "continue" and "review" buttons in presenter presentation sent to connect pro

I have a training module, built in powerpoint, modified with Presenter, and posted to Connect Pro on Adobe's server. The post quiz has 10 questions, and when the final score page displays, it gives the user the options to "Continue" or to "Review Quiz". The Continue button should take the user either to the next slide OR to the beginning of the presentation depending if their score was passing or not. The Review Quiz button shows the user the quiz question slides, but to advance to subsequent slides, the user needs to use the "forward" buttons on the play bar.
My questions:
Even though I have set the quiz to allow up to 10 tries, there is no way to retake the quiz. Am I missing something?
I looked at the infite tries option, but it wouldn't let me designate where to go next.
If the user clicks the "review quiz" button first, when they return to the score summary page, the "continue" button doesn't work.
How can I configure so the user can "retake" the quiz?
I appreciate any thoughts or solutions to these issues.
Angel T

Hi,
Even though I have set the quiz to allow up to 10 tries, there is no way to retake the quiz. Am I missing something?
To retake the quiz , user have to go to the beginning of the quiz using the TOC.
or
The author may put a button say "Retake" on the result slide which takes the user to the beginning of the quiz.
or
In the quiz settings, set the options: If failing grade n attempts and go to slide which marks the beginning of the Quiz.
I looked at the infite tries option, but it wouldn't let me designate where to go next.
If the nymber of attemts is infinite, the default setting is goto next slide. You may change it by selecting the continue button on the slide. Go to Actions, and set the hyperlink
If the user clicks the "review quiz" button first, when they return to the score summary page, the "continue" button doesn't work
This should work. Could you please mail me a sample presentation which sees this issue ? Mail me at [email protected]
How can I configure so the user can "retake" the quiz?
The first question have the answer for this also.
Let me know if you need any further help.
Thanks,

Misc. problems with Quiz

I created a quiz for the first time with the questions pool manager and I'm getting some really strange results when I take the quiz:
1) If I click the Forward button to go to the next question, the quiz ends, and the reporting screen is wrong - it says I answered the question wrong, but I answered it correctly. Then, the Continue button does not work, and when I click Review, I go back to the question and the screen says I did not complete the question - but I did. Is clicking Forward the wrong thing to do in a quiz? If so, I need to warn the user not to do that (which seems like a strange thing to have to do).
2) If I click Submit for the first question instead of Forward, the quiz ends. I can't seem to go on to the second question.
3) When I restart the quiz, I get a screen full of randomly placed rollover captions from previous slides - weird! No matter how many times I restart or re-publish, that garbage is still on the screen.
4) When I click Review, I can go back to the first question, but there is no way to exit the quiz (buttons don't help) except for clicking Forward (which was a bad thing to click previously!)
I must admit, my first experience with the Question Pool was fine, but actually taking a quiz I created was a totally crazy experience. I must be doing something wrong here - can't believe that Captivate would be that unfriendly to quiz users ...
Ideas?

A little progress ...
The quiz works OK in Preview now, but NOT when I publish it.
The published version is missing all the questions - they all show up as blank, whereas in Preview they show up fine. The Summary screen traps me - the Continue and Forward buttons don't work (I assume they should work automatically) and Review just sends me back to the blank screens to click through again.
I have re-published many times, deleted target files, etc. - no luck - but Preview is working.
Is my installation hosed, or is there a simpler explanation for why Publish doesn't match Preview??
Also, halfway thru the quiz in Preview, the "Correct/Incorrect" function suddenly stops advancing me to the next slide and I have to click Forward to proceed ... strange ...

Few problems with Quiz Results Analyzer Error 16824 and No Companies found in the current user accou

First I have QRA version 1.0 but when I try to upgrade to 1.5 via the in app Check for updates I get this error: There was an error downloading the update. Error# 16824.
I've tried uninstalling AIR, QRA, eLearning Suite, and reinstalling, but nothing works.
Secondly, when trying to view the results on a remote server (php 5, *nix) I am unable to do so. If I do it on localhost I can view the results fine however. If I download the CaptivateResults folder from my site I can open and view it fine as well. The folder structure is being created on the internal server and it matches the folder structure when I use localhost.
The error I'm getting when trying to view it remotely is: No Companies found in the current user account.
For my quiz I have the internalServerReporting.php file referrenced in the server reporting section. and the QRA I am using internalserverread.php. No matter what I try the error is still persistant when attempting to view from my server.
Any and all help is appreciated.

Adobe Captivate 5 - Problem with scoring with Quiz exported to PDF

Hello,
I have created several review quizzes that have been exported to pdf and uploaded to the internet. They are elementary school quizzes that are listed on a canned school web hosting site that only allows uploads in common formates such as Microsoft Word and pdf.
I tested these pdf quizzes with no problems and from my computers they still work fine; however some people are having problems with the scoring element. Some - not all questions are not tabulated correctly in the end review section. I have been told that the questions were answered correctly but the end review showed some questions as wrong or not answered. The quizzes are reveiw only and no reporting or LMS is used.
Has anyone else seen this? I had a feeling that perhaps the adobe reader was at fault, but so far everyone is using reader version 9.
One of the quizzes can be found here.. http://www.germantownschools.org/faculty/jwoger/4th_math_topic_1_quiz[1].pdf
Tim

Hi,
I have since my initial post been told that certain elements of the quiz slides are also not working. Correct answers have a sound clip that plays when the "correct" option is selected. This is not working for some users. Like I said I have no problem with the pdf quiz from any of the computers I use and don't know why it doesn't work for others.

Problem with unstable and slow SWFs

Good evening,
Some of my users are reporting problems with the SWF output of my intensive Captive file which includes significant software simulation. I knew that these files were going to be resource intensive due to the nature of the project, but I felt comfortable with system requirements of at least 2 gb RAM and a mid-range processor.
Unfortunately, some of my users who meet this criteria are reporting problems including text animations not playing in full and slow slide transitions. I cannot replicate this problem on any of my machines.
I have been playing around trying to compress images as much as possible and otherwise reduce file size. What else can be done? What are the top five things I can do to remedy this problem?
My presentation is about 50 slides and the SWF output is about 4.5 mb.
Thanks

I've seen this type of thing many times, especially in corporate environments.
My top suggestions:
If you've taken all reasonable steps to make your project as web-friendly as possible by this time, don't make any more changes to your project until you've exhausted the possibilities below. It is most likely NOT your project that is at fault.
Find out more details from the users that are complaining. If at all possible, actually go and sit with them to watch the behaviour they're talking about. Don't believe everything you hear.
Check that users are on the correct version of Flash Player. For example, Flash Player 10 can play significantly better than Flash 9.
Ask the user to check defragmentation on their PC. Most users DON'T know how to do this and never defragment. As a result, I have seen PCs in corporate IT environments that had not been defragmented in years. Their hard drive showed up mostly red when the fragmentation analysis was done. This lack of PC housekeeping can contribute to many issues, especially with Flash or multimedia playback. Ask the user to defragment 2 or 3 times to be on the safe side.
Watch the CPU on Task Manager while the PC is playing the Captivate presentation. The performance monitor should tell you if the CPU is struggling and unable to decode the content fast enough.
Try to have another user log onto the same machine using a different profile and see if they experience the same issues. This can tell you whether the issue is due to a corrupted user profile. Conversely, have the same user log onto a different machine, creating a new profile for themselves on that PC to see if they experience the same issue. If it seems to be their profile at fault, they may need to get some IT dude to blow away their profile and set it up afresh.
Check whether or not the issue could be due to server latency. This is especially the case where LMSs are involved. Users will often experience latency issues such as slow transitions from one quiz slide to the next because the course module has to wait for the LMS to respond before it can move forward. If this is occurring for a significant number of users, you can try using the optional SCORM template that only sends tracking data at the end of the module instead of all the way through.
In my experience, if 95% of your user base is playing the content without issue, you don't need to change anything. Chances are that whatever is going wrong for the few that are complaining about poor playback wouldn't necessarily improve no matter what you did to your project. In the vast majority of cases, you need to isolate what exactly is causing the issue for these users and correct it ON THEIR END.

UPDATE: I just realised that a lot of this information would probably help others, so I created a blog post documenting these steps: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/debug_slow_playback

Problems with getting captivate 5.5 to report completion with Internet Explorer?

Hi guys. I've been trying to get my head around this issue for quite a while now. We´ve created a pretty standard course for one of our clients, around 40 slides with some video and a quiz. We just want to check Complete/Incomplete measuring slide view completion. All reporting is as expected using browsers like Firefox or Chrome . But using Internet Explorer 8 or 9, the course reports Incomplete even with all slides visited. This occurs in both of the LMS-systems that I have access to. Has anyone else had similar problems with CP 5.5 and Internet Explorer, or does anyone have any suggestions on possible solutions?
Kind regards
/Jonas

I'm wondering if your issue is perhaps due to IE going into Quirks Mode because of the way the standard Captivate SCORM HTM templates are coded.
One thing IE does not like is having any comments outside the HTML tags at the top of a page. This is something that the Adobe Captivate templates have by default.
Take one of your published test mdoules, open up the HTM file in a text editor and remove this text at the top of the page:


Then try running this again to see if you get better results in your LMS.
If that doesn't work, try using the Pipwerks modified templates for Adobe Captivate. They are much better quality and have removed a lot of bugs that foul up some LMSs.
There's a series of articles on his blog about the changes: http://pipwerks.com/2012/01/11/cleaning-up-adobe-captivates-scorm-publishing-template-part -1-introduction/
You can find the links to download and install his version of the templates on this page: http://pipwerks.com/2012/01/25/cleaning-up-adobe-captivate%e2%80%99s-scorm-publishing-temp late-part-7-giving-the-revisions-a-home/
You need to back up your old templates before changing over to Phil's new versions (there are separate templates for SCORM 1.2 and 2004) but I recommend you at least give them a try.

Problem with Greek Fonts

We are a team of Mathematicians from Greece and we are
beginners of Authorware 7. Our goal is to develop math Quizzes for
high school students.
When I select the <Quiz> for the startup menu and the
Wizard starts, I cannot type Greek fonts (the question or the
answers for example) only English unfortunately.
Have anyone any idea what kind of settings I have to do in
order to accept Greek fonts in the Wizard.
This problem it’s a big obstacle in our project because
the questions and the answers must be in Greek.
I appreciate any helpful advice for this problem.

Intermittant problems with Flash Player 7 and 8

Good morning,
While "stress testing" a recent Captivate 2 generated quiz
lesson, one of our testers noticed some odd behavior. (Granted,
most students will not do the following actions, but I thought I'd
mention it anyway.)
First let me add that we use a LMS and that this behavior
might have something to do with the LMS, but I suspect the problem
might be in how Flash Player 7 and 8 handle viewing a SWF file.
The tester would start the quiz, answer a few questions, then
close the session (before the conclusion of the quiz). The tester
(student) would then (through the LMS) go to the quiz/lesson link
and begin again. The Quiz behaviors are that the student can't go
back to any question they have already answered. In theory the
student would go back to the next unanswered question and continue
with the quiz.
The first time this is done, everything appears to work well.
However, if the same student behavior is done again, when the
quiz/lesson is re-launched the student is taken to the very first
slide, not the one where they left off. If they go to the first
question slide they will find that it appears to be unanswered. The
student then tries to answer it and nothing happens, nore can the
student move to the next question. They are "stalled" and can go no
further. Any subsequent attempt to re-enter the quiz produces the
same effect. Additionally, if this is done without restarting the
computer the browser (Internet Explorer) will hang and they'll need
to stop the process.
I found that in Captivate 2 you have 3 options for building a
solotion when you publish a project. You can publish using Flash
Player 6, 7 or 8. Only by selecting Flash Player 6 does this
behavior stop. The Flash Player 6 selection seems to work well.
Anyone else had problems with FlashPlayer 7 and 8?

Flash Player 11 sends the getServerVersion request in order to determine the capabilities of the Flash Access license server. If you are running a 2.0 server, it should return an HTTP 404 error, since it does not support this endpoint. The client understands that to mean it is communicating with a Flash Access 2.0 server, and will send the license request accordingly. In other words, the fact that your 2.0 server does not support getServerVersion should not cause the license acquisition to fail.
Is your server responding to the getServerVersion request with a 404? After the getServerVersion request arrives at your server, you should see another request asking for a license. In your server logs, do you see any errors in the license request processing?

Problem with manifest file and Plateau LMS

I have published a course with a quiz in SCORM 1.2 and tried
to upload to a Plateau LMS.
It seems that a "page cannot be found" message is the result
after upload and we try to launch the course. The course works
outside the LMS (when run locally on my computer).
The Plateau LMS support team tried to help, and found the
following: "There is something wrong with this manifest, though I
cannot ascertain what that is exactly. Most of the file name is in
the parameter field, which is causing the launch path to look like
this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS?BRT%20Maintenance%20Template_%2020080226.htm=
Everything in the parameters field is placed after the
filename in a URLencoded querystring after the question mark that
you see above. it should look like this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS BRT Maintenance
Template_ 20080226.htm"
Can anyone please help resolve this, or have any advice?
This is the first time we have tried uploading Captivate
courses to this LMS, and we have been having problems with the
manifest file in general. I have looked at all the material I can
find on publishing and the manifest file, but cannot seem to
resolve my issue.
Thanks
Warwick

Warwick,
I have had this error with an Authorware set of SCORM files
when my LMS was looking for index.htm and I had named it index.html
- you wouldn't think that would cause an error but it did. I would
be more than happy to package a Captivate file of just a few
screens that works on my LMS (which is Learn.com's Learning
Center), and send you the SCORM files to test... That could be a
start anyhow. I will send you a private msg. with my e-mail
id.

Loadmovie, problem with (_droptarget ==)

Hi all
I have problem with loadmovie that drive me crazy!. I made a
drag and drop quiz (attached) that works perfectly but when I load
it in another movie it doesn’t work anymore!
The code that doesn’t work is:
if (getProperty("/face1", _droptarget) == "/box3")…
when the drag touch the target it should stay there.
I attached the fla. If you have an idea it would be a great
help!
Thanks

Yep you can resize a movieclip dimensions on a percentage
scale by using _xscale & _yscale which is applied from the
registration point of the movieclip. For example, I reduce the
scale of the movieclip below by 50% both horizontally and
vertically...
