Project stalls after second question slide

The project (swf file) keeps freezing on the second quiz question. if i start the project on another slide, it still freezes on the second question slide presented.
I have cleared the cashe, tried setting it to a survey question. tried rebuilding the question slide. tried taking scorm off of it. tried to daisy chain the project (made more of a mess).
I have no clue why it wont play thru.
Any suggestions? I need to get this project published today.
There are 6 quiz questions in the project total.
Thanks,
Stephanie

I am thinking the file is corrupt. I rebuilt the question slides in a new file and copied and pasted the old text files over and it is now working.

  • Adobe Captivate 5 - Quiz stopping after leaving question slide to go backwards

    I'm trying to force Captivate to do something I think it wasn't designed to do - Force the user to get 100% on a quiz. I've set the attempts to 'infinite' and customized the retry messages with little bits of information for the user. Currently, they can try the question as many times as they want until they get it correct but they cannot leave the slide even though there is a 'back' button available! I need them to be able to leave the question slide after attempting to answer the question, sort back through the information slides to learn the information, and return to the question slide to answer it correctly. The quiz stops entirely if you go backwards, then attempt to get back to the question slides.
    Forcing them to retake the entire quiz is not an option as this will likely frustrate the user, especially as one of our presentations includes 100 questions. Even setting the failure levels to 3 is not good because eventually, someone will miss the question entirely and have to retake the quiz.
    Any suggestions? Can this be done?
    I have a short demo with all my settings if anyone wants to see it.

    Hello,
    Yep, you are bumping onto the limitations of the current default Quizzes. If you allow multiple attempts on Question level, the user will not be able to leave the slide without exhausting those attemps or having a correct answer. If you allow multiple attempts on Quiz level, the Retake button will delete all answers and the user has to redo the whole quiz.
    The only way I found was by creating my own question slides. I even succeeded in making Quiz Retake function only for incorrect answers. This is however a lot of work and when I read the amount of questions you are providing...

  • Is there any way to get questions to appear on a question slide after a certain amount of time?

    Here is what I'm trying to accomplish.  I would like the narration to play on a slide, and some images will appear while the narration is speaking as well. Once the narration is done the questions will appear, and the user can select their answer.  I do not see anywhere that I can set timings for the question area.  I thought about making this into two slides, but if the user wants to hear the question again they would be unable to since it's on a previous slide. If anyone has an idea, or a workaround, please let me know.

    The default objects on question slides (question type, question, answers, buttons...) are embedded in that slide, don't have a separate timeline, and that is why you cannot time them individually at all.
    Two possible choices:
    Create a custom question slide, using standard objects (over which you have total control), advanced actions and scored objects to transfer the score to a LMS if that is necessary
    Use two slides as you already proposed: you can set the objects to display for the rest of the project, so that they also will be visible on the second, question slide. You can add a shape button to a question slide, to have the narration played again if the user wishes, using the same audio clip as you used as slide audio (I think) on the previous slide, now with the command 'Play audio'.

  • Rewind swfs with played question slides

    I have a custom Flash player that loads and plays Captivate
    swf files. When the player loads a Captivate-generated swf that is
    a "question slide", the player is unable to rewind the swf after
    the question has been answered. These question slides are limited
    to a certain number of attempts. My question is, is there a way,
    even when attempts are set to a fixed number, to have my player
    rewind the swf after the question has been answered? Is there some
    mechanism in the Captivate swf preventing this?

    More info: if I place a blank slide before and after the
    question slide, and republish, the player will play the first blank
    slide, skip the question slide, and play the second blank slide.
    There is some property in the question slide that prevents it from
    being played or rewound once answered.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

  • On Exit action possible on a question slide?

    I'm using Captivate 6.  My project has branching that occurs "on success" for some question slides, but if the user skips the question (which is allowed in this case) the branching doesn't happen.  On a regular slide there is an On Exit option to initiate branching, but that dropdown is greyed out on my question slide.  How can I initiate branching on a question slide if the question is skipped?
    Thanks,
    Glenn
    p.s. My first thought just now was to insert a regular slide immediately after the question slide with On Exit set on that slide to branch immediately to the correct location.  However, that adds an extra slide and maybe there's a better way?

    Hello,
    On Exit action has never been possible for question slides. Reason is that when the user has accomplished the two-step process for asnwering a question (1. Submit, 2. Click on slide or Press Y) the actions defined On Succes/Last Attempt for that question will be executed. That is embedded in the question slides. This is of course not the case for other slides. But even there On Exit events must be handled with care because they will only be done if the last frame of the slide is visited.

  • Audio on last slide after quiz questions not playing

    Captivate v5.5
    I have a project with a question pool and a series of random questions
    The random question slides are without audio.
    After finishing the question pool the project closes with the final slide which does have some audio - which runs fine when I test the slide.
    However when I test the whole project (F12) the audio on the last slide does not play.
    The audio on the slides prior to the random question slides plays without any problem.
    Any ideas please?
    Noel

    Anjaneai,
    Thanks for the suggestion. But changing the question setting to infinite attempts will just allow the user to retry each question over and over until they get it correct. I want to give them one chance to answer each question for the entire quiz. Then, if they don't pass, they can try the entire quiz again.
    I ended up finding a resolution, though. Based on one of the suggestions from this blog, I just shortened my slide time for each question to .5 sec (it was originally 3 sec). That seemed to do the trick!

  • Published Captivate 6 project freezes on slide immediately before the first question slide

    I am running both CP6 and CP7 on Windows 7.
    I am still working on projects created with Captivate 6 in Captivate 6.  However, since installing CP7, any projects that I edit and publish with CP6 freeze up on the slide just before the first question slide.
    Since I have only begun experiencing this issue since CP7 was installed, I am assuming that it is something to do with the fact that i have both versions (6 and 7) installed.
    The only solution I have found so far is to open and publish the project in CP7, but this is not ideal as the projects I am working on in CP6 are new versions of ones already published in SAP LSO and I am concerned that publishing new versions of my courses from a different CP version will cause issues in LSO.
    Any ideas why this might be happening?  Ideally, I would prefer to continue to use CP6 for existing projects and only use 7 for new projects.

    Hi there,
    Have you created those projects in CP 6 from Scratch?
    Can you check the complete version of CP 6 (Help > about Adobe Captivate), it should be 6.0.1.240 or 6.1.0.319.
    Can you test with a blank new project in CP 6 after running it as Administrator (Right Click on CP 6 icon, then select run as admin).
    Thanks.

  • Question slides distributed throughout CP7 project

    I'd like to know if it is possible to have a Captivate 7 project made up of a number of content slides with pre-test question slides being used at various different points of the course?
    At the moment when I add more than one pretest question slide they are all grouped together. The list below might help explain what I need to acheive. The reason I'm using pre-test question slides is that I don't want the results to be mixed in with the Graded questions at the end of the course.

    As always any advice is gratefully received. Thanks.

    Where I am using prestest question slides I am doing so simply to make use of the built-in question-types in Captivate, specifically the MCQ, Matching and FIB.
    In this example I require feedback to be given after each individual question (incorrect, correct, try again - 2 attempts allowed per question).
    The overall concept is to provide 2-3 content screens that teach the information before displaying a question slide to re-enforce what has just been taught. Once the user has tried the question and received basic feedback they continue to the next content slide.
    All would be solved if I could place the built-in question slides wherever I want but by the sound of it this isn't possible unfortunately.
    Is it possible to customise a survey question slide to displaycustom feedback (correct/incorrect) using advanced actions?

  • How can I make my question slide look and act like the rest of the project?

    Hi,
    I have created my project without using a template. Each time I needed to create a new screen I simply duplicated the slide and then inserted new text. This worked quite well. However, when I tried to do this for a question slide, it wouldn't let me (obviously).
    Is there a way of customising a question slide to look exactly like the rest of my project (and have the interactivity on the slide that the rest of the project has)? When I tried designing a new template and question template side and applying it to the question slide in my project, I could only insert a static image as the background on the template slide. Needless to say, there was no interactivity on the slide, i.e. no active click boxes etc, and I couldn't add these either when I applied it to the slide.
    Any help is much appreciated. This is for a Masters project, so I'm still learning the basics.
    Thanks.

    Hi Lilybiri,
    I am using Captivate 4. All of my screens so far look like a website - with menus and makeshift spry menus (image maps with click boxes). My preference is to use this layout for the question slides. However, it sounds like this isn't possible. What do other people do to make their question slides look a part of the course?
    Thanks.

  • My ipad stops after a few seconds, says slide to power off/cancel.  What is the problem?

    What could be wrong with my ipad?  it stops after a few seconds with "slide to power off" noted. 

    Settings are OK, but the internal power supply is on the verge of failure. Soon, you will not be able to turn the Time Capsule on at all after it turns off.
    Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....to discuss your options.
    Otherwise, contact Apple Support.

  • Question slide pulling information from different project

    Hi all,
    Not sure if this has happened to anyone before but I started a new project, imported a PPT deck and then started adding question slides. Except that my question slide has a caption from a previous project somehow embedded into it. I can't click on it, I can't delete it. It's even pulling the style of the 'Incomplete Caption'. I don't know how it could possibly be linked to the other project.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Okay here's what I've found: If I start a new project -> 'From PowerPoint' and I add question slides to the project, the error occurs across the board.
    If I start the new project -> 'Blank Project' and 'insert' the exact same PPT deck and THEN add the question slides the error doesn't occur.
    Not sure how or why that makes a difference, but for now I'm just happy to get back to work!!
    Thanks Manoj for checking this out

  • Can Retake Quiz button take me to 3rd question slide of the project?

    Hi,
    I am happy to join this forum. I hope anyone of you answer my question.
    I am using captivate 4. I am not storing score onto any LMS.
    I am developing an e-learning course of 30 slides. First 20 slides are content slides. I have 2 question slides as 14th and 15th slides. I don't want these 2 questions be part of my main Quiz which starts from 21st onwards which has 10 question slides. The quiz result page has "Retake Quiz Button" which is taking to the 14th slide which I dont want. Actually Retake Quiz button should take me to 21st slide only.(..and all the question slides in my course showing "Question x of 12". But I want this to show "Question x of 10" only). Because I have used 2 question slides (14th and 15th) to check the user for better understanding.
    Can anyone help me out.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Manoharan.A

    Welcome to the forum,
    Each Captivate file, if you enable scoring will report a total score, in your case the score of the 'pre' questions and of the 'real' questions. Same with the progress (which you can disable).
    Since your pretest only has 2 slides, to achieve your goal without having to create multiple files (pretest or final test separated from the main course), I would propose not to use the default Question slides for the pre-test, but to create them using standard objects, variables and advanced actions. This is perfectly possible for the most Question types, so which type did you use for the pre-test: true/false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank...? Instead of reporting the score the usual way (they get stored in the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsScored), I would store the results of the pre-test in a variable.
    Both your issues will be solved: when retaking the Quiz, since only regular Question slides are considered as a Quiz, you will be taken to the first Question slide and the progress will be as you want it to be.
    If you want to go this way, and need more help, please post your questions. I did publish some articles on use of variables and advanced actions but examples were made with CP5 (principles are the same). Captiv8r (moderator of this forum) has a gooberguide about Advanced actions (for CP4) that could be of great help:

  • Question: How to make EDQ Purge Project data after Finishing a Job?

    Hi all
    I know how to purge project data manually by clicking
    but I am wondering if there is a way to make EDQ to Purge project data after Finishing a Job by itself.
    Thank you in advance for all answer.

    Hi,
    In EDQ 9.0, there is no automated purge facility.
    However, note that you can configure a job to write only bare metrics and the data and results data that you are choosing to stage (or indeed to stage no data at all) - and you can set such options up to be variable at runtime using a run profile. It is normally better to consider purging separately from the running of jobs, since any temporary footprint a job has in the results database is cleared up automatically in any case.
    Regards,
    Mike

  • Question - Importing Flash Project into After Effects, Possible?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to open a Flash file (FLA) in After Effect?, cause I saw you can open an AEP that was converted to XFL in Flash... I want to be able to open my Flash project in After Effects, same way I can import a PSD as a composition, is there a way to do that?

    No, not possible. The principles are too different and it would require too many resources just to develop a conversion method. If you look closely, you will notice that even XFL is somewhat limited because of that. You can, however, still import SWF files once you are done with your work in Flash or render an image sequence from there.

  • Navigation issues with question slides in Captivate 6

    In earlier versions of Captivate (5.5) we have always been able to insert question slides into our projects as checkpoints and allow the user to freely navigate through the project and answer the checkpoint questions as often as they like. We have also been able to provide success and failure feedback popups for those question.
    In Captivate 6 we are seeing that question slides can apparently only be answered once and do not reset to be answered again the next time the user navigations to those slides. We want to allow the user to answer checkpoint questions as often as they like and we need to be able to provide success and failure feedback popups. We have tried every imaginable combination of setting with no success. Has anyone else been experiencing this or have a solution to this problem?
    Thanks,
    Vernon . . .

    When I run the same projects with the exact same settings side by side in Captivate 5 and Captivate 6, in the Cap 5 project I can navigate the project freely and answer the checkpoint questions repeatedly as often as I like. As I navigate the questions are reset and can be answered again every time I enter the question slides.
    In Cap 6 the questions are locked after the first answer and cannot be answered a second time. Even stranger is the fact that when tested using only a subset of the slides adjacent to the question slide (next 3) it works and does appear to reset the question allowing repeated answers, but it fails when the entire project is run.
    I have asked our other developers to test this and they are experiencing the same problem with their projects.
    The only difference I can see between the two projects is that the Quiz results slide in Cap 6 cannot be deleted whereas it does not exist in the Cap 5 project ???
