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

  • 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:

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 issues

    Has anyone experienced this problem. If it's not fixable, my

  • I bought a Canon 8400F scanner- question about multiple photos being scanne

    Hi,
    I have a question about about scanning photos. It was posted that if you scan something with multiple photos, it will separate the pictures.
    If I put 6 pictures on the scanner, will it automatically scan them and separate them, or is there something in the software where I select it to separate each picture.
    Thank you

    I'm not at my Mac right now but it should be real obvious in the CanoScan software. Open it up and play around. It will jump out at you.
    You don't tell it to select "each" picture. You merely tell it that there are multiple pictures and it then does everything automatically.

  • Question about multiple application modules.

    Hello,
    Suppose I have 2 database schema’s. For both schemas I have 1 application module. All view objects are in the same project.
    For each application module I have an application definition.
    Is it possible to link between these two applications? Because sometimes these database schema’s link to each other and you would like to jump from one application directly to the other.
    For example you have orders locates in 1 DB schema and customers in another DB schema.
    You would want to jump from the order directly to the customer details in the second schema.
    Is this possible? Or do I need to make nested application modules etc?
    I can find very little info about this; the JHS def guide does not offer much information about multiple application modules etc.
    -Anton

    Anton,
    Yes, you can jump aroundd as you like.
    You just can't use view links between VO's based on different db schema tables.
    Nesting AM's doesn't help there, the DB connection of the top-level AM will be used.
    Why don't you create synomyms for the tables in the other schema?

  • Question about multiple LTS

    Hi,
    I am currently working with the rpd and a general doubt pops up... in the physical layer I have dimensions related, like for example Person, related to another dimension City and for example Age (with Foreign Key join):
    City -< Person
    Age -< Person
    So in order to have a true star schema in the BMM, I need to create a single logical table with these three physical tables, right? The question is how.
    I can add the physical tables as 3 logical table sources, or have one single logical table source, mapped to these three physical tables.
    What is the difference, if any? Can someone explain, please? I always use the first choice (multiple logical table sources, each of them mapped to one physical table), but is it better to have just one single logical table source?
    Thanks in advanced :)

    I'm not surprised that it works fine, but there is a chance that it can lead to some problems. Let me explain.
    You now have three LTS in your Logical dimension table Person.
    Person
    Age
    City
    When you create a report with columns from City and the Fact table, the BI Server will need to set up a join path between Fact and City table. There is no other option then via the physical Person table. So the BI Server decides for you to create a join between fact and person and person and city.
    When the City is joined to other tables in the physical layer then the BI Server might create another join path between Fact and City, because it thinks it is more efficient. This can lead to inccorect results.
    When you add the three physical tables to one LTS, you explicitly tell the BI Server, to create a join path from Fact to City table via the Person table.

  • Question about multiple audio tracks

    Hello,
    I see that imovie has only 2 audio tracks available when creating a movie. I need more than two since I will be working with a voiceover track, a soundtrack and at least one background/environment track all at one time. I won't be able to use the sound recorded with the video so that "track" is not an option.
    My question is; Am I out of luck here and need to spend the 1K for studio pro to add more multiple audio tracks?
    Also, I tried working with garageband but since all of my audio tracks import in at a minimum of 40 beats per minute, the voiceovers are all sped up and sound chipmunky.
    Thanks for any help!

    Well I didn't mean to irritate you...LOL And yes, I realize that this is the iM 6 forum but the gist of my question was related to multiple audio tracks in iM and thought I would ask about it in the forum pertaining to the latest release.
    I had already posted a question in the GB forum regarding the bpm problem and found no answers so I was pretty much about to shelve that idea and forgo the whole garageband thing; this without knowing about the new "swap" features. I just updated to iM 6 yesterday.
    As far as the "on-tape" raw audios: I was working on my movie in iM4. I wanted to add more audio bits but I don't have a proper mic for my G5 so I recorded the audio bits on dv8 tape through my camcorder. I imported the video (the image was the inside of my lens cap!), extracted the audio, took those audio files and imported them into GarageBand. That's when I noticed the bpm problem.
    I'm sorry about the lack of info I originally gave but like I said, I had pretty much gave up on the idea of using GarageBand. I'm pretty new at this and I'm trying to decide what I need in terms of software to get what I want out of my movie. I'd be willing to pay for FCxp but still looking into whether I need to do just that or whether I can get by by using imovie and now it looks like GarageBand too.
    ah, thanks for that
    what irritates me, Prince wrote:
    The audio tracks were voiceovers that came from my
    dv8tape, imported into imovie4.
    ... ehm, but this is the iM 6(six) section, as said,
    iM 6 allows now "swapping" files with GB3... (I'm way
    back in the 90ies.... see my specs... )
    so, video is in some iM, and he wants to use the
    actual "on-tape" raw audios...

  • OT: question about multiple root directories

    ok, so on this website i just transferred to a new host, i
    password
    protected a directory, and for many people (possibly
    everyone) it is
    asking for the login info twice or three times before it lets
    you in. i
    contacted the host tech support, who gave me an explanation
    that i don't
    think makes sense. or maybe it does, but i don't think
    applies to my
    problem. and even if it does, they didn't offer any advice on
    how to
    solve the problem, just what might be causing it. bad tech
    support.
    anyway, i had a different idea about what the might be. there
    are two
    root directories on the server: public_html and www. they
    both have the
    same files, and therefore my protected directory is protected
    in both
    places. to me, that seems like it could be why it's asking
    for login
    info more than once.
    so, i want to find out if this is the case by deleting the
    one i'm not
    uploading to. so basically, my question is, if i have chosen
    public_html
    as the directory that i upload to, is it safe to delete the
    www
    directory? or is there a reason that i need two root
    directories and,
    essentially, two copies of my site on the server?
    i realize these are probably questions best suited for my
    host, but i'm
    unimpressed with their tech support so far (though i like
    everything
    else about them), and i'm confident that someone here will be
    able to
    answer this question for me.
    thanks!

    ok, well that's good to know! thanks.
    also, i changed my mind about the tech support response.
    here's what he
    said:
    Typically when you are seeing multiple login prompts like
    what you
    describe it has to do with content/site linking.
    Here is a rather wordy explanation:
    When entering a password-protected web site for the first
    time, you
    will occasionally notice that you are asked for your
    password twice.
    This may happen immediately after you entered the password
    the first
    time, or it may happen when you click on the first link
    after
    authenticating the first time.
    This happens for a very simple, but nonetheless confusing,
    reason,
    again having to do with the way that the browser caches the
    login
    information.
    Login information is stored on the browser based on the
    authentication realm, specified by the AuthName directive,
    and by
    the server name. In this way, the browser can distinguish
    between
    the Private authentication realm on one site and on another.
    So, if
    you go to a site using one name for the server, and internal
    links
    on the server refer to that server by a different name, the
    browser
    has no way to know that they are in fact the same server.
    For example, if you were to visit the URL
    http://example.com/private/,
    which required authentication, your
    browser would remember the supplied username and password,
    associated with the hostname example.com. If, by virtue of
    an
    internal redirect, or fully-qualified HTML links in pages,
    you are
    then sent to the URL
    http://www.example.com/private/,
    even though
    this is really exactly the same URL, the browser does not
    know this
    for sure, and is forced to request the authentication
    information
    again, since example.com and www.example.com
    <
    http://www.example.com> are
    not exactly the same hostname. Your
    browser has no particular way to know that these are the
    same web site.
    at first i thought that didn't make any sense because i've
    been using
    the same url every time. but after paying closer attention
    during the
    login process, i see that he's right. i've been typing in the
    url with
    the www, but once you get logged in, there is no www. so i
    tried typing
    it in without the www, and i got right in with the first
    attempt.
    so, i suppose my question now is, can i make it so that
    typing in the
    url with the www, lets you in on the first login attempt? or
    should i
    just tell everyone to leave out the www?
    thanks for the help!

  • Another question about multiple copies

    I've seen several others posting questions lately about making multiple copies, but my question is just slightly different. I'll be making an iDVD project for our 5th Grade Recognition at school. Obviously, I'll be making it on my Mac at home. However, once it's finished and I have my final DVD, I'm going to need to make over 50 copies.
    Last year, when I did the presentation as a Powerpoint show, it was easy enough to use multiple (Windows) computers at school to duplicate. There are 4 computers that I used to just rotate CD's in and out of to make copies.
    Will I be able to use a Windows machine to make copies of an iDVD disk? I know that the computers can burn DVD's, so that's not an issue. I can't remember exactly which programs the computer have. I believe that one is Sonic something. The one that I used for CD's was IRecordNow (or something like that).
    Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?

    Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?
    No. Only DVDs made in a production house have copy protection applied.
