Question slides auto advancing prior to an answer being selected

Hi-
I have searched the postings and cannot find anything similar to what I am experiencing.
This only happens once the user has gone through the quiz once and has failed. The passing grade is a 100%, so the chances of someone needing to re-take the quiz is rather high. What happens is when the user gets to say question 3 or so, after about 10 to 15 seconds, the slide auto advances to the next question and does not allow the user to go back and answer the question. Then on the next question it will not allow the user to select an answer.
This does not happen the first time through the quiz, only the second time through.
Has anyone else experienced this before? Any ideas of what setting I have wrong? I have all of my question sides set up the same; I have T/F and M/C.
I am using Captivate 4 (with all updates) and running the quiz through GeoLearining (our LMS).
HELP!
Thanks,
Michelle

Just a note...I have checked the timing in the playbar and it is the same for all questions and it happens on question 1 and question 9 as far as I can tell. I am not able to see how these questions are set up any differently than the other quesitons in the quiz. There are only 15 questions total in this program and a total of 20 slides.

Question slide not advancing on click to continue

I have only one question slide out of 6 and it is a
true/false question. When answered the user clicks submit and the
correct success caption appears and it indicates click anywhere to
continue. The slide doesn't continue when you click on the slide.
When you click the success caption disappears but then you have to
click submit again, the success caption appears, you click anywere
and then the slide continues. I have this slide set the same way as
other true/false slides but it does not function the same way. Why
is it doing this?

Hi,
Please try it by changing the 'on correct answer' setting to 'jump to next slide'.

Preventing slides auto advancing in Adobe Captivate 8?

Hi guys,
Is there a way to prevent slides from advancing automatically in Adobe Captivate 8? I want the user to have to click a 'next' button to move to the next slide.
The closest I've seen so far is for Captivate 6, and was an ugly workaround of having an invisible button on screen that has a pause on its timer (where the pause is placed right at the end of the slide timeline).
Thanks
Erika

D'oh! Thanks for the help finding it.
I can't seem to move the pause at all; does this mean it always pauses exactly at the end of the slide? If I'm going to use this technique then (in general) I'd like to use it like this:
- short slide length, just long enough for the following to happen:
1. objects transition or move (or other fx) onto the screen.
2. the screen pauses (giving the learner as long as they need to read/complete the screen)
3. the learner has to select the 'next' button to advance
4. the objects on screen transition or move off.
5. the next slide loads automatically, i.e. repeat steps 1-4.

Captivate 7: slide with mouse will not auto advance after publishing

After I export my Captivate video, any slide that has a mouse object on it does not auto advance. I suspected that maybe the clicking sound file default attached to the action may have become corrupted, so I opened the sound file attached to "single-click" from Captivate. In the VisualClicks folder, there were no sound files. So, I opened the ClickSounds folder and attached the Mouse.mp3 file to this action. After publishing the training, the slide still will not auto advance. The slides that do not have the mouse action advance automatically as they should. The sound file may not be the issue (going to try to uncheck all of the Mouse Click Sound check boxes and republish to see if that helps).
Was hoping to find a solution for future videos.
Each slide is basically a layer of audio > slide > png file > the occasional smart object and/or text > mouse. I have no quizzes or video.
When publishing I use the following setup swf/html5 with swf + html5 checked and scalable HTML content checked. We use Google Chrome and I've had numerous people try my HTML link after I've uploaded all files and everyone has the same issue.
1- Do you happen to know why the mouse action would cause the slide to not auto advance, and if so please let me know a solution so the user doesn't have to click next. If the mouse itself isn't the culprit, any other suggestions on what could cause this?
2- Is there a way to make changes to the audio or override the mouse properties on all slides? I tried right clicking and "use the current mouse pointer for all slides" but it didn't change any of the properties. Thankfully my video is only 110 slides or it would have been even more painful.

Windows 8.1

Of course! Here ya go
For the record, I did create a new project with only two slides to try and duplicate the issue. I had the same problem. I unchecked the Mouse Click Sound check box, republished and the slide auto advanced. I'm wondering if a default sound file was somehow moved or deleted? I discussed uninstalling and reinstalling C7 onto my laptop, but that's a frustrating solution haha

Is there a way to make drag and drop slides behave like question slides?

I created a drag and drop interaction that I want to include in an assessment with other quiz questions. I am having two problems
1. The submit and reset buttons do not display for the full 3.0s duration of the slide. Once the user clicks submit, the feedback caption displays and the buttons disappear.
2. The slide auto advances to the next question. I want the slide pause until the user "clicks anywhere to continue."
Does anyone know a work around to get a drag and drop slide to mimic question slide behavior?
Thanks!

Hi Itzelm, KurryKid,
The HTML5 trackers doesn't tell you every feature that is not supported, sorry. It will never tell you that a lot of Effects are not supported either. There is an 'incomplete' list of supported features in the Help documentation. Here is my list (bit rough, no nice layout, sorry)
Supported effects in HTML5
Entrance- Fly-in (all) - Ease-in (all)Exit - Fly-out (all) - Ease-out (all)Motion Path - Left-to-Right - Left-to-Right Ease - Pentagon - Rectangle - Right-to-left ease
- Right-to-left3point - RightToLeft - Triangle - ZigZag
Audio objects (audio attached to invisible objects)
If project is paused, audio attached to object that is made visible will not play in HTML whereas it does in SWF
No rollovers (caption, image, slidelet)
Questions:
No Likert, FIB, Short Answer, Matching
No question pools, random questions
No right-click, double click
No Text animations, no SWF animations(animated GIF possible)
No Slide transitions
No borders

Use back button and clear advanced action and quiz answer..

OK, so I have made a quiz where the answer for each question is recorded and given in a list at the end. However, I would like the user to be able to go back and change their answer. At the moment if the user goes back, the answer is locked and they cannot chose a diiferent option.
Does anyone know if it is possible for them to go back, select a different and still have the advanced action part record the new answer?
Thanks for any help!

Only way to reset the answers to a default question slides, during the same session, is to use the Retake button on the score slide (you need to have multiple attempts of course. But that will be done at Quiz level: all answers are reset.
Another option (in CP6 and later) is to use the Submit all option, then they will be able to go back and change answers. But... I suppose you are using the system variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice to populate user variables with those advanced actions? That system variable is not populated when Submit all is chosen.
Last option is to use remediation, but it will probably not suit you: then user can be sent to a content slide if a question is failed, be sent back to the question slide and can then change the answer. It is not just going back one or more slides.
Custom question slides will allow what you want, but they necessitate a lot more work and you will not be able to use question pools.

How do I change the font color for numbering in a matching question slide?

I have a grey image on a question slide, but the numbering for the answers in a matching question is defaulting to grey so learners can't see to match up. How can I change the font color of these choices? Thanks.

You probably edited the master slide without changing the theme colors? Check the Object Style for Answers in the Object Style Manager. The numbering takes the same color as the answer text.
All depends on the Theme colors palette that you are using. Normally Question answers use the darkest tint of the fourth color. I started blogging about color management, but description of the use of Theme colors will be published later.

Bring to front/back and rollover images on Question slides

Hi All-
My feedback captions show through revealing the content underneath. There is not an option to make them opaque. Also, Captivate allows me to insert a rollover caption on a Question Slide (as opposed to a button which it does not allow) but the rollover doesn't work. Suggestions? Please see me pdf attached.
Thank you!
Rita

All objects that are default to question slides (no separate timeline visible) are on top of the other objects. That has not changed.
I found some tweaking possibilities for shapes but that first rule is still valid: http://blog.lilybiri.com/want-a-button-on-question-slide-in-captivate

Question Slide without result slide

My client wants a quiz where each question MUST be answered correctly (unlimited trys) before moving on to the next. After all questions are answered correctly, there is no need for a results slide.. is this possible?

@Anjaneai Setting the Pass requirement to 100% will not force the user to answer a question correctl before moving on to the next. I don't know if changing Required to 'User must answer each question' could help, because I'm reluctant to use that option, it causes sometimes lot of problems.
@Krush if you have time, have a look at my blog posts about functionality of question slides:

Quiz slide not advance when using question pools and advance answer options?

Hi,
I am using CP 5.5. I created a small test where I have just 2 question in a question pool. The questions are using the advanced answer options to show some specific feedback. When I insert the questions in to the project using a random question slide, after the user answers where you should be able to press Y or click to move on, I click, but nothing happens. You can't get off the quiz slide. The quiz slides work fine when they are inserted in the project as reqular quiz slides, but not when they are being pulled from a question pool.
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!
Lori

I was having the same problem on the last Random Question slide (total 10 RQ slides), and was able to fix it by following the next steps:
Make sure Quiz: Pass or Fail actions are set to Continue for both Passing and Failing actions in the quiz preferences.
Delete the RQ slide not advancing, then duplicate one of the RQ slides working, and assign your question pool to the new slide if different from the original duplicate. This step will make sure you are using a good working RQ slide.
For some reason, my last RQ slide was corrupted and wasn't advancing to the Score slide at the end of the quiz.
I can finally finish this project.
Good luck.

I copied a slide from a self-paced presentation to add to a click-paced presentation but it keeps auto advancing. How do I get that to stop?

So, the title says it all, I think. In the Set-up tab, the "guilty" slides show the same global choice as the others for "Presentation Type" (Normal not Self-playing). I don't see anything to click for an individual slide to stopit from auto-advancing. What to do?

Gary Scotland -- Thanks for pointing to the Animate menu as relevant!! For me that had not meant transitions from one slide to the next. You kicked where I needed to be kicked. All now works as hoped for. And, I'm smarter. Thanks.

Lightroom 3.6 Slide Show auto-advance

I just got a new computer and use Lightroom 3.6. Now when I make a slide show and save it as a PDF it won't auto-advance to the next slide when running. When I review it in Lightroom it auto-advances fine but when I run the PDF file it sticks on the first slide and must be advanced manually. I believe I'm running the latest version of Adobe Reader as I just downloaded it last week when I got my new computer. Can someone explain how to get the auto-advance feature running like it did on my old computer? Thanks.

I don't use the slideshow module very often. But I just quickly created a small slideshow. In my little test the images did not auto-advance until I went into full-screen mode. Then it worked just fine. Also, make sure you haven't checked "Manual Slideshow" in your options.

Adobe Presenter 10 - Windows - Slides not auto advancing?

Hello,
I am having a lot of trouble getting my slides to auto advance. When I preview the presentation within PowerPoint (Adobe Presenter tab, Preview, Preview Presentation), everything looks fine, but when I publish and preview in the browser, the first slide auto plays, but then the following slides do not. I've tried changing just about every setting regarding slide behavior that I can think of and have included screenshots of the screens I've made changes with. I'd appreciate any and all suggestions!
Thank you!
-Monica
Slideshow - I've tried turning on and off "play narrations" and "use timings"
Adobe Presenter Settings: Default slide duration was 5 seconds - I've tried with that or 0.
Transitions - I've tried turning on and off "on mouse click"
Slide Manager Settings: I've checked to make sure Advance by User is 'No' and Lock Slide is 'No'.

Hi Monica,
Please package the presentation and mail me so that i can have a better look..

Using Advanced Feedback in a Question slide

Hello!
I am creating multiple choice questions using the question
slides in Captivate 3, and I want to provide feedback when the user
selects specific wrong answers. Like if they select answer A, it is
wrong, and I want to tell them why answer A specifically is wrong.
I am using the Advanced Answer Options in the Multiple Choice
Question editing dialog box, and I successfully created a feedback
box that pops up when they select answer A. However, after the
feedback box pops up, I want them to be able to guess again. The
action choices following the Advanced Answer Options allows me to
choose from continue to go to previous slide to jump to any
slide...but none of these allows the user to select another answer.
What I want to select is NO ACTION after the feedback text box pops
up, so that the user can select a new answer. But this isn't an
option. Am I missing something, or is there a workaround that will
let me let the user re-select an new answer?
Thanks!!!
Michaela

Thanks for the input friend,
I should have mentioned that in my application all
connections to Essbase use the same user name and
password so the filtering isn’t a concern. This is my
first Java application using Essbase has a data
source, I’m used to connecting to various SQL
databases and I always use a connection pool, how is
connection pooling handled in the Essbase java API?I'm not sure what happened to it since I never used it, but there used to be something called the High Availability Services or something that was essentially a connection pool for Essbase JAPI connections, but it required an extra license.
Since you don't care about identity (everyone has full access to everything), you can create your own connection pool, but you'll have to manage your multithreading yourself. Its been this way since the beginning. The C API isn't/wasn't thread-safe either (we tried).
