Quiz allowing move to next slide without answer

I have a problem with the user being able to bypass the quiz without answering.
The global preferences are set to Required - the user must take the quiz to continue.
The quiz is set up so that pressing the submit button gives a custom correct/incomplete/failure feedback caption.
Actions are set to On Success and On Failure (with 1 attempt) to Go to the next slide.
There are also forward and back buttons.
If the user does not take the quiz but instead hits the forward button they can advance without answering the quiz. When we tried removing the forward button the user could still move forward by clicking on the screen twice.
If the user answers the quiz and hits submit they get the correct caption but the slide does not advance to the next slide on both success and failure conditions.
We've been beating on what should be a simple bug for a week now and failed to find a solutions so we could really use some expert insight.
I am running Captivate 8 on a Mac

I think you messed up the embedded features of the question slides. Have a look at:
Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
Personally I will never allow Backwards movement at all in a quiz. If you do that, you can drag the Next button under the Clear button. The Next button has a double functionality: during the Quiz it acts as a Skip button and that is what you do not want. During Review it acts as a Next button. If you do not use Review, you don't need the Next button. If you want Review, dragging the Next button under the Clear buttons solves the problem: during Review both Clear and Submit button will disappear and the Next button will be come available.
I cannot see directly what happened with the actions that are not executed, unless you have another shape button on the question slide that pauses after the pausing of the Submit button.
Your setting 'Required....' can cause problems as well, especially since you allow free navigation within the quiz (and outside) with the Back and Next navigation.
Please, try to read that blog post, and if you have more questions, will try to answer them.

Click box problem..loop to next slide without the command

Guys, I have a problem with my click boxes.
I'm using captivate 5.5.
details:
I have 4 click boxes
3 for hide and show objects
1 for go to next slide.
I have 2 slides only.
first slide has the changing view.
sample:
clickbox1 opens object 1 2 and 3 and triggers audio inside object 1 (working)
clickbox2 hides objects 1 2 and 3..shows 4 5 and 6 objects with audio also.
clickbox 3 goes the same process.
Problem: when I click clickbox2..it performs the action but maybe at around 1 second then proceed to the next slide. in which in the action, there was no command that say go to next slide or any.
the button for the next slide is on the 4 clickbox.
I'm using advance actions by the way.
I'm confused, this is my second time to do this..the first was working, what could be the problem?
Thanks

link sent thru PM.
I'm thinking if this is an inconsistency of CP.
action..for page2

Review quiz - move to next slide

I have a quiz which seems to work fine until it comes to reviewing it. When i click 'review' it takes me to the first question which shows whether it was answered correctly/incorrectly but there doesnt seem to be anyway to move onto the next question. No buttons appear at the bottom so you are just stuck on Q1.
Any ideas what's happened?
(captivate 6)

Hi Lilybiri,
I ran into the same navigation-during-Review problem, so I will try your solution.
I have 3 multiple choice questions.
I want to hide the Next button under the Clear button (although having a clear button is a little strange for multiple choice question because you can simply click on a different radio button, right?)
I added both buttons to all 3 multiple choice questions.
The first multiple choice question slide was easy - the Clear button slid right over the Next button.
However, on the 2nd and 3rd multiple choice slides, the Clear button slide under the Next button for some strange reason. As the buttons don't appear in the timeline, I cannot change their layer order. Right clicking doesn't help as there is no option to 'send backward.'
The Clear vs. Next stack positioning does not appear in your blog entry:
"All objects on the questions slides have top priority, and this is the sequence of the stack:
top most is Back button
Clear button just under the Back
Skip under Clear
Submit is the bottom object "
Any ideas how I can get the Clear button to appear over top of the Next button?
thanks!

Quiz - Show "Correct!" and move to next slide automatically.

I would like the "Correct" message to show on Submit, wait a second (so they can see it) and then move to the next question automatically. But I also would like it to work in the std method for incorrect answers. (show msg, require a click to acknowledge they got it wrong, then move on to the next question. Is this possible?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
You can skip one of the two steps, as I explained in this blog post, but only if you do it both for Correct/Incorrect answers. If you want a different behavior you'll need to create custom question slides. In Captivate 6 you can insert a shape button on a question slide, which could then simulate this behavior, but in CP5.5 no interactive objects can be added. You'll find a lot of use cases for custom question slides on my blog as well.

How can you put a setting that you can only move to a next slide by clicking on the forward button?

I am very sorry if there is somewhere already given an answer
to this but can somebody help me please?
When I use a space, enter or click in my quiz, they move on
to the next slide without answering the previous question
completely. How can I make sure that you can only move on to the
next slide with clicking on the forward button???

Power point project won't move to the next slide

I create a project with several power point slides and then some automation and then slides again. The automation created within captivate moves from slide to slide. But the power point slides don't move to the next slide automatiacally. I have to click on next to make them move. I looked in the manual and can't find a source to tell me what to do with the slides to make them move automatically (like a slide show would be). Any suggestions?

Hi there
When you import a PPT, you have two options. One option allows the PPT to just play through. The other option inserts a Click Box object on slides that prevents the slide from moving forward until clicked by the user. The choice is made in the dialog.
The default is On mouse click. After your slides arrive, the timeline looks like this:
To allow the slide to move forward, delete the Click Box.

Quiz Skip Button Jump to Another Slide that is not Next slide.

Is it possible to make the Quiz Skip button jump to another slide besides the next slide? I'm using Captivate 7.
Basically, I want the quiz slide to exit to another slide that is not the next slide.

Branch aware is a totally different thing: it makes the quizzing variables dynamically adapting to the questions that are taken by the trainee.
You are talking about the Skip button, which is puzzling because that button label was changed to Next since version 6. And Branch aware only appeared in 6. Which version are you using? You are talking about shapes so it must be 6 or later.
Another question: do you allow Review? Because in that case you'll need that Next (Skip) button. http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
You are talking about a 'custom Skip button'? Can you explain, and also what you mean by the rollover shape? If you have a custom button it should be visible on the timeline of the slide, contrary to the default objects on question slides that are embedded and have no separate timeline. Or was the question master slide edited to add a rollover shape to the default Next button?

Can't go to next slide after adding advanced action to answer and other

Hi,
I'm creating a quizz and there are some problems I can't
solve.
I have a flash project with login page, where user should
fill name, company and e-mail. To this e-mail I have to send the
results of the quizz. After you correctly fill the gaps and click
OK, my flash aplication starts within the Adobe Captive 4 project
(swf file). And now problems:
1. In my captivate project: I have a question, 3 answers, 3
possible attemps and one correct answer. If user answer wrong,
there is a grey hightlight box, which should apears over my chosen
wrong answer and stay there to mark already chosen answer and there
is also a text animation "Sorry, your answer is not correct." under
the quizz (on the same slide), which appears instead of error
message. No problem, it works, I made a script for it, which is
joined to every wrong answer (in Edit Question > (Answers)
Advanced > Execute Advanced Action). But the problem is with
correct answer (it shows text animation "Congratulations!" and
green hightlight box). If I specify the event on correct answer and
then submit the right answer, it shows the hightlight box, the text
animation, but it doesn't continue to next slide! It stucks despite
of the
settings Edit Question > Options > (If correct answer)
Action: Go to next slide). If I add new statement to my
script, which is "Go to next slide" and then click on the right
answer, it immediately jump to next page and doesn't show the
hightlight box and the text animation. How can I wait until the
duration of the animation ends and after that go to next slide?
Script for the advanced action on my correct answer is:
-> show rightHighlightBox
-> show congratulationsText
2. I need another pass fail option, for example - I have 30
questions - 3 answers, one correct, 3 attemps. User submits wrong
answer, but then he choose the right one, but he choose the wrong
one at first ---> 0 points. It's e-learning and I need to allow
users to correct them.
3. How can I export the value of correctAnswers to my flash?
Is it possible?
Thank you very much for reply!

Hi,
You need to add a "Continue" statement at the end of your
script otherwise you will have to click on Skip to go to next
slide.
And all the Quzzing information can be accessed from Flash
using the Quizn variables.
thanks

Why doesn't Firefox run an adobe flash player slide show (no arrows to move to next/previous slide), but internet explore does?

When I try to run a slide show in Firefox, the first slide displays but the arrows to move to next/previous slide do not appear. When I try in Internet Explorer, the arrows appear. Flash Player is enabled in Firefox. There must be another setting I need to adjust. I am running Windows 7. I don't see how to access Tools menu item in Firefox. I don't see where I can check my Firefox version. It is the current version as is Flash Player.

How do I get the student's answers to show on the next slide for drag and drop interaction?

I'm working with Captivate 7 on a computer running Windows 8.
I created a simple, one-to-one drag and drop activity using the Drag and Drop Wizard.
I want the student's answers to show on the next slide. Specifically, I want the drop source to show with the drag target that the student connected to the drag source. This way the student can review his/her answers while the program discusses the correct answers.
Is there anyway to do this?

* You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
* If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

Text Entry with Tab Key not advancing to next slide

I am using Captivate 1 to create a screen that has a text
entry requiring the user to press the Tab key as the Shortcut Key.
The users are having to press the Tab key multiple times to get the
course to advance to the next slide. There does not seem to be a
rhyme or reason to which text entries this occurs in, nor does
there seem to be a pattern to the number of times or forcefulness
in which the Tab key must be pressed, though more aggressive key
presses have yielded better results. Sadly, requesting the users
bang the Tab key with as much force as they can muster is not a
viable option.
Here are things I have tried:
Decrease length of slide
Increasing active time of the text entry
Adding/removing playback control
Deleting and recreating text entries
If anyone has any idea what can be done to correct this
problem, it would be much appreciated.

Hi berrylicious877
The following has worked for me in Cap1, so try it and see:
Add the text entry box and include the submit button.
Make the submit button transparent and edit text to a full
stop at the smallest available font size (Captivate won't accept a
submit button without something typed in and a full stop is the
smallest thing available display wise)
On the submit button, set the shortcut key to "Tab".
My reasoning was that the shortcut key on the text entry box
"activates" the box, thus allowing input and the shortcut key on
the "submit" button "deactivates" the box so that the slide can
move on as required.
Please let us know if this helps.

Move forward even on incorrect answer with infinite attempts?

Hello,
I want to use captivate for a summative assessment where students can have inifinite attempts at each question and are able to move backwards and forwards through the quiz. From what I can see at the moment when I set the question level attempts to infinite the slide never progresses until they get the answer correct. I want them to be able to change their answer but move forward on submit even if their answer is incorrect? At the moment I can't seem to see a way of doing this? Is my only option to use custom slides?
Thanks.

You are correct that if you set infinite attempts on a question then Captivate will assume you wanted the student to remain on that question until they got it correct.
Developers often find it difficult to understand how Captivate's quiz questions work. There are many ways you can configure the question options. In fact there are good reasons for seemingly bizarre behaviours, but those reasons are often masked by the way your settings are configured.
As a sample: Once the participant submits an answer for a quiz slide (correct or incorrect) and then progresses to another slide, their answer for that slide is locked in. If you have multiple attempts on that question allowed, AND you have backward movement allowed, THEN your participant can move back to the previous question and reattempt it, but if you don't have the Retry caption or Failure levels turned on, Captivate will then only appear to allow them to submit a correct answer.
If you want the user to be able to move forward even if their answer is incorrect, just enable the SKIP button on the question slide. The user can then opt to click this button to move to the next question.

On nView titlebar, clicking "Move to next display", The resizes bigger, but not smaller.

Hello and TIA for your help.
Environment:
Lenovo T61 laptop (model 6457-Z4U) set to 1680x1050
Internal video controller: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M
External monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 940BF set to 1280x1024
Win XP SP2
Problem: I am using the nView Desktop Manager and nView Control Panel. On the nView titlebar on the laptop, when I click the "Move to next display" button, then the window does move to the external monitor, and sizes the window to 1280x1024 to fill the screen. Good.
But, when I do the same on the external monitor (click the "Move to next display" button), then the window keeps the same size, and does not resize to the larger laptop window size (1680x1050).
In other words, the windows resize to the smaller display, but not the bigger display. What setting should I change?

Moving on to next slide right after completion of TEB (text entry box).

Hello all--
I'm using Captivate 4.
I have a system training course where we require learners to enter the appropriate date into an TEB. After the date is entered, I want Captivate to move on to the next slide. For example, on screen 1, the learner enters '060510', then Captivate should move on to the next slide.
I can make Captivate work great with text menus: for example, if the learner enters the correct menu item 'A', then I can set the shortcut key to A which causes Captivate to move to the next slide right away and very nicely. But I can't figure out how to make this work with dates. Any suggestions???

Hi there
What you need is a shortcut key to trigger the action. Captivate makes it super easy to assign shortcuts, but they aren't without issues.
For example, some shortcut keys are always interpreted by the browser and therefore cannot be used reliably. In your case a likely shortcut would be to assign 0 as the shortcut. But this has issues because the first character typed is a 0. So the first time 0 were pressed an error would likely be issued because the field isn't complete yet and doesn't match the expected date.
I've seen this asked about before. What is really needed here is for Captivate to allow configuring a Text Entry Box object so it is constantly on the hunt for a specific string the author configures. Once the criteria has been satisfied, the assigned action occurs. You (and anyone else that wants to see this emerge as a feature) should ask Adobe via the Wish Form (link is in my sig).
Cheers... Rick

Is there a way that I can see more than just the next slide in Presentation mode (as an old version of PowerPoint used to do)?

Is there a way that I can see more than just the next slide in Presentation mode (as an old version of PowerPoint used to do)?

Sorry - should have been more specific. As far as I can see, Keynote will only allow me to see the current slide and the next slide on my laptop when I am presenting a slideshow through a projector. But an old version of PowerPoint allowed me to show the current slide....and (adjustable) many more slides ahead (say 10)....so I could simply jump ahead to a 'future' slide and skip several slides in between. Net result being that I was able to matcgh my slides to group discussions rather than stick to a fixed, predetermined slide show.
As much as it pains me, without this facility - PowerPoint (old verson, not current one) is more useful for me! :-((
