Quiz Buttons Not Differentiating

I had a file with perfectly useful quiz buttons that said and did everything they were supposed to. I made a change and regenerated a flash to upload and now all the quiz buttons have turned into transparent text buttons. No matter what I try to do in the object style manager I can only get ALL the quiz buttons to be the exact same thing, so if I choose an image for skip, all the buttons turn into skip buttons. I cannot fix this.

Did you change your windows theme ? Try changing the theme to classic.

  • Retake Quiz button not resetting questions

    Hi all
    I have a quiz with 7 questions, all single-answer questions.
    When the quiz results are displayed, the Retake Quiz button is displayed if they have failed the quiz.
    Upon clicking Retake Quiz, it takes me back to the start of the quiz, however, the previous answers given have not been reset and the question is greyed out.
    I've been reading various posts on here, indicating that similar things are happening, however I couldn't find the reason with the quiz settings that I have:
    Quiz is set to Answer All.
    Quiz is set to Allow Backward Movement.
    Quiz is set to allow 100 attempts on the quiz.
    Quiz is set to display Retake Button.
    Each quiz question is set to allow 1 attempt.
    I thought that by increasing the number of attempts allowed on each question that this would solve it, but this just allows me to keep trying on each question until I hit the right answer, and does not seem to solve the problem.
    I'm really not sure as to why, when using the Retake Quiz button, it is not resetting the quiz.
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    regards
    Loraine

    Hi again
    I have now changed the settings in the quiz as per Lilybiri's suggestion. I now have the following quiz settings in place:
    Quiz is set to Required - the user must take the quiz to continue.
    Quiz is set to Allow Backward Movement.
    Quiz is set to allow 100 attempts on the quiz.
    Quiz is set to display Retake Button.
    Each quiz question is set to allow 1 attempt.
    Captivate 4  - AS 2.
    After answering all the quiz questions, and failing, and clicking Retake Quiz button, some of the answers remain greyed out. It will not let you click Reset and will then automatically move on to the next question slide.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it... sometimes the correct answer remains greyed out, and sometimes an incorrect answer remains greyed out. Sometimes when I click Retake Quiz none of the answers are greyed out, but then if i keep failing the quiz, the answers begin to appear greyed out. I have double-checked that i've set the number of attempts on the quiz to 100.
    I have also tried using the Back navigation button within a quiz, to go back and change my answer, but the answers remain greyed out, and pressing Reset makes no difference.
    It seems the only way I've managed to get a 'clean' retake at the quiz, is to exit from the e-learning, then go back in to it. But this is not going to be an acceptable method, when my company want to give learners the option to retake the quiz only if they fail, and not redo the whole package to get to the quiz at the end.

  • Captivate 3 - Continue and Review Quiz Button Not Working

    I have just published a SCORM course in Captivate. It works perfectly fine once I've uploaded it into the LMS except one small part. I've set up the quiz so each learner is required to pass the quiz in order to complete the module. At the end of the quiz, the results page appears with two buttons (Continue and Review Quiz). Those buttons don't work.
    I set up the quiz so that learners have 2 attempts to successfully complete it. If they're unsuccesful, the continue button should direct them to the beginning of the quiz so they could retake it. If they have successfully complete, the continue button should take them to the next slide. That's not working. For some reason, the continue button only works if the learner has failed the quiz. The Review Quiz button also doesn't work. I did select the option allowing them to do so. Can someone please help?

    Hi there
    Please send me a private E-Mail message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and advise of the exact file name of the file you are linking to.
    I'll send you back a file that you can use to test and see if the link works.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Quiz Slide Buttons - not holding size in live slide

    I apologize if this has been asked many time. I searched the discussions and found nothing.
    My quiz slide buttons, CLEAR, BACK, NEXT, SUBMIT are for some reason now smaller in dimension than they were in my project. Now ALL quiz slides render them very small as a default. Whenever I adjust them, both in the Master slide design and in the filmstrip breakpoint slides they do not hold their shape or dimension sizes I adjust them to. The view and size in the Master slide looks right but when  I go to FilmStrip they are small. They also are left justified instead of center.
    I went into the Themes/Object Style Manager and tried to make adjustment there. It will not give me an option to center the text or adjust the size of the buttons. I am using the "Default Quiz Button Style". The way it was originally provided in Captivate settings.
    I also even tried to override this by creating my own image buttons which were of the same dimenstion that the default settings Captivate has for the Default Quiz Button Style which were 170x43px. Even those are shrinking very small.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    I have only the font size available to adjust. I do not see any alignment choices. Please see screen shot.

  • Review Quiz button does not navigate to the first quiz question..

    Hi,
    so I have created an interactive software simulation guide for users of my organisation. At the end of this guide there is a quiz (multiple choice, true or false questions) with 15 slides. At the end of the quiz the results screen is displayed with the "Review Quiz" button. Clicking this navigates the user to slide 72/245 rather than the beginning of the quiz, the first question.
    How can this be fixed?!
    Many thanks,
    Achello

    You have an interactive object somewhere on that slide that is scored to be added to the quiz.
    Open the Advanced Interaction dialog (F9) and look for the object there.  Remove the score.

  • 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:

  • How can we make the Retake Quiz button only appear when user reenters the course?

    In a Captivate 8 Quiz, we need to force the user to close the course (so attempts are captured by the LMS) from the Quiz Results page. The Retake Quiz button cannot show at this time. However, when the learner reenters the course from the LMS, the bookmarking brings the user to the Results page again. We need a Retake Quiz button to only show when the user reenters the course, not on Quiz completion. Disabling the bookmarking disables the reporting of attempts. Does anyone know a way to make that happen or a workaround?

  • After updating CP8 to 8.0.1.242 Quiz buttons dissapear

    I installed the latest patch yesterday. Before the patch I published my quiz and everything worked fine except the final slide audio would start after the first correct answer (no clue why). After the patch all my quiz buttons disappear. They are custom image buttons that replace the original CP buttons. Has anyone had a similar problem?

    Hey Rod
    Ok i followed the instructions at:
    Adobe Captivate Help | Adobe Captivate 8 patch
    Note:
    After the upgrade, before launching Adobe Captivate 8.0.1, ensure that you take a backup of preferences, layouts and sample projects folder and delete them.
    Layouts folders are present at:

  • Inconsistent Continue button function when Retake Quiz button is present

    Hi, I am using Captivate 4 on a Win7 computer.  My problem is this.  I have setup a 10 question quiz at the end of my module.  On the results page (slide 37), I have a Review Quiz button, a Retake Quiz button, and a Continue button.  The user can retake the quiz if she/he likes, but, regardless of whether the user passes or fails the quiz, they are to hit the "Continue" button which should jump to one of two slides (slide 38 for "Congratulations" or slide 39 for "Sorry, you did not pass") and then it is to automatically continue to the next slide that says "Thank you" (slide 40) and then the Captivate module is to close automatically.  That's what is supposed to happen, and some of it does.  However, here's what does happen.  If the user passes the quiz and clicks the "Continue" button, everything works perfectly.  But, if the user fails the quiz and clicks the "Continue" button - nothing happens. The "Continue" button fails to work.  You click on "Continue" and nothing happens.  It just stays on the results page.  The slider does not advance either.  However, if I delete the "Retake Quiz" button, then the "Continue" button works perfectly whether the user passes or fails.  What is the fix here?  I'm guessing you might need more information.  I'l supply what I think might be relevant, below.
    The progression:
    Slides 27 - 36 : 10 slides of quiz question (one question per slide)
    Slide 37 :  Results page
    Slide 38 :  "Congratulations" slide for passing
    Slide 39 :  "Sorry, you did not complete this course..." slide for failing
    Slide 40 :  "Thank you."
    Preferences/Quiz/Pass or Fail :
    If passing grade: Action: Jump to slide 38
    If failing grade: Allow user: 2 attempts
    Show Retake Button is checked
    Action: Jump to slide 39
    Preferences/Quiz/Settings :
    Pass Required - the user maust pass this quiz to continue
    Thank you.  Please let me know if you need any more information.
    Jorge Gonzalez

    D. Sharma,
    Hi, sorry, all this time when you were saying "it" I thought you were referring to the Captivate module that includes the quiz.  I didn't realize you were referring to the quiz alone.
    Here's what I have: the module contains the quiz in it.  In other words, the quiz was created in Captivate and is part of the module.  The problem I described happens whether the module (with the quiz in it) is published locally or on the LMS.  It makes no difference.  The problem persists.
    Sorry for the misunderstanding,
    Jorge G.

  • Button not Reporting Score

    Hi, I have an acknowledgement button in my Captivate file that is supposed to report 100 points and a passing score to the LMS, but it is not doing so.   I have checked Advanced Properties under the Project tab, and this button is the only thing that is set up for reporting.   My publishing settings call for data to be reported at the end of the course and points required to pass are 100 (the value of the button).   Can someone take a look at the button properties and tell me if I'm missing something?  Thanks for your help!

    Try setting the Quiz Score to Percentage instead of Score, and set your Pass/Fail option to Percentage as well.
    Then set the value of your scored button to 10 points instead of 100.
    Republish to the LMS and test.
    Some LMSs are a bit picky and I find Percentage is safer than trying to use Score.  If your button IS the only scored object, the actual number of points doesn't have to be high.
    If this still does not work, the only other thing I can think of to try is just include one quiz question (e.g. True False) and test whether your LMS requires that you must have one quiz question, not just a scored button.

  • Remediation - 'Return to Quiz' button?

    Hi folks,
    I've just watched an excellent Lynda.com course on Captivate 8 (Essential Training). However, one issue has confused me and this is on remediation.  I've used remediation in the past, and sometimes the slide movement become a bit 'sticky' and I don't really like to use the 'Next' navigation button for the 'Return to Quiz' action.
    The course says that if you have a quiz question that returns to an earlier slide (i.e. via remediation) you can create a new button that states 'Return to Quiz' (i.e. in addition to any existing navigation buttons), make the action for this new button 'Return to Quiz' and this button will not appear in the normal flow of the course, but will appear if the slide is visited via the remediation route in the end quiz.
    To quote Lynda.com 'This is a special action that's going to keep the button hidden unless they navigate to the slide straight from the quiz'.  However, when I have tried this, the new button appears in the normal flow of viewing the course?
    I have watched this part of the course a number of times and it appears they are definitely saying that the new 'Return to Quiz' button should only appear when visited via the quiz. 
    Are they wrong?  Captivate 8 bug?
    Cheers,
    John

    I didn't watch the CP8 course on Lynda, but I found the previous course of very low quality, totally different from what they normally offer for the 'big' Adobe applications. Just FYI I'm an almost daily user of Lynda. Again you prove here that there are quite a lot of 'bugs' in that course, half-explained or even wrongly explained work flows and bad practice tell me that the creator is certainly not an expert Captivate user. Sorry for that ranting but I have spent so many hours in trying to clarify work flows to Captivate users that took that course and got stuck very quickly when they tried to use the acquired knowledge.
    Remediation is not hiding the button. You need a Next button and have to trigger the action 'Return to Quiz' with that button. When the content slide is visited from another content slide, the Next button will automatically execute the action 'Go to Next Slide', but when the slide is visited from a Question slide, the Next button will get the user back to the Question slide. Only when the question will be answered correctly, will he be able to continue with the Quiz.
    Again, this is NOT a Captivate bug, this is a bug in your 'excellent' course.

  • I deleted my review quiz button!

    I deleted my review quiz button on accident...and now i can't get it back.  It is not giving me an option to undue.  I want the learners to be able to review their incorrect answers after taking the quiz.  How can I get it back?  Can i add my own?

    Check Quiz Preferences, Settings, and check 'Allow users to Review Quiz'. It is an embedded object with a very specific functionality, you will never be able to add a custom button that does the same.

  • Captivate 8 Retake Quiz button - back to the wrong question slide

    Hi
    I still haven't fixed my retake quiz button problem. I have a project with several non-graded practice questions (hot spot, drag n drop, 2 multiple choice/multiple answer) followed by 9 "real" test questions. I want the students to go back to the "real" test questions when they click the retake quiz button. Now, the retake quiz button takes me back to the first multiple choice question in the practice section - not the first "real" test question.
    In Advanced Interactions for the first multiple choice question (and the 2nd as well), I see that nothing is listed in Include in Quiz col and Report Answers = NO. But an entry appears in Objective ID and Interaction ID. I can't see this ID information anywhere in the QUIZ tab - I'm wondering if this is what's driving the retake quiz button to this slide.
    Attempted Fix:
    I saw Lilybiri's answer to "Captivate 8 Retake Quiz" entry. This sounded like the perfect solution to my problem. So I created a conditional Advanced Action:
                     If cpQuizInfoAttempts is greater than 1    Jump to (1st "real" test slide #)    Else Continue
    On the 1st "real" test slide I put this conditional action On Enter.
    It didn't work. Please help me determine what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this retake quiz problem. MANY MANY THANKS!!! I'm getting desperate!
    Smiles
    Susann

    You must have read my answer wrongly. Condition is OK, but you have to trigger it On Enter for the first practice question, not on the first real question slide. Since the Retake button will take the user to that first practice question slide, that action will be evaluated and the jump to the first real question slide will occur. Supposed is here that all practice slides are before all question slides.

  • Continue / Retake Quiz buttons act differently when Publishing in SWF vs SWF/HTML5

    Hi, I use Captivate 7 and when I compare what I publish as SWF/HTML5 with SWF only it seems that there are 2 issues with the SWF/HTML5  site on Chrome (also on Safari)
    Issue 1
    I have 1 quiz on a course and I have set the Quiz setting to require a Pass to continue. I put the "Retake" Quiz button over the "Continue" button so it covers the continue if the person fails and will show the continue button only if the person passes. (I had also changed the Caption on the Continue button to say Print Certificate)
    This works when I publish the course as SWF only. When I publish as SWF/HTML5 and view on Chrome/Safari then when the person fail it seems that the "continue" button still shows and makes the "retake quiz button" transparent or behind the continue button. If the person passes then it works fine.
    Issue 2
    In the same example if click the "continue" button several time it the website continues even though the person had failed
    Not sure if anyone has found this an issue or has a better way for not making the Continue button to appear if the person has failed.
    My objective was that there was a Certificate document after the quiz and if the person passes then they can go get the Certificate. If they fail then they cannot go tto the next slide to get the certificate. Maybe there is a better way to do this ?
    thanks
    Hatim

    OMG, just checked it out and you are right: the Review button appears always on top of the Retake button. Please, log a bug report, will do as well. This is really very annoying because the terminology can be confusing,
    For SWF I found a workaround: change the stacking order in the Results Master slide, send the Review button Back. That seems to work. But for HTML5-output, no way... Review is always on top of Retake. I also played with unchecking, and rechecking but cannot find a solution.

  • The quiz is not correctly calculating the number of quiz items in the published version

    The quiz is not correctly calculating the number of quiz items in the published version
    I created 20 quiz questions, but the output say there are 255.  The slides between do not have quizzing enabled.

    I have a similiar problem. However, I am tracking user activity through tracking "next" buttons. Each button (and other interactions) has a objective ID and interaction id. The objective id is the same throughout the course; however each interaction and quiz item have different interaction ids. The total quiz items is shown as 54 and the first question is shown as question 50 or 54.
    The course will be published to Blackboard as the LMS; I am using SCORM 1.2
    The following settings are needed to track the user activity throughout the course, specifically the "next" buttons:
    1. include in quiz
    2. report answers
    The  answers to the problem of total quiz items not matching the actual number of questions has you turn off the include in quiz for interactions. How is this problem resolved when you want these interactions included with the information passed through SCORM to the LMS?
