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.

I am using the quiz template.
I changed the text "Scene 1" to "Test."
I then added 3 more scenes. "Home" "Objectives", and
"Keywords." These last two scenes are only linked from the Home
screen. The home screen also has a "begin test" button that goes to
the "Test" scene to start the quiz.
When I get to the "Test" scene, and click the next button to
start the quiz it sends me to the "Objectives" scene (the second
scene in the list of scenes.)....it goes Home, Objectives,
Keywords, Test in order.
If i change the "Test" scene to the be second scene in the
list....so it goes Home, Test, Objectives, Keywords in order. When
i click the next button on the Test scene it does nothing. It shows
the number 2/10 and the button goes away.
How can i fix this. i am scratching my head trying to figure
this out and get my quiz to work for my company.
Thanks.Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Need more information about this issue :
1) Does it happen on a specific project or with a sample project as well (2 or 3 question slides) ?
2) Which iPAD are you using and what is the iOS version ?
Make sure you have CP 7.0.1 update installed (Launch CP7 -> Click on Help -> About Captivate)
Thanks,
Vikram

I just bought a black MacBook last week to replace my aging MBP, and it's been great so far for the most part. I've noticed one minor problem however, in that the button doesn't like being held down for some reason. It seems that from time to time when I'm dragging icons or trying to fine-tune window sizing the button just releases and clicks again, even though my thumb is remaining firmly on the center of the button.
The option key is acting the same way when I hold it down to close widgets on the dashboard; sometimes the close buttons simply appear, but much of the time they flicker, and clicking them just selects what's behind it or leaves the dashboard without closing the widget.
Are these things I can fix on my own, or should I see about taking it back in and having it looked at?As far as I know, you should take it back to the store.

Hold button not "holding" or "locking" my ipod
my 80gb ipod Video (nano??) wont go on "hold" i was messing with the screen lock and after that it wont go on "hold" or "lock" is there any way to make it lock again without resetting it? its very frustrating when i cant lock it:/
If none of the 5 R's are able to resolve the issue, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

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?

Create rrandom slides that are not quiz slides?
Hi,
None of the Quiz slide options provides the required quiz type I need, so I am going to create the whole course from scratch.
I want to be able to create several slides with questions just from text I put on a blank slide, that when the user clicks a button to go to the next slide they will go to a random slide from a defined group of slides.
Is this possible?
If I create a slide Group, would it be possible to go to a random slide of that Group?
I would also like to create a random starting slide so that a user does not get the same intro slide each time?
cheersHi there
Unless someone has some fancy script to randomize things I'm going to claim it's not possible to randomize regular slides. However, I've always thought it would be a neat feature to have. I think I've subitted a feature request to ask for it in a future version. If you also believe as I do (and it sounds like you do) I'm hopeful that you and any others that feel this way will take a moment and submit a Feature Request to ask for this ability. (Link to the Feature Request is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Can you make buttons appear "on success" on quiz slide?
I'm not an expert Captivate user and don't know Javascript, so please excuse my ignorance if this question seems strange.
I have a Captivate 6 project with several quiz slides peppered throughout the entire file. In other words, the quiz slides are not grouped together. Each slide, including the quiz slides, has a forward button and a back button.
I would like for users to move forward and backward through the presentation in a linear fashion as they like, and this is working well. However, it would be nice if users weren't able to skip answering the quiz questions. I would like the buttons to appear after the user has answered the quiz question correctly, and then I would like the buttons to stay on the slide thereafter.
Is this possible? Do you have a Javascript resource I could use for the "on success" action, or what other solutions do you recommend?
Thank you!Hello,
When you are talking about the default buttons Back and Next that you find on question slides, you don't have much control over them. As you probably did see they do not even appear as separate objects on the timeline. And I doubt that Javascript could realize what you want.
Try first to understand how the work flow of question slides is designed:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
You can drag the Next button under the Clear button (see blog post), normally Next during a Quiz is not needed, since the second step (Press Y or click on the slide) will move to the next slide.
However the Back button is a more tricky button if you really want to have it. Maybe, didn't check it out, try to hide the back button to the user (make it transparent without a stroke) and have an image appear on top of that button after the first step on the question slide. The invisible Back under the image will remain active, it even has absolute priority over other objects.

Added help button to quiz slide
I am trying to add a help button to a quiz slide. I would
like ti to pull up a slidelet or go to another slide with a image.
All my buttons and click boxes are disabled on question slides.
Any help would be appreciated.
-MarkHi Mark
I believe you could accomplish this as follows:
Create a blank Captivate project that is the same size as
your existing project. Create the slidelet as part of this project.
Define the rollover area and whatever else you need. Be sure to
pause the project so the slidelet will work without the playhead
just moving on.
Publish this as a .SWF. You may DE-Select the HTML check box
so all you end up with is the .SWF.
Open the project with the Question slide. Edit the Question
slide and click Insert > Animation. Browse to and select the
.SWF you just created. This should allow you to insert a Slidelet
on a Question slide.

Quiz slides not to be counted in quiz summary at end - Captivate 4
I have created a course which has quiz slides at the beginning of the cours which I have marked to not be graded. These slides are knowledge checks and should not be graded nor be counted. Then I have quiz slides at the end of the course that I do want to be graded. But I do not want the quiz slides at the beginning of the course "counted" in the summary quiz slide at the end of the course. I only want the quiz slides at the end counted.
How can I change the settings in the quiz slides to "not" be counted in the quiz summary page at the end of the course.
Thank you for your assistance.My best guess here as to the reason for your issue is that you've removed some of the essential objects from the Quiz Slides and that is fouling things up.
Quiz Slides MUST ALWAYS have the default Question Title and Question Text captions present. These are special caption objects that are ONLY found on quiz question slides. If you remove them or replace them with normal captions your quiz slides will malfunction inconsistently.
The other thing you may have done here by the sound of it is to set Submit All and then move the Submit All button off the slide into the scrap area. That's also likely to screw things up. If you do NOT want the user to see the Submit All button until the final quiz question slide then just change them to Transparent buttons and move them ALMOST off stage, but leave at least a few pixels of the button object still sitting over the top of the stage area. This will mean the user cannot see (and is very unlikely to click) the Submit All button except for the slide where you WANT them to see it. -
Conditional Branching with quiz slides not working
Attempting to use conditional branches with quiz slidescauses
the other quiz slides in my presentation to not work correctly. I
am attempting to create a 'test-out' pre-quiz for a segment of
slides in the presentation. I followed the instructions to add
conditional branching per page 46 of the Breeze Presenter User
Guide to obviously no avail. Is there a simple straightfoward
manner in which someone has successfully used conditional branches
with their quiz slides in their presentation?Hi,
I had the same issue.Apparently as of now PDF templates do not support conditional formatting for XML Publisher.
See Tim Dexter's response to my query at the bottom of this thread...
Re: Using the '%' operator in microsoft word template builder for XMLP
I could get some conditional formatting to work on the pdf template but only for the form field font,size and styles using Javascript, but I don't think there is a way to display values for the form field based on an if condition...

Why do quiz slides not work in LMS?
Using Captivate 7. Scorm 2004. I added three multiple choice quiz slides to the course, interspersed between content pages, to act as review questions. Each quiz slide has a Submit and a Clear button.
When I reloaded the updated course, now with the quiz slides, to the LMS (Cornerstone -stage environment), the options on the quiz slides are not clickable and the Submit and Clear buttons are missing.
My settings are:
Completion - based on slide views - 100%
Success - based on slide views - 100%
Quiz - "Optional - user can skip"
Pass/Fail - 0% required to pass
If Failing: Allow infinite attempts - checkbox (but I've also tried 1 attempt)
Thanks!Thanks, Lieve. Actually, I think the reason that the LMS did not correctly display the quiz slides is because it had already marked me as "complete" (I had taken the course multiple times previously.) Plus in all the various versions I re-loaded to our Stage environment, I kept changing quiz settings, etc., and I think the poor LMS was just so confused. So after I made a few more changes to the course (see below) and logged in as a different user, the course and quiz slides displayed correctly.
I made these changes to quiz settings in Captivate:
- I based completion on only "Slides viewed" -- not on "Quiz is passed"
- On the "Pass or Fail" settings, I changed "Go to next slide" to "Continue"
and under "If failing grade," I changed "1 attempt" to "infinite attempts."
I also removed the reportable click box from slide 1.
So I'm not sure which of these changes solved the problem, but the course is working correctly now, thankfully. -
Quiz Retake Button - Only Show Question Slides
I currently have courses with quiz question slides at different places throughout.
Example:
Slide 1
Slide 2
Quiz Question 1
Slide 4
Slide 5
Slide 6
Slide 7
Quiz Question 2
Slide 8
Slide 9
Quiz Question 3
etc...
I have the Retake Quiz button on the results slide if a user fails the quiz. Is there any way to have the Retake Quiz button show ONLY the Quiz Questions slides, not the content slides in between? Currently, when the user clicks the Retake Quiz button, it directs them to the first quiz slide (Quiz Question 1), but after answering, the course continues to the content slides (Slide 4, Slide 5, etc...) before it reaches the next quiz question. Since the quiz slides are not directly consecutive, can the Review Quiz button be programmed to only show quiz question slides?Hi there,
You can do this using advanced actions and user variables.
you can create your own variable and apply a default value of 0.
On exiting the normal slide assign that variable with the value of 1 or if you have a button on that slide then you can apply action on that button.
and on enter of the slide you can apply a conditional action.
to check the value of that variable if it is equal to 1 then go to next slide, else continue.

Captivate 5. Jump to slide button not working
I'm using Captivate 5.0.2.630 and I have issues with Jump To buttons as well. My layout is as follows:
Main Menu (with jump buttons to each section prior to the Quiz Question)
Section 1 - Demo slides
Section 1 - Simulation Slides
Section 2 - Demo Slides
Section 2 - Simulation Slides
Section 3 - Demo slides
Section 3 - Simulation Slides
Section 4 - Demo Slides
Section 4 - Simulation Slides
Quiz Slide
Quiz Slide

For whatever reason, the "Jump To" button set to jump to Section 4 from the Main Menu will not work. All it does it "Continue". And, please don't tell me I need to change the entire module's quiz settings to Optional. We want the actual Quiz Slides to be required. It's just the rest of the module that the user should be able to jump back and forth freely.Hi there and welcome to our community

The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad
Hi,
Has anyone run into this problem for Captivate 8? The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad. The Next button shows in IE/Flash mode.
Thanks in advance for providing your help!
Zhuoran.Thank you Rod.... I changed the option to "Required - User must take the quiz to continue." Now the next is working .
Thank you for pointing the right direction. But one quick question.. will the above setting affect my assessment? I have set the pass percentage to 100%...
My next question - I have a open course menu (TOC). If the learner clicks the Knowledge check page, the knowledge check page is visible, but if you click any other page from knowledge check, it is not going...... by default, it takes to the next page. From that page, you can click any other page... IS this also related to the above option .. pls let me know..
