Quiz Template - Component Inspector

The current quiz template on the drag and drop section on the
component inspector has 8 instances. How can I change that to add
more, like 16 or 30? I don't see any way to edit it.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks

It gives you a wider variety of parameters than you would see
in the properties pane; and sometimes there are wizards for the
particular component, available when you click the button with the
wand/star on it.
That's enough for me to use it!

Quiz Template Guru Needed: 1) Target Symbols from Drag&Drop questions persist on subsequent questions!??

I've been finding some anomalies when testing the movie, for
instance the question regarding the BA degree keeps telling me the
answer marked correct in the Component Inspector (# 6 American
Urban) is incorrect; other times it seems one question contains
part of another question's graphics, though I have scrupulously
made sure there is no overlap frame by frame.
I need someone with experience in quiz templates to go
through this until you find anomalies like those mentioned above,
and let me know if you have any idea what's causing them.
You can download the .fla at
http://mywebniche.com/test/FrontDeskTest.zip
The test can be seen at
http://mywebniche.com/test/FrontDeskTest1.html
[Note: The Name Field's actionscript is also not working.
When you enter your name on the first frame, it should appear on
the results page -- doesn't. Any idea what's wrong there?]
This is a real project and I really need help getting it bug
free.
Thanks.

I have the solution. It is a bug in Flash for which I got
them to find a workaround.
If you ask me they don't spend nearly enought time/energy on
Flash in education, particularly the quizzes, which have so many
limitations and are lacking so many obviously needed features.
I'll post their workaround below, but I want you, and all who
read it to contact their feedback/wishlist for Flash and complain
about their Quizzes getting short shrift. Features badly needed
are:
- Ability to randomize AND require certain questions to
always appear.
- options to enter name and have it appear on Results Page
along with date and number of times the quiz has been re-taken.
- the ability to have multiple true/false questions
- better documentation on how to customize the template
graphics and how to use original graphics
- fix the drag & drop component permanently -- this is
arguably the most useful question format of them all !
- ability to save customized components -- as component
templates
- anything else you can think of that I haven't included here
Here's the fix:
1) in your movie, locate an instance of the Drag and Drop
Interaction component and select it.
2) Select Edit Symbols from the file menu (Edit > Edit
Symbols) to edit the symbol
3) The middle layer should be the Actions Layer. Select
frame 1 in that Actions layer and open the Actions panel
4) Scroll to the bottom of the script and find the
this.onUnload function located there.
5) Use your mouse and highlight the contents of that
function, not including the function name, and copy it. You
should have copied the following script:
var clearLast =
_parent.SessionArray[_parent.session].drag_objects;
var len = clearLast.length;
for(var i=0; i<len; i++){
_parent[clearLast
].removeMovieClip();
6) Return to the very top of the script and paste a copy of
this script there prior to the comment stating:
/*--------------VERSION CONTROL
INFORMATION----------------------
Note: You may need to make some room for the new script.
What this should do is ensure that the unload script is
called immediately upon the loading of a new drag and drop
interaction component clearing any prior objects used in the one
before it.Â This was not happening appropriately before
which is what was causing those dragged objects to remain on the
screen.

Does anyone know where I can download the Quiz Templates?

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Flash CS4 & I can no longer find the quiz templates in the component library. Is there somewhere I can download them from now?

Aside from the ones provided in email marketing setup process, a simple search search online should give you many more- including responsive ones.
Here's one of my favorite sources: https://github.com/mailchimp/Email-Blueprints

Quiz template

I have a trial version of Flash CS4. It will expire in about
4 days, but I am not able to find quiz template. Does anyone know
where it is??

You should try creating two separate lists. Call one Questions and another Answers.
For Questions, in the Text Inspector under the List tab select continues from previous
For Answers, in the Text Inspector under the LIst Headding select starts with (insert 'a')
You can then set all your questoins and insert your answers. If you are smart yu may want to use the 'placeholder text' for a complete set of questions and answers.
In the case of "1. your questions" and "a. your first answer... b. Your second answer" you can select the entire line as it has been set up for the list, and then press control-option-command (apple thingie)-t This will make it into a placeholder text. Do the same for the numbered question.
Once you have a complete set of question and answers you can then copy and paste it as many times as you want. Even create a template page with all of it upon it so you can just insert the pages as needed.
Doing it this way means that you can just press click on the 'your question', start typing and press the right-arrow key twice to go to each answer without having to go back and forth selecting the lists in the Styles Drawer. It's all done for you, prepared by you.
Good luck. Let us know if you pass the test (nyuck nyuck nyck)

Problem with enter key in the quiz templates

hi,
I need some i am using quiz templates and my problem is when
i make the swf file and test the quiz it works good , but when i
press the enter key , the quiz doesn't work and repeat and go to
the first screen , i don't know if i have to block the enter key or
how i can resolve this ?
Thanks a lot

I know that focus management has changed alot.
Based on my experimentation a while back, in 1.4 it still believes that the JFrame is the window in focus, even though a JOptionPane is currently in front of it (unless I misinterpreted what was going on). Thus, the frame seems to get the keyboard event and re-invoke the action.

Flash Quiz Template HELP Please!

I created a quiz using the Flash Quiz Template and everything
works fine. What I'm wondering is how do I make it so that it gives
a different frame when the user fails and when the user passes.
Please help. I am desperate here.
Thank you very very much.

Changing the colors of a Captivate 5.5 Quiz Template

I like a few of the Cp5.5 quiz templates but I'd like to adjust the colors of the slides to match the theme I am working with. Is there any way to do this? For example, the Clean_Blue theme has a kind of teal colored box at the top of the slide. Is there anyway to change the color of this box?
It looks like if you open them up in Photoshop or Fireworks they are all the same image/layer.
Thanks.

Hi Lilybiri
I have been doing just that but I noticed something really strange. If I change the colour of the main top header then it moves off to the left. Therefore it is no longer centre on the screen.
Any ideas? I'm attaching screenshots for you.
cheers

Drag and Drop Interaction in Quiz Template

I'm new to developing in flash, and I'm just teaching myself.
I've been a software developer for 15 years. I'm trying to use the
quiz template in flash and having trouble with the drag & drop
interaction. It seems to work fine when not randomized, but ever
since I selected randomize, when one of the drag/drop interactions
come up, the screen does not reset for the next question. The
controls of the drag/drop frame are overlay the next frame. Is
there a way to fix this? I was searching through the posts prior to
posting this message, and I found a similar problem posted, but it
is a year old and there were no helpful responses. Can someone
help?

I haven't done Drag and Drop before, but make sure you have the action on the submit button and not on the slide itself. I think if you play with the button properties vs. the slide properties a little, you can get what you want.

Runtime Sharing & Component Inspector Bug

I'm not sure if this is a bug with Flash or me doing something wrong. Here are the steps to reproduce:
1) Create "Source.fla"
draw a box on the stage and convert it to a movie clip. Call it "Component"
export Component for actionscript. Give make the class name "Component"
also, check "Export for runtime sharing" and put "Source.swf" in the URL. Click OK.
Next, right click the Component in the library and select "Component Definition..."
click the "+" button to add a parameter, give it the name "label" with type "String". Click OK
Save and test the movie so "Source.swf" is compiled out.
2) Create "Destination.fla" in the same directory
close Source.fla
go to File > Import > Open External Library...
select Source.fla. Click OK
you should see another Library panel show up with the Component symbol in it.
drag the Component symbol from that library onto the stage
save and run it. Everything should be fine: you should see your Component symbol from Source.fla should up on Destination.fla's stage.
3) The Bug!
now, click the imported Component symbol on Destination.fla's stage. And go to the component inspector.
you should see the "label" property we created earlier in step 1
change the value to something other than the default
save and run it.
you should see this compile time error: "Scene 1 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Component."
What's up with that eh? Seems like a Flash bug to me. Unless I'm missing something.
FYI: I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 (11.0.2.489)
Message was edited by: RovertNnud

Yep, the problem definitely still exists in CS6 12.0.2.529. I have hundreds of source files for lessons being used by students from PA to TX, and this BUG is making it impossible to work with the files.
First of all, if a library object is imported for runtime sharing, then it shoudl be loaded from that external source when the file is opened, and flash should keep a file system watcher on the source RSL file so that when it changes, it automatically updates the library definition.
Furthermore, the "Authortime Sharing" seems to handle these updates automatically, but it requires a source FLA file, and once you set one, there's no way to unlink from it. If you decide you don't want to use Authortime Sharing, and just use the "import for runtime sharing" option instead, you're screwed. There is no way to unassociate a file from a source FLA once you choose one. This needs to be fixed immediatly, or RSL and Authortime sharing are useless in Flash CS6.
Did you guys somehow patch CS5.5, without carrying the fixes forward to CS6? lol. This is confusing.

Component Inspector Parameters Missing

When I launch the Component Inspector for a Multiple Choice
Interaction, there are no parameters listed under the Parameter
tab. I am used to MX2004, where there was a table and I could fill
in all my values for questions, answers, etc. But now I'm in Flash
8 and that grid isn't there. When I click on the Parameter tab for
a Component Inspector it is a blank slate. Can anyone help? I'm
guessing there is some trick for me to see the fields that I could
so easily fill in with MX2004?
Thanks,
Lauren

Thanks. I expected such answer. But didn't expect Adobe made it silent. I hoped they at least explained something. And what component inspector panel does now? Nothing? Why then Adobe left it... I remember good times with Macromedia...

Color Picker in Component Inspector

I want to add a parameter to a custom component which uses
the Color Picker in the Component Inspector. I would prefer to be
able to define the component parameters with the class(rather than
manually adding/subtracting the parameters).
However, there seems to be a conflict between the parameter
type 'Color' and the Color class.
To replicate this problem:
1. Define a symbol's class with the attached 'test' class.
2. Define the component parameters in the 'Component
Definition' for the class with the same 'test' class.
3. Drag the symbol to the stage.
4. Click on the symbol, and adjust the color parameter in the
Component Inspector(important step, otherwise it doesn't try and
set the color)
5. Run - receive "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type
int to an unrelated type fl.motion:Color." error.
The only way I can see of resolving this seems more like a
hack - to remove the "test" class from the Component definition,
but leave the color parameter there. Now, to adjust the color
variable in the 'test' class to expect an int, rather than Color.
However, I would much prefer to keep the test class in the
Component definition, rather than manually changing the parameters.
Feels like this area of component parameters is on the
fringes of documentation, and even maintaining (this apparent
conflict between Color class and Color parameter type a case in
point).
Anyone any ideas/comments?

i would hope that defining a parameter as an int wouldn't
default to a color picker!
You're seeing a color picker because you initially defined
the parameter as Color. If you go back into Component definition
and hit OK, the parameter input type will update. (so long as you
have 'test' set up as the Definition class)
Alternatively, if you were to go through the 'replicate this
problem' steps above, but with your class, you won't see the Color
Picker.
As i said earlier, I'm aware that if i was to remove test as
Definition class, and either set up an alternative class as
definition class, or manage the parameter definitions manually, i
could fudge a solution to this problem.
I would like to know - is this hack necessary, or is there a
more conventional solution? I think it would make the most sense if
my component parameters could be defined by my class.
And I'm curious to know - what are we seeing here? Am I right
in thinking that there appears to be a conflict between the
parameter definition type 'Color' and the fl.motion.Color
class?

Location of Component Inspector tool in EP7

Hello,
I would like to know where the <b>component Inspector tool</b> is located in EP7 portal. I have uploaded a PAR file, but I cant find the Component Inspector tool to run it. Before, this tool used to be inside the Java Developer Role, but we dont have that role available in our portal.
Basically, our requirement is to execute a PAR file that we have uploaded? How to do that?
Thank you.

Flash CS4 Quiz Template: Help Needed

My organization uses the Flash CS4 quiz template that is included within the eLearning suite. Everything works great. The quiz loads on the LMS, it gives learners' their scores, etc. The issue we're having is after the score is recorded within the LMS.
If a user fails the quiz, the LMS marks the quiz as 'Completed/Failed'. The LMS (Inquisic EX), then, moves the failed quiz into the 'Completed Courses' tab. I understand why it does this because the 'Completed' mark given refers to the learner having gone through all of the pages within the quiz; however, the learner failed the quiz. If the learner goes back into the quiz and passes it the second time around, the LMS continues to state 'Completed/Failed'.
Does anyone know why this would happen? Are there SCORM settings we ought to change within the source code provided by Adobe?
I really appreciate your help!!

I think this is what I'm having trouble with, did you figure
it out? I need help making checkbox text have multiple
lines.

Change default colours in quiz template

Hi,
I'm using the Flash quiz templates to make some quizzes.
Can anyone tell me how to change the colour of the message
text AFTER an option has been selected. I can change the colour of
the 'Make a selection' text but once the selection has been made
(ie the option box checked) the default blue is used for the
correct answer text and the default red is used for the message
text. I'd like to make them the same colour as the rest of the text
I am using in the quiz.
Thanks very much.

Here's how to have your templates available in the "File New From Template" in Adobe Illustrator for Windows.
What you need to have
Administrator access to your machine.
What you need to know
The default directory for Adobe Illustrator templates is here (for CS5.1)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
The default Windows security doesn't allow shortcuts to be created directly under that directory.
You can, however, create the shortcut indirectly!
What you need to do
In Summary
Create one (or multiple) folder shortcut(s) in the default Illustrator template directory.
In Detail
Open Illustrator
Select File -> New From Template
Drop down the "Look in" drop-down, note the directory:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
Open a Windows Explorer, and navigate to that directory
Open another Windows Explorer, and navigate to the directory where you keep your templates.
Right-click-drag your folder from the second Explorer (your directory) to the first Explorer (default templates) and drop.
Select "Create shortcut" from the right-click popup menu that appears when you "drop" (release the mouse button).
Windows will display a message "Shortcut cannot be created here, do you want to create it on the desktop".
Select Yes.
Move the directory shortcut to the Illustrator to the first Explorer (default templates directory)
Windows will ask for Administrator permissions.
Select Yes.
You can right-click on the template shortcut and rename it without the " - Shortcut" suffix; you'll have to grant Administrator permissions for that as well.
After completing these steps, your template shortcut will appear properly and you can select it. Happy designing!
