Scoring a sequence/drag n drop question

I had problems with this in CP4 and never figured out how to resolve them.
In Captivate 5, I am using a sequence question. Right now it has 4 objects and a total score of 100 points.
I would like the user to be awarded 25 points for any answer that is in the correct spot. I.e. if they have 1 and 4 right, they get 50 points, even if 2 and 3 are wrong. As far as I can tell, it will only score you as 100 if you are right or 0 if even one is wrong.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks!

Hello,
Up till now this is not possible in Captivate with the default question slides. If you want partial scoring you'll need to construct the question slides yourself. I worked out an example in this article:
Question slide with partial scoring
However drag-and-drop will not be possible with custom question slides, unless you are willing to buy the drag-and-drop widget created by InfoSemantics.

Drag and drop questions in scjp

hi all,
i m planning to write scjp this month..
can anyone tell me what 'drag n drop' questions like?
and what kind of questions are generally asked?

Well you can't change your answer for the drag and drop i mean you can but if you try to go back and try to see your question again for drag and drop then your answer is going to be deleted and then you had to redo the whole thing.
So i suggest please make your decision at the same time. Drag and drop are not hard i mean something like this
System.out.printf("Pi is approxmicately", Math.PI);
Pi is approximately ______
Place the value for PI 3.14
3.145
Something like that Good luck

Drag and Drop Questions in ocjp6

Hi friends, I'm about to take my ocjp6 exam the following month. Does the exam has DRAG AND DROP questions or I have no need to worry about it? Any latest exam takers? or any one who's aware of it kindly help me with your guidance friends.

If you think that article implies that ALL drag and drop questions were removed from the tests you need to reread it.
The fact that you are not prepared is manifest from the question that you ask and the lack of preparation that you showed by not having reviewed the official information that was available.
As has been frequently stated in the past Oracle is always free to include or exclude ANY topic from ANY exam at ANY time without prior notice. Exam takers are expected to have knowledge in ALL of the fundamental areas of their topic.
Most people preparing for an exam would take one of the many preparatory courses and trial exams that are available.
The fact that you have not indicated that you have done ANY of that is what indicates your lack of preparation.
Attempting to 'shoot the messenger' might make you feel better but it won't overcome your lack of preparation.

Adobe Presenter 10 Drag and Drop questions - only grey box when trying to create

Hi,
I try to create drag and drop questions in Presenter 10 and after clicking on Add Question -> Drag Drop, the new window opens but where I should be able to define the questions etc, the screen is just grey. Have the same issue on three other systems as well.
Flash is updated to latest version and so is Presenter 10.
Weirdly the installed Flash version is 15, but a right-click into the grey box shows me version 11.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Just in case someone else has the same problem, a chat with Adobe brought the solution:
On the gray screen, Right click and go to Global settings
Go to advanced tab
Scroll down and click "Trusted location settings"
On the "Trusted location settings" window, click "add" on the bottom
Click "Add Folder" and select "Local disk c"
Click "Ok" and Confirm on "Trusted location settings" window
Worked for me (on three different machines) like a charm!

How do I add a progress monitor to a drag and drop question in captivate 7

I need to build a quiz. We have spent a lot of time on the style guide and appearance but I am having difficulty adding a progress monitor to my drag and drop questions. How can I do this?

A Drag&Drop is not a normal question slide, hence that progress indicator is not added, and it wouldn't even be functional.
Long time ago I explained how to create a custom progress indicator, maybe it can help you: Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog

Drag n Drop question

hi. this is what i want to do:
drag a file from a windows desktop, drop it into an applet that exists in a browser.
the applet reads the local path and filename of the dropped object, and uses that to retrieve the file from the local system and uploads it via ftp to the server where the applet was downloaded from.
i know how to do the basic drag and drop stuff, DropListeners and all, as well as the ftp transferring. but when i drop a Windows object into the applet in the browser and try to find out anything about it (with getTransferData()), i get exceptions thrown (InvalidDndOperationException).
My question is: how can i get the path and filename of a Windows object dropped into an Applet existing in a browser?
please reply to my email address if you can: [email protected] . thanks

hi hool
Can i ask you a question?? You seem to know a little more then me regarding Drag and drop. In my program i have actually got the basic stuuf working for drag and drop, in saying that i have added a source area to a panel and placed this at the north of my canvas , i have also created a target panel and placed it south to my canvas. SO now i can drag from the source area to my target area. What i want to do is when i hit a RUN button it goes and checks all the components in my target area and maybe carry out an action on what is there. Can this be done or am i just talking goobly gooke. Sorry i can't answer your question.

Drag and Drop questions and Serialization in the 1Z0-852 Upgrade exam?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the drag and drop items and serialization have been removed from the 1Z0-852 Java SE 6 Programmer Certified Professional UPGRADE exam?
I know that they have been removed from the 1Z0-851, but not sure about the upgrade exam.
Thanks in advance,
Alvaro

Drag and drop questions using image and painting

Hi all,
please apologize me if i'm posting a just discussed topic, but I couldn't find anything that could help me.
I'm trying to create an application where I've a Jtree on the left panel that contain entities that have to be dragged and dropped in the central panel (eventually pasting a representative image) as user decide.
I've just implemented all panels and jtree. I read java tutorial on drag and drop, but I don't know HOW i can paste image as objects that then i can manipulate in such a way that the user needs.
Do I have to use java.awt.dnd package?
Please, I'd like to receive some suggestion about.
Thanks in advance for your kindness.
Vincenzo

I'm sorry, I think that i've not been clear in my explanation. I don't know how to transfer by drag & drop an image (a node of a jtree) to a beside panel. I don't want to get code, it will be more appreciate suggestions on how to proceede.
I don't understand if I need java.awt.dnd package. On java tutorial I read that it shouldn't have to be used.
Thanks, I hope that I've been clearer now.

Drag and Dropping -- Question

Howdy,
I'm new at the whole drag and dropping thing...
I have a JList and users can drop mp3s on it (sorta like a playlist -- actually it is a playlist)
Now, I don't want users to drop .txt or .doc files onto the Jlist and what I have done to prevent this is the following: (Full code below)
String extension = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf('.')+1);
if (extension.equals("mp3")) {
     listModel.addElement(f.getName());
     vectorFullPath.add(f.getPath());
}I guess what I want to know is, should I be using the isDropAcceptable method to disallow dropping of non mp3 files instead of using the code above? And how would I go about using that function, properly?
class TextAreaDropSongs extends JPanel {
     Vector<String> vectorFullPath;
     public TextAreaDropSongs() {
          vectorFullPath = new Vector<String>();
          DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
          JList jlist = new JList(listModel);
          new DropTarget(jlist, new TextDropTargetListener(listModel, vectorFullPath));
          this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          this.add(new JScrollPane(jlist), "Center");
     public Vector<String> getSongPaths() {
          return vectorFullPath;
class TextDropTargetListener implements DropTargetListener {
     DefaultListModel listModel;
     Vector<String> vectorFullPath;
     public TextDropTargetListener(DefaultListModel dlm, Vector<String> vec) {
          listModel = dlm;
          vectorFullPath = vec;
     public void dragEnter(DropTargetDragEvent event) { }
     public void dragExit(DropTargetEvent event) { }
     public void dragOver(DropTargetDragEvent event) { }
     public void dropActionChanged(DropTargetDragEvent event) {
          if (!isDragAcceptable(event)) {
               event.rejectDrag();
               return;
     public void drop(DropTargetDropEvent event) {
          if (!isDropAcceptable(event)) {
               event.rejectDrop();
               return;
          event.acceptDrop(DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY);
          Transferable transferable = event.getTransferable();
          DataFlavor[] flavors = transferable.getTransferDataFlavors();
          for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
               DataFlavor d = flavors;
               try {
                    if (d.equals(DataFlavor.javaFileListFlavor)) {
                         java.util.List fileList = (java.util.List) transferable.getTransferData(d);
                         Iterator iterator = fileList.iterator();
                         while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                              File f = (File) iterator.next();
                              String extension = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf('.')+1);
                              if (extension.equals("mp3")) {
                                   listModel.addElement(f.getName());
                                   vectorFullPath.add(f.getPath());
               } catch (Exception e) { }
          event.dropComplete(true);
     public boolean isDragAcceptable(DropTargetDragEvent event) {
          return (event.getDropAction() & DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE) != 0;
     public boolean isDropAcceptable(DropTargetDropEvent event) {
          return (event.getDropAction() & DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE) != 0;

Im using yousendit.com
I click the download link that is emailed to me by them from the sender, then it says "downloading" and then when it's done it opens Itunes and starts playing the file.
and Im using Safari as my browser.

JTree Drag and Drop question

I have drag and drop working fairly well using jdk 1.4. I'm able to copy and move objects around in the tree and change the cursor as it moves over various objects in the tree. The only problem I'm having is when the user drops something into someplace that rejects the drop, for instance in the blank area of the JTree object. In this case, the drop never seems to complete. If I try to drag that same object again it throws an InvalidDnDOperationException saying that a DnD operation is already in progress. I noticed that the drop() operation is not being called when the user drops the object into a rejected area.
I've searched the forums and haven't seen anyone else report this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'd love it too if you would send me you code, or post it so others can benefit; there seems to be quite a number of people who want DnD JTree functionality. I've been going nuts trying to figure out the best way to implement DnD on a JTree. I started using the new TransferHandler and had reasonable success with it. But, I'm not sure how to get the cursor to change based on DropTarget (not all nodes are created equal in this regard). I need access to the DragSourceContext, but I don't know how to get it when using the TransferHandler method.
I have other issues with the TransferHandler also, like trying to make DnD work consistently with Cut-And-Paste all in the same TransferHandler. Or, trying to deal with the fact that you can change a move-type DnD operation into a copy-type operation after you start dragging, but before you drop just by pressing the control-key. This sort of implies to me that the original createTransferable() should always make a copy, so that the only issue is whether to clean up in exportDone().

Easy Drag and Drop question

I can drag-n-drop from a tree to tree; grid to tree; tree to
list; list to tree ... but I'm having a helluva time dragging from
a plain old textInput to a tree. It seem to be something to do
w/the drag proxy ... when I try it, a new node shows up in the tree
with no label.
I'm running out if ideas.
Thanks --
-- Jeff

This is interesting. As well as having the above problem, I
was getting an incorrect result when dragging to the correct points
in column 2. even though it should be correct
Because of the issue in the previous post, i.e. not being
able to see the last two entries, I decided to delete them.
Hey presto this seemed to fix this above problem. Now my drag
and drop works.
It seems captivate doesn't like to go beyond 6 entries in
column 1 i.e. doesn't show the extra entries and also causes an
false error when successfully completing the drag and drop

Captivate 7 Drag and Drop Question

I'm trying to create a drag & drop with one correct drop target, and six items to choose from. Three correct answers, and three incorrect. I'd like to have three items be dropped in, while three should not. My issue is I can't get Captivate to "reject" the three incorrect when dropped in the target... I'm sure it is something simple, and I am just overlooking it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You will have to check if the target is set up to Accept only the correct drag sources. Select target, Click on Object Actions (Format tab). By default it is set to Accept All, uncheck the wrong drag sources.

Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

Hello,
I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities. Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format. Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction. I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request - save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
Paul

Hello,
I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
Thanks again for any help related to this issue. If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks!
Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.

How can I allow a learner to review a created Drag and Drop Quiz to show the learner their incorrect/correct answers?

Captivate 8: I have created an assessment with two multiple choice question slides and eight drag and drop question slides. After the learner views their score, I would like them to be able to review all of their answers to see where errors were made. Currently, the review quiz only shows their answers and the correct answers for Multiple choice question slides. Ideally, I would like a review of the drag and drop question slides where the incorrect choices are outlined in red or something to this effect. I appreciate any insight and suggestions!

Sorry, D&D is not a normal question slide and I can only recommend logging a feature request. I would really like to be able to choose whether an interaction is reset or not, because this problem doesn't exist only for D&D but for all learning interactions as well.

Drag and Drop in a quiz

Hi,
I have a quiz in Captivate 7 that is using Submit All. Every question now has a "Clear", "Back", "Next", Submit All" button. I have created a drag and drop question using the new drag and drop functionality and selcted to include the question in the quiz. The problem is that I don't get the back, next or submit all buttons. I can use the Reset button and rename it Clear but Captivate has only added a Submit button, not a submit all button and I can't see how to change that or add the others.
This quiz was originally built in version 6 and I used the drag and drop question widget from eLearning Bros but it doesn't work in version 7 and I'll need to publish this quiz in version 7.
Thanks

Hi there,
Presently, you cannot add a Drag and Drop question as part of ‘Submit All'. Please file a feature request for the same in http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
To add Back , Next buttons on a Drag and Drop question, Please add two button object on stage, Change the button text as 'Next', 'Back' and set actions as 'Go to Next Slide', 'Go to Previous Slide' accordingly.
Hope this resolves the Next and Back button issues.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.
