Sequencing Quiz Output Issue on Captivate 4

Hi,
I've imported a powerpoint presentation as my content and added multiple choice, matching and sequencing activities.
There are several sequencing activities in the same learning object and I've had 2 related issues for learners.
Sometimes items from the previous sequencing activity replace those that should be present (this often happens after a user has clicked on an element to start the question)
Sometimes the same item appears in all of the parts of the sequence.
It appears that going back and reentering the slide MAY cure this, but not always.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Charlie

Hello:
I've encountered the same issue; however, I built my presentation from scratch (rather than importing it from a pwpt), so the issue isn't related to the fact that you imported content. I would say it's more likely related to how Captivate constructs swfs when you publish a file.
I haven't been able to come up with a technical work around. Instead, I've had to work around the issue by changing the format of my sequencing questions to multiple choice, though I don't think it's reasonable to have to be required to resort to that measure for a piece of software which is this expensive. The sequencing questions should work as designed.
Adobe Captivate support: any help here?

Quiz slide issues in Captivate 4

I am having functionality issues with quiz slides in Captivate 4. When taking the quiz, slides will randomly get stuck/grey out and the user has to click the back button and then go forward and the slide will then function correctly. This is not acceptable to the client, for obvious reasons. I have tried re-building the quiz slides (several times) and have also copied the entire project into a clean Captivate file. Nothing seems to make a difference and it is still completely random. I will preview the quiz over and over and sometimes it will work perfectly and then the next time it'll get stuck. This has only started occuring since I upgraded to Cp4. I have had to resort to not using Quiz slides at all and re-creating them with click boxes, but then I miss out on some of the needed functionality that the quiz slides provide (with feedback). I am pulling my hair out! Anyone else having trouble with this?

Hello all
I have been having the same issue and have spent a bunch of time with Adobe so this is what they sent me and so far my quizzes have been working and I have had no reports of any quiz's freezing up fingers crossed.
This is the latest corospondence from Adobe I have recived.. hope it helps..

1.)Separate all of the different quiz type questions into separate pools
and pull random questions from each pool.
2.)Stop using the multiple choice slides with single correct answer only
as it defeats the usability of the quiz module in Captivate
3.)Verify that video card drivers are compatible with Windows XP.
If you still think that it is the problem with Adobe Captivate then
please perform the below mentioned steps;-
1.) Recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files.
Recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files to eliminate problems
that a damaged preferences file might cause.
To recreate the Adobe Captivate preferences files:
1. Quit Adobe Captivate.
2. In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Documents and
Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Adobe and move the "Adobe
Captivate" folder to another location (for example, the Desktop).
3. Start Adobe Captivate. Adobe Captivate creates new preferences
files.

Review Area issue in Captivate 5 quiz

In testing a quiz I created in Captivate 5, I am finding that the Incorrect and Correct answers in the Review Area are truncated vertically. How can I get this text to show up completely?

The best you can do is use a smaller text font. The Review Area in Captivate 4 and 5 is not very configurable. If you can upgrade to Cp 5.5 it's much improved.

Sequence Quiz Using User Defined Variables - Can See Underlying Variable Name On Move

I have just tested using 1 slide to capture several user defined variables and the next slide to insert those variables as options in a sequence quiz slide.
This works but as soon as I grab an object to begin sequencing them the underlying variable name shows up alongside the variable content.
Am wondering if I am attempting something that shouldn't be possible in Captivate and / or if there is a fix?
Thanks

Sure, I'm using Captivate 8. On a test project I've created:
a slide with 2 text entry boxes, their contents are stored in variables
another slide with a sequence question (using the native captivate question slide)
The labels on the 2 sliders on the question slide use the variables from the previous slide.
This works, so if the variables are as follows:
$$data_sequence1$$ - "blah blah blah"
$$data_sequence2$$ - "blah"
The labels on the sliders on the sequence question will be "blah blah blah" and "blah". as intended.
The issue is when I click one of the sliders to drag it to sequence the variable name will flash up on screen. So if I touch the slider with the label "blah blah blah" $$data_sequence1$$ will flash up on screen.
I have other slides on there but these are the two related to this question. I haven't fully published the project I've previewed it.

Is there a way I can randomize quiz questions in Adobe Captivate 6 on multiple attempts?

I am trying to find a way in Captivate 6 to randomize quiz questions out of a pool (i.e.; 50 random questions slides are linked to a pool containing 63 questions, I want to allow for 3 attempts). Things work great witht he first attempt, but Captivate 6 is not generating new questions when I click the Retake Quiz button after failing the first attempt. Captivate 6 simply gives the exact same 50 questions as the first attempt in the exact same order. Is there any way around this issue in Captivate 6? Thank you in advance for any suggestions you have!

Rod, just thinking out loud, and maybe this is too complex...
Could (generic) you insert multiple random-question-slides and then control which slide is viewed based on how many quiz attemps have been made?
That is..
Slide 1 - question 1a
Slide 2 - question 1b
Slide 3 - question 1c
On first attempt, go to slide 1, skip slide 2 and 3. On second attempt, skip slide 1, go to slide 2, skip slide 3. On third attempt, skip slides 1 and 2, go to slide 3.
Could you use the cpQuizInfoAttempts variable to control the slide order with an advanced action?

Score Issues between Captivate 4 and 5

Hi Everyone,
We are noticing an issue between Captivate 4 and 5 and we can't seem to figure out what is going on, this issue is with Captivate modules that have no quiz and the completion status is based only on a % of slide views. We publish as SCORM with complete/incomplete and report percent.
With these types of modules created in Captivate 4, the LMS would record a completion and a N/A score. Now, for those created in Captivate 5, the LMS receives a 0% score and the completion. Our end users are really confused as to why they see a 0%. Any ideas on what may be causing this? The LMS is Taleo Learn, formerly Learn.com's LearnCenter.
Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Connor

If you can't download any old versions by logging into your account then clearly these have been discontinued. Your best bet is ask somebody to lend you their CD/DVD which you can copy for your safe keeping.
Old products are always discontinued and that is why you should always buy them on a CD/DVD so that they can installed whenever you have a new system or you have a system crash.
Good luck.

Are there any compatibility issues with Captivate and OS X Yosemite?

Has anyone noted any compatibility issues with Captivate and Yosemite?

I had the same issue. Updating resolved this as well.
I tested with Captivate 7 and almost everything seemed to work fine. I tested with an existing project file containing TEB's, Motion recording, a third party drag 'n drop widget, and a playbar with a TOC. This all seemed to work fine both in preview mode as after publishing. I also tested with Captivate 6 although I didn't publish anything. Here, everything seemed to work fine as well. However this was only SWF.
As jpm226 described for 8, previewing HTML5 doesn't seem to work with Captivate 6 and 7 either. Chrome gives a "This webpage is not available" notification. Publishing however, does seems to work.
Fortunately, the client we work for that asks us to use Captivate 7, also asks for SWF output. So I'll continue to use Yosemite for now.

PO output issue

Hello all Gurus,
I have a problem with the PO output form. We have created new output types and tested them in quality environment and found that the PO is generating the correct output. Then we moved these output types to production environment and tested with our production user ids. There also, the system generated the correct PO output forms.
But when my client tested the outputs he is not getting data in Bill to address and Registration boxes. These two boxes contains the company code address. The system is displaying only the hardcoded data for the client. Not the company code data which is picked up from the tables through the form program. Can somebody suggest me why my client is getting this issue when we are not getting with our user ids in production?
Also, I don't think this is a problem of authorization roles, since this issue is coming only for the company code 3278.
For the rest of the company codes, the user is getting the correct PO forms. Only for Company code 3278, he is getting the incorrect output issue.
We tried to modify the program by updating the font size and character format. But this didn't work.
This issue has been there in my queue since the last one month and it has exceeded the permitted time limit. We are really bothered about this issue but not getting any correct solution for this.
Please, somebody provide me some valuable suggestions on this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Umakanth.

Murugan,
1. For the client's user id, the PO output is not showing the company code data in the PO output form. But when we are trying to see the same thing in production in ME23N (we don't have access to make changes in production), we are getting the correct PO form that shows the company code address also.
2. The company code 3278 and output types were created at the same time and moved to production.

I accidentally deleted a button I need on the quiz results page in captivate 8. How do I get it back?

Go back into Quiz, Preferences, Pass or Fail. Uncheck 'Retake button' and check it again, it will reappear on the Score slide.

Any possible issues using Captivate 4 on Vista 64-bit OS?

Hi:
Looking to order a new PC and load up on ram for Captivate 4 and some other applications I am using.
I realize Captivate 4 is not certified for use on a Vista 64 bit OS, but I am wondering if I will run into a bunch of performance issues or what your experience may be using C4 on a 64 bit machine. I heard it is possible to force Captivate 4 to run as a 32bit application, but I don't know specifically how to do it.
Any feedback is appreciated.

None that I found. I worked with adobe for a while and they sent me a couple of patchs that were supposed to fix the problem, and while I eventually could record audio, I never was able to edit it. Adobe eventually lost interest and stopped responding to my requests. I think it has something to do with Vista becasue I am running xp on a brand new 64bit Mac at home and it works fine.

Help required with Access Sequence for output of Delivery

Hi
I have created new conditon table for shipping point and storage location
Created new access sequence , with this new condition table as the 1st sequence - the others being Sales org/ Customer and then Shipping point.
Applied this Access sequence to Output type
I created condition record against 1st access sequence, Shipping point and storage location
Yet when I created Stock Transport Order and subsequent delivery for this STO.
The first access sequence against Shipping point and Storage location was not found
The fields used against shipping point and storage location in my access sequence are as follows:-
VSTEL KOMKBV2 VSTEL
LGORT KOMPBV2 LGORT
I also tried with a condition for shipping point and material , but this was not found either
Any ideas ?
Please advise
Many thanks
Tony

HI
checked the config and the delivery type is assigned to output determination procedure for shipping output.
we have two outputs for deliveries, one for delivery schedule note and the other for despatch note, once PGI has been done.
Delivery schedule note is first in the determination procedure so delivery type NL replenishment delivery is assigned to the first output in this procedure
is something amiss here ??
Thanks
Tony

Audio Issues in Captivate 4 on Vista

Hi,
Just wondering if there is a fix out yet to deal with the audio issues in Captivate 4 - I'm running on regular Vista - editing audio in Soundbooth, importing MP3 files into Captivate - clicks and pops abound. Really frustrating and annoying. Is anyone working on improving this and other Captivate 4 annoyances?
Thanks,
Marianne

Hi Chip
Glad it worked for you.
For what it's worth, you will likely find it has nothing to do with Acrobat. I've seen it happen with RoboHelp and with Captivate and other software. Likely something failed during a recent software install of a different package. Unfortunately the symptom appears with a legitimate and soundly installed package.
Good luck in getting it sorted... Rick

HT6030 Sound output issue with Mavericks

There is a sound output issue with Mavericks and Firewire800 Audio devices. I am using a MIO 2882 but now people are having issues with other devices as well. Is this something that will be addressed in an update? If not I will need to downgrade my OS.

maybe the adapter went bad.....fast. try getting one thats made by sony. or apple. i have had bad luck with some cheap products i bought.
or maybe thats the brand you have ad luck with. i remember when i use to get some quantom fireball drives, and they just died on me the next week. im down to two and keeping a good eye on them. especially fujitsu. the only ones i have GREAT LUCK with are Seagate and Western digitals drives.

Review area for Sequence quiz

I am having trouble with the sequence quiz review box. I have
8 questions to be put in correct order - if the questions are
answered incorrectly, there is insufficient space in the review box
to display the correct order. Does anyone have a solution for this
problem?

Sorry Christine, for letting this thread slip through the
cracks. Many posts get too many (differing) answers, but somehow
this one fell off everyones radar.
Okay, yes, *size* can mean either the physical size in
pixels, or the number of slides in the project. In you case, I was
referring to the pixel size because i was wondering if you had made
a mini-movie which did not have room enough to display the answer
during review. By the way, 790x555 is a very good size to work
with.
But you have probably indicated the right answer for
yourself. Your correct answer(s) are wordy, and I am sure that is
your problem. Have you tried, in editing the Question-slide, to
grab and drag the *area* for the review answers? It can be
manipulated, but only to a degree. That is one of the reasons I
seldom use any question format that requires lengthy typing to
complete the answer.
There is not necessarily a maximum number of characters
acceptable, but there is only so much room to display, or *review*
those answers.
Have a great day. I will try to pay better attention next
time. LOL!

'Sequence' quiz question...

Hi
I have used a Sequence quiz slide with the user having to arrange words dragging and dropping in order form top to bottom.
What I am wondering is whether you can go left to right with sequence questions, instead of the default top to bottom?
I have a set of 4 steps which I want the user to put in order from left to right, but it doesnt seem possible.
Cheers

Hi There,
As per your question, Sequence question can only work with Drop down or Drag Drop and for Drag Drop we cannot do it Right to left or Left to Right only Top to Bottom.
Thanks
