Track quiz score with Flash

I have to setup an assessment for a client that will utilize a custom tracking system (really just storing XML files with score info) and no LMS. I initially thought that all I would need to do is track the cpQuizInfoPointsscored and maybe the cpInfoPercentage variables. I have discovered, much to my disappointment, that these variables only get updated on straight question slides and not from the interactive elements (ie, click boxes, TEB, etc). I have verified that these elements have their reporting turned on and all my settings seem to be in order. The quiz still scored properly but I can't get those values from the swf in flash. Has anyone done this before? Any ideas? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks

4madhats,
Please try this. Create a User Variable inside Captivate, let's call it myQuizScore. For each of your Interactive Objects, have an advanced action which has an expression like -
Expression: myQuizScore = myQuizScore + <points assigned for that object>
Continue
When you encounter Question Slides, for 'On Success' or 'On Failure', use an Advanced Action which has -
Expression: myQuizScore = myQuizScore + cpQuizInfoPointsscored
Continue
Now, you may use this myQuizScore variable in your Flash project to track the score.

AS3 how to save quiz score with SharedObject

I'm working on a quiz using AS3 on timeline. I can't figure out how to save the score at the end of the quiz. The result of quiz is displayed by its dynamic text box (out_score.text), but it isn't saved along with the rest of information. Please help!
When I go back to section I, all information is displayed, but quiz score goes back to zero (0).
I have section I, which collects user information. Section II, 25 question quiz, and section III, which displays information and score.
SECTION ONE (labeled "inf"):
// score variable
var i:Number=0;
stage.showDefaultContextMenu=false;
// declaring sharedObject
var userInf:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("userInformation", "/");
if(userInf.data.userName != undefined) {
gotoAndStop("closing");
// inf button
inf_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, saveData);
function saveData(evt:MouseEvent): void
gotoAndStop("pg1"); // here starts the quiz
// SECTION II, for each correct answer
i++;
SECTION III (labeled "closing").
out_score.text = i.toString(); // dynamic box
userInf.data.userScore = out_score.text;
out_score.text = userInf.data.userScore;
// button saves score and user's information
save_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoResults);
function gotoResults(evt:MouseEvent): void
userInf.flush();
gotoAndStop("intro");
Thanks for any help!

Quiz Score in Slide Presentation

Hi All,
I have prepared a short tutorial in slide presentation format
with 20 questions at the end, and I'm trying to get the quiz score
(using Flash with AICC tracking) displayed on the last slide but I
haven't been successful so far. I am using slide template in Flash
Professional 8, and I followed the instructions in Flash help menu
including copying all the required files onto my server, but I'm
still having problem with reporting the quiz score.. The only thing
I don't understand very well in the instruction found on the help
menu is "start the LMS system (or create the AICC Course Descriptor
Files) that references the frameset.htm file."
I would appreciate if anybody could provide me with
information on where to get help on this. Maybe there is a tutorial
somewhere I am not aware of.
Dave

Bump.

Flash quiz score tracking on LMS?

I m creating quiz in flash with socring. i want to upload it on LMS, i want to track my score on LMS. please help me with the same. thanks!

Try turning off bookmarking.
Turn off Self-Paced Learning in the TOC settings by unticking this option
This may not fix the issue for users that have already taken the course because the bookmark is actually a Flash Shared Object and these are not that easy to erase. Try it with a new user that hasn't done the course yet.
If the problem persists, you could also try turing off Resume Data to stop the LMS's own bookmarking.
To do this, you have to tick the option in LMS Customisation to Never Send Resume Data.

How can I view the complete score with all tracks? I seem to only be able to view one track at a time. Thanks

Presenter 7 tracking quiz results without a LMS

Is there a way to track quiz results from quizzes recorded in Presenter 7, without having a LMS? Thanks.

Same exact question I have. I would like to place the presenter file on our GoDaddy server (ugh, I know, not my choice) and have a way for the course taker and us to be able to view the scores of quizzes as well as the final score of the course. Any help with this would be highly appreciated.

Only Last Quiz Score Saved?

I am a new Captivate user but a very experienced Authorware
user. I have created a quiz in my Captivate course which is
launched through our Learn.com LMS. I notice that each time I take
the quiz, it overwrites my last quiz score. Is there a way in
Captivate to only allow users to take a quiz one time? Or is there
a way to find out the score for every Captivate session?
Interestingly, I notice that each time I take the quiz, the summary
page says I've only accessed it one time. Any comments or
suggestions to help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew,
Hello! It's me, Carol Paquette (cjp717). I finally got my
Captivate to work correctly with my Learn.com LMS! As it turns out,
because we have SSL encryption on our LMS, they had to unsecure the
page that launched Captivate in our LMS registry settings. I am
packaging for SCORM 2004 - Flash 8. Yes, recording is now working
like a charm but only the last quiz score is saved.
I looked for the resume option in Captivate but can't locate
it. I can tell you this - the user always starts at the beginning
of the tutorial.
I also ran several reports from my LMS hoping that I could
generate records from all the session taken but the LMS must be
keeping just one user record and always rewriting the latest score
in the score field.

Tracking Assessment Simulation with SCORM 1.2 on LMS

Good day
I am using Captivate 3, and have managed to upload
successfully onto SumTotal LMS. However i have a requirement to not
only track on Quiz questions with SCORM 1.2 but to track an
assessment simulation - for example let the learner click on the
correct icon and type the correct text etc and then score that they
have successfully completed the simulation. I noticed in the Quiz
settings in Captivate 3 an option to "score interactions and quiz"
How does this work?? Do i always have to include a quiz with SCORM
settings before Capitvate generates the manifest file for it to
work on an LMS??
Any and all help much appreciated
LMSAdminer

In general... yes, you must set up scoring for each
interaction, turn on SCORM reporting with the "Report interactions
and the score" option and then republish the file. Captivate will
then generate the correct manifest for that file.
However, Captivate will *not* generate a multi-SCO manifest
(a manifest grouping multiple files into a single course). That
must be done in a 3rd-party tool, such as the Manifest Maker
extension for Dreamweaver.
A fairly comprehensive list of SCORM manifest-generating
tools can be found here:
List of
SCORM-Generating Tools
In addition, there can be issues getting SCORM to work with
individual LMS products. If you search these forums, especially the
Captivate eLearning forum, you'll find a number of posts on
SumTotal. Hopefully, you can find some useful information that way.
Also, a fellow Captivate user posted a tips document to the
Captivate Developer Exchange that might make interesting reading
for you:

Captivate with SumTotal 7.2
Best of luck!

Tracking quiz results in SAP

Has anyone had success in tracking quiz progress/results in
the SAP Learning Solution? We are implementing that LMS now, but
once I import a Captivate course, SAP does not seem to
capture/track the quiz results when the user goes through the
course.

dwrobertson,
There are at least two issues you should know about
integration with SAP:
- Captivate requires a change to a variable in the HTM file
after you
publish (though you could make the same change to the
SCORM.htm template
file so you make the change once and everytime you publish it
uses the
updated template).
-SAP doesn't use the score from Captivate. Scoring in SAP is
based on the
completion of all of the SCO's in a course. Since Captivate
creates a
course with a single SCO, when a learner completes your SCO
(your Captivate
file) they probably see a score of 100.
The change to the HTM file needs to be to the variable
"g_intAPIOrder".
Change it from a 0 to a 1.
More specific information can be found here (though there
isn't any
reference to SAP):
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/output_scorm_04.html#scorm_api
Let me know if this works/helps.

Andrew

How to get the Success Factors LMS to record the quiz score for an Adobe Captivate 7 module.

I have a few questions and one outstanding issue.
My Issue:
I can’t get the score to be recorded by the Success Factors LMS.
Question 1)
I notice that the quiz reporting section in Captivate 7’s Preferences menu has a “Data To Report” section.
However, for SCORM 2004 and Tin Can, there is no option to report Quiz Score like there is for SCORM 1.2 and AICC.
Is reporting the score impossible for those reporting standards?
Question 2)
My organization is using the Success Factors LMS and I’m trying to get the score to be recorded by the LMS.
I’ve set the Published Captivate module to report the Quiz Score as a percentage (Points is unavailable to me since there are more than 100 pts),
but the LMS is recording whether the module was Complete (passed) or incomplete (not passed or yet to be completed).
Is (are) there some parameter(s) on Captivate’s side that I need to be setting for Success Factors to correctly record the score?
- Maybe Captivate (in SCORM 1.2) should be reporting the Score as points and not percentage?
- Maybe I should be using AICC?
Is (are) there some parameter(s) on Success Factor’s side to interface correctly with Captivate?
I’ve checked the Adobe forums, but I don’t see any help there and
I’ve googled the issue to the point of exhaustion and frustration.
So, I would very much appreciate the help.
Thank you for your time.
Provided below is a screenshot of my Quiz Reporting settings:

Last year I worked with a customer who has the SuccessFactors LMS and, after some issues and discussions, the SF folks suggested their LMS supports AICC better than SCORM.
That stunned me a bit...
SO, sure, barring anything else, it may not hurt to try AICC!
And I think SF is also limited in their SCORM 2004 support. If going with SCORM, definitely try to get SCORM 1.2 working first.
Your settings look good to me. Maybe can't hurt to try 'points' but I'm not so sure that would work.
So you're ONLY seeing 'Completed/Incomplete' not 'passed/failed' as you'd prefer?
You're not seeing a recorded percentage at all?

Quiz Score Slide - Review Questions

Hi all,
I have put a number of discussions now and still can't seem to get this to work.
Once a user has completed the quiz and got to the quiz score slide to find out if they have passed or failed - for both I would like them to be able to 'review answers'. I know there is a review quiz but this just tells them what they got wrong or right and not why.
I have searched on Captivate and online to figure out how to make this work. I would like the user to be able to go through each slide and when there is a question they got wrong, there is an explanation for them.
Is this possible and how do I do it?
Thanks

Hi there,
You can have a slide as an explanation slide next to your quiz slides. You can use a conditional advanced action under On Enter property of the explanation slide. With the help of a variable called cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored, you will check whether the last answer was correct or not and have the explanation slide show/hide accordingly. For example, if each question in your project has 10 points associated. The variable will check whether the last question slide scored points were equal to 10, if yes then jump to next question slide and if no then go to the explanation slide.
Here is how it will look in the advanced action window:
Where Slide 4 is the next question slide and Slide 3 is the explanation slide.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Cp6 Quiz score reporting error in LMS

Looking for any inputs - this one's a bit strange:
I've been tasked with developing a course that allows the learner to test-out by jumping directly to the quiz. I've set up a series of advanced actions that allow one shot at the quiz without reviewing the course content, and actions that steer the learner back into the course after failing the quiz. All of these actions work, and the quiz score reports correctly each time within the course - the problem is what happens after that:
I leave the course and go to the learner profile on the LMS - instead of 100%, the score is reporting as 75% (4 question prototype). I've set preferences to complete the course and report the score - the course reports complete, the only error is the incorrectly reported score. When I leave the transcript page and go back to the course, the course opens to the last question in the quiz, rather than the last page visited - and the question is not completed. Is this a setting I'm missing on the Cp6 side, or do I need to interface with the IT guys running the LMS? I'm running Cp6 with the most current patches on a Meridian LMS.

In answer to Rod's suggestion to set the score to percentage:
Done - the client prefers that report anyway. Still seeing the stuff as described below.
In answer to Erik's questions above:
after the quiz, you have a quiz results screen that shows all the information you'd expect, right?
Right - the quiz results screen in the course shows the score achieved
If they passed, how do they close the lesson?
The "Continue" button on the results screen is set up to take them to a completion page. that page has an "exit" button that takes them out of the lesson and back to the LMS.
Does the LMS report the same result as the summary page?
Yes if the quiz is set up to "submit all" answers at once in Quiz:Settings. (However, this is not my client's preferred set-up - so I'm still searching for the answers below)
No if you have the quiz submit each answer individually - see below:
The scores reported on the results screens for the quizzes in the red box above were 100, 90, 80 and 80, respectively.
If they fail the lesson, how are they redirected back to the content?
The "Continue" button on the quiz results page is set up to jump to the first page of content if the score is below passing.
Then they go through the content?
Yes - its required at that point.
how do they retake the quiz?
the "next" button on the last content slide takes them directly to the quiz.
If they retake it, does the summary slide show the correct information?
In the "submit all" mode - this all works perfectly.
If set up to submit after each answer, if you fail the quiz and exit the course before retaking it, the score is reported correctly in the transcript - it seems as if it defaults to the minimum passing score in when you submit each answer individually.
again, how do they then proceed to close the lesson?
They exit the lesson using the "Exit" button, which closes it and takes them back to the LMS.
I'd suggest adding a 'continue' button to that summary slide (if there's not one already) and instruct the user to click, take them to a 'congratulations' page and instructions to now close the lesson.
Done - see above.
Do you have the lesson reporting 'after every slide' or 'send data at end'? If none of the above options help, try changing it from one to the other (in the 'template' options).
I've set it using the submit all checkbox in Quiz:Settings - not sure how to access template options - is this a menu I'm unable to find?
Thanks again for your time on this -

Creating Hindi quiz in Macromedia Flash 8

Hi,
I am working on Macromedia Flash 8 Quiz with 30 Questions.(The number of questions may increase in future)
Hindi Language is the National Language of India.
I need to input 30 Hindi Questions into the Macromedia Flash Quiz template.
I am trying to copy and paste the hindi text / questions (or any regional Indian languages in India for that matter) inside the component inspector parameters tab. I could not able to do it. Copy and pasting hindi text is converting to some english characters. So how to put the hindi text into the component inspector for creating hindi quiz in Macromedia Flash 8. What settings needs to be made. Please assist me in doing this.
Please send the detailed procedure on how to achieve this to my mail ID: [email protected]
Thanks in Advance.

Hello everybody!
I have the same doubt.
Recently I migrated to Ubuntu, because I did not feel comfortable in using pirated software and I installed the macromedia suite 8 (Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash) with wine.
These softwares have been discontinued and no longer enjoy any assistance, not least because macromedia does not exist.
But the fact that Adobe have bought Macromedia, I think maybe he has rights to the products that were previously the macromedia.
It is impossible I can buy some new versions of Adobe CS6, they are extremely expensive.
Please, I would like someone from Adobe answered my question with clarity and objectivity:
- It's a crime to use a suite of macromedia 8 transferred to a download site with one free key ?
Ubuntu for me has been very poor and unproductive.
If is a crime to use the versions of macromedia 8, I think I'll have to buy a version of windows 7 and buy the software from the Microsoft Expression Studio.
They are very good and very cheap, byt adove is better.

Quiz Score

The quiz score/results do not display at the end of the quiz.
I get the summary screen with the boxes, but no results or scores
appear in the boxes. I ensure that the "show score at end of quiz
option is turned on", but the score does not appear at the end of
the quiz. Please help!

You said:
quote:
I ensured that the Quiz tab has the "allow user to review
quiz" option checked, although I don't want the user to review the
quiz.
There was a misunderstanding there ... I said to
enable this "
as appropriate for your use." Obviously, in this case, it
was not. :D
At the "Movie > Quiz Manager" dialog, what selection have
you made on the main tab ("Scoring") near the bottom wherre it says
"Quiz Pass/Fail Settings"? One of the selections should be checked
- either a percentage of the weighted questions must be correct to
"Pass", or "X out of Y" questions must be correct to "pass".
On the same dialog, on the "Quiz tab, open the "Settings"
dialog beside "Show Score at End Of Quiz". On the "Score" section
(about half-way down the dialog), have you selected the action you
want your movie to take after the quiz is completed? The two
options are "Display Score" and "Display Percentage Score", I
believe. If these are both left blank, you might also see what you
are seeing ... let us know.
