Word search widget for quiz

Hello, how can I customize and include the word search widget in a quiz? This Widget is on of the 10 questions and should make part of the result.
Thank you

Most of the game interactions are interactive, which means they can have a
score. Bit the word search is static, no way to attach a score. And even
for those games that are interactive, the score is not given based on the
result of the game, just on it having been played.

Cptiavte 8 - the actions does not appear in proprerties when adding a word search widget - any clues please

Are there some bugs in captivate - the properties do not always show timings - is this the same for Actions on a word search widget?

I understood perfectly your question. There is barely documentation about the learning interactions. I have been presenting last year at DevLearn about them with great success, but this year that presentation (even a workshop would be useful) was declined. And I never see any tutorial about them, no documentation in the Help etc. Wondering why, because they offer some time saving functionality to make a course more engaging. In my last blog post I showed how the Scrolling TextArea Interaction (as widget it is called TextArea, name that is still visible for the interaction as well???) can be used for a Short Answer question with more functionality than the default one: Custom Short Answer Question - Captivate blog
There is already the big confusion: why are there Widgets (they still are included) and Learning Interactions that both are pointing to widgets (hence the generic name), just to make the difference between those widgets that are SWF only and those that are compatible also with HTML5 output (the so-called Learning Interactions or Interactions)? Terminology is to say it very diplomatic, bit 'inconsistent'.
But what I explained in this blog post about Widgets, the 3 categories, is also valid for the Learning Interactions: http://blog.lilybiri.com/using-captivate-widgets-some-tips
You will see that static widgets cannot trigger Actions! Only the interactive widgets (and question) can do that. It is the same difference that exists for objects: non-interactive objects like text captions, images, cannot have actions attached to them, only the interactive objects (buttons, click boxes, TEB's, shape buttons). There is one hybrid object, the rollover slidelet. The Interaction you are pointing at, Word Search, is a static interaction, which means no actions and thus the Actions tab will not appear!
Another blog post shows all the events that can trigger an action: Events and (advanced) Actions - Captivate blog
As for your second question: in Captivate 6 all interactions were pausing at the first frame, and that caused a lot of problems (audio not playing is one of them). For that reason the behavior changed radically from 7 on: now they are not pausing at all. That means thaty you need to insert an interactive object with a pausing point like a button (think about a Next button?), click box, shape button...
Oh yes, static widgets cannot have score attached to them, there is no real way to check if the WordSearch widget has been used? It is an exception, because the other game interactions have an associated variable, are interactive, can trigger actions and can have a score (but that is another long story).
Think I have spent already too much time answering, to try to fill in the gaps in the documentation. I could write multiple articles on Interactions, want to provide more information but free things are not considered valuable at all. Why should I bother

Buggy word search widget

The word search widget seems to become easily corrupted in Captivate 8.0.1.242. If I try to modify the widget, it will no longer display properly. Anyone have tips on preventing this bug?

As you can see from the version number in my post, I have the latest version, though I'm not sure why that should matter. I cannot even configure the widget now. See the screenshot for the configuration screen. I should see letters and be able to edit the words, but those elements have been stripped away.
Now see the second screenshot below for what it looks like in preview. It looks the same if you SCORM it and load into an LMS.

Word Search Widget Captivate 6

the word search widget in captivate 6 keeps freezing. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I know... in 6 all interactions paused at the first frame, causing problems. Now they don't pause at all, which causes new troubles.
No need for an advanced action at all. Just insert an interactive object that has a pause: maybe a Next button?

Covering text on Word Search widget

Hi,
I am using the word search widget and ther is some faint text on the bottom that saus "click the first then the last letter of the work to ma e a selection"
I am trying to get wrid of that so I can put the instruction text elsewhere on the slide, but the words stay visible, even over some buttons we have got in the fram. Sending to bck doesnt work either. I have also tried covering the text with an image (of background), thenm grouping the widget with the image on front, but then that covers the buttons, even if I use send backwards...
Is ther a way if editing that instruction text so I can get rid of it?
Cheers
Rossco

Hi Rossco
I saw your replies only now as I am in India. Glad that you figured out a way.
To answer your question on how to assign an image to smartshape, you can go to Fill and Stroke accordion and click the Fill dropdown list. Here you have an option to browse and select a custom image.

Word Search Widget

Hi there,
I wonder if you can help me. I have inserted a WordSearch interaction using Captivate 7. I have never used this Interaction before. I edited the questions and answers and clicked Generate but nothing happened so I clicked OK. After the properties of the widget updated, the grid was just a grey box with no letters. I went back into Widget Properties but there was no longer the option to Edit Words and the grid is just grey with no letters.
I have tried to create the interaction again. Again, the Generate button did not work and this time, after clicking OK, it seems to freeze during Updates Properties.

Don't think that is possible unfortunately. These interactions in Captivate 6 are relatively restrictive so 7 words is what you get to play with.

Request: Easynews Global Search Widget

Does anyone know where I can find the Easynews Global Search Widget for OSX? I had it downloaded before, but lost it on a reload.
Help.

Have you tried the 'Refresh' (appears along with Favorites,Settings etc at top right) of cFolders? Use this and see if Refresh is faster than the IE/FF (Browser) refresh.

My iphone 5 has the word searching in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I can connect to the net , but no phone service. What is possibly wrong?

WHy cant i get phone service? The word " searching " has been in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I have internet service but no phone service. Does any one have any thoughts or suggestions?

When you say you have Internet service, are you connected to wifi? Have you tried a reset on the phone? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. The phone will reboot. After it starts, see what happens. Do you have a valid SIM in the phone, one that is activated through a carrier? Have you contacted the carrier to see what they say, since phone service is a carrier responsibility?

No search feature for Dashboard widgets?

In Dashboard, when you click the Manage Widgets button at the bottom and then you click More Widgets in the Manage Widgets window, you are taken to Apples' official Dashboard Widgets web page at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard.
At the bottom of the page, it says there are "3901 Dashboard Widgets" available. But oddly, there seems to be no search feature for the widgets.
There's a Widget Browser where you can drill down by category, but sometimes it's just easier to search for what you want.
There's a search field at the very top of the page in the navigation bar (just as there's one for this page, but that searches the whole Apple site, not just the widgets.
Is there a way to do a text search for Dashboard widgets?

I took a look and agree that there doesn't seem to be a way so you aren't just blind...unless we both are
The only thing I noticed is since all the widgits seem to reside in the same directory you could do a google search a la
"widget I want site:http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/"
I suppose apple thinks most people don't commonly associate widgets by there actual name so categories are easier but it seems trivial just to throw in a search function with a nice little preview of each widget.
Maybe we just didn't look deep enough.

When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words. I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

Come on guys....!!Any one here to answer or any one knows about it?

Where do I find word search interaction in captivate 8?

hi there
Just started using Captivate 8 and can't seem to find the word search interaction or game anywhere. I've googled it and still can't get the answer I'm after. Can someone help me please?
Thanking you in advance.
Irma

Hi Irma,
Did you have an installation of an older version of Captivate before? Learning interactions, originals should be in the Gallery, but normally you are using the interactions from a duplicate folder in Public documents. For Windows the path is: \Users\Public\Public Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Interactions_8_0. Can you check if you have that folder and if 10_WordSearch wdgt is in it?
If not, close Captivate, delete that folder Interactions_8_0. When you restart, a new copy of the folder will be recreated. If you still do not see the widget, something went wrong with the installation I am afraid.
BTW There is a second (and for me quicker way) to insert an interaction, using the Insert, Widgets from the menu bar. You have to do this if the path to the interactions is not correct, because here you can browse to the folder I mentioned before. Moreover, a list needs lot less searching and scrolling than the window with the thumbnails. The same option can also be used to insert an older widget (SWF only), but those are located only in the Gallery. Maybe this post can clarify something: Tips - Learning Interactions - Captivate blog
