Hi. I need to be able to use a captivate pause button to pause a swf embedded in the project, but I also need it to pause all movie clips in that swf. Any suggestions?

I'm having difficulty using a swf with a 3d movie clip, it's displaying much larger in captivate than it does in any other context. Are there known issues with 3d clips in captivate?

Nice! this worked perfectly. I didnt know there was an advanced answer option field. Thank you so much for showing this to my. just as an FYI, this only works if I only apply it to my wrong answers, for some reason it interferes with my code for my right answers, athough I think if I moved my correct answer code from "On Success" to advanced Answers it'd be better. I'll save that for the next test I make using this method. Again thank you so much you probably just saved me two days of looking 😄

But this option wont allow them to re-answer the next time around will it?

This works for me, though is there any way to move to the next slide on submit nomatter what answer they give? I dont like the fact that when I submit a wrong answer it does nothing, and I dont want to display a caption, I just want to move on and come back to it later. I cant find any options for what happens when you submit a wrong answer anywhere. Baring in mind that I dont need to report any of the information it just needs to be functional.

Sure, to sum it up first, the basic mechanic is that each slide asks the captivate project whether or not it's been answered correctly. If it has already been answered correclty it's skipped. At the end of the quiz it goes back to the start. In a little more detail: Slide 1 - I set a variable at the root level as an array that is the length of the number of questions I have in the slide. I then set all of the cells in the array to 0. Question Slides - At each question I check whether or not its corrosponding array cell has a 1 or a 0 in it. If it's a 0 I continue with the question. If it's a 1 I skip to the next slide (this necessitates a slide transition of some kind otherwise you see a single frame of the question that you're skipping After the Quiz - I have a slide that compares the total value of the array cells added up against the length of the array. If the array value is the same as the length then all questions have been answered correctly. If not it returns to the beginning of the quiz. Rinse, repeat.

I want to be able to return to quiz questions post answer if they're incorrect, but I cant find a good way to reset the answer so the user can resubmit. Does anyone know the method for this? I'm aware of the remediation functionality that already exists but it doesnt work for me, the user needs to take the entire quiz before returning to their slides. I have everything working already except for the fact that the user cannot resubmit a question that's already complete.

Yeah I think people's fear of learning a scripting language ends up losing them a lot of time in the long run. I dont doubt you can do a lot of neat things with Advanced Actions, but for the most part it's simply easier to execute them in Javascript. Also the fact taht you can't create an array with just advanced actions makes it more difficult and complicated. You end up having way too many variables to easily manage. I will say this about Javascript in captivate. It can be a debugging nightmare. There is just simply not enough debug support. Heck it doesn't even check syntax.

I'm sorry I took your saying "In Captivate no array is possible, so you are talking about Flash or JavaScript?" as implying that you cannot create an array in Captivate. Advanced actions are clunky, ugly, and difficult to use. I advise you learn just a little bit of Javascript, it'll make your life a lot easier. After all you're doing essentially the same thing with advanced actions that you are with Javascript, just a different syntax.

Captivate allows you to run javascript. It's one of the possible actions you can take on events, right above "Execute advanced actions" there's "Execute Javascript"

Im actually building something similar to that right now. At the first slide set up an array at the root level, this will be a boolean array the length of your quiz and fill it with zeros. This contains the data where we figure out if a slide has been answered correctly or not. If a slide is answered correctly it sets its corrosponding array slot to 1. If not it remains zero. The first action all slides take is to check if they are answered correctly. If they have already been answered correctly they are skipped. The final slide checks to see if all questions have been answered correclty. If yes, it continues. If no it starts over. Pretty simple.

Hi guys I have a piece of code that's not working I was hoping someone had any clue as to why, I've wasted too many hours trying to figure this out. Here's the code, explanation below. var objCP = document.Captivate; objCP.cpEISetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList", new Array(7)); objCP.cpEISetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList[0]", 1); objCP.cpEISetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList[1]", 2); objCP.cpEISetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList[2]", 1); objCP.cpEISetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList[3]", 2); objCP.cpEISetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList[4]", 1); objCP.cpEISetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList[5]", 2); var cat1Len = 0; var cat2Len = 0; for (var i=0;i<objCP.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList.length");i++){ var value = objCP.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList"); if (value == 1) {cat1Len++;} if (value) == 2) {cat2Len++;} alert(i); alert(objCP.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList[2]")); alert(value); } I'm attempting to create a list using a captivate variable I've created called "questionList". I fill questionList with data and and then use that data to count, in this instance with cat1Len and cat2Len. After that I attempt to verify that the data is being returned correctly with a series of alerts. Here's the problem: alert(i) correctly reports the number my incrementer should be at. alert(objCP.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.questionList[2]")) correctly reports the data in cell [2] of questionList but... alert(value) reports undefined. How can this be? I know that I can access array elements from inside this loop and I know that I my incrementer is at the correct location so what's the deal? Thanks for any help!
