Hi there I do not have ProRes as a codec option. I recently installed the latest version of AFX. Codec is not there in the AME either. What could be the reason? Thanks in advance Bobby

thanks Lieve this may work in my case. Would I be able to reset the quiz slide on revisiting if necessary?

That is ok. I can use an actual quiz question. It is a long theory module and i do not use anything out of the box so using one quiz question would be ok. I have initially used drag and drop interaction but there is non way to have the wrong answers that the user gave immediately on the screen. I can show the correct answers - shoot an image or caption to show the correct answers but this would not show the incorrect answers...

thank you Lieve, as mentioned to Rod, i need to have the incorrect answers shown immediately. Just think about how one sees them when reviewing the quiz. Something like this - please see image

Thanks Rod what I have is 6 pairs that need to be matched. What the content owner would like is that the user sees which of the answers given was not correct. For instance, 4 of the pairs were matched correctly but 2 were not. So the idea is to see what two answers were incorrect. Thanks B

Hi there, I use Captivate 2019 and have one Matching KC question. When the user gives incorrect answers I would like to have the correct answers shown immediately. Is that possible at all? I export HTML 5. Thank you Bobby PS. I am ready to do a drag and drop interaction to do the same but would need immediate feedback telling the user which of the answers was correct and which was incorrect.

Thanks Lieve, but in a non-responsive HTML5 format this would not work. I changed all the colours in the theme colour palette. The drop down letter cant be changed... Thanks

Hi there, how can one change the colour of the letters in a matching question? I have changed the colour of the text to dark grey but the letters still stay very light grey. Thank you in advance Bobby

Thanks for your input Paul. On a theoretical level, if the new wheel turns faster than the old one I would prefer to reinvent it. On a more practical level, your suggestion absolutely makes sense, but as I mentioned already, I cannot format the tick-boxes the way I want + cannot include a link as part of an answer. Also I am not even going to dig into the limitations of the stacking of objects on a quiz slide. If you could propose a way to do this (see image) with the out of the box KC slide, I will totally agree with you that the tool should not be "reinvented". Thanks again B

Thanks for jumping in, chrismay. I wish I had the more advanced level to do that. So basically I need to create a variable that will track if all are correct, e.g. var completedCorrectly which will be by default false. Do I have to create a variable for each of the questions (each line)? Where should I put them. Not really good with the JS I am afraid. Trying to do my first steps. Thanks again B

Thanks, I believe you Lieve, but these are not solutions for my needs. What I showed you was a sample I made for a few seconds just to show you the most obvious limitations of the out of the box KC slides. It was not a real example. You did not give me alternative to reproduce it with the out of the box tools, so I guess the answer is no. One cannot make any easy tweaks on how the out of the box checkbox or a radio button look like. The underlying point here is that most developers prepare a design and want to stick to it. They do not want to adjust their design to the limited looking out of the box options. JS opens a whole new line of possibilities in Captivate, but one should learn at least the basics... This is why I am asking questions and gladly share what I have found out to work for me. And to give again an example - this is solution based on JS that does not require variables or tracking them. And saves time. It changes my life when dealing with states that need to be visited. Content Holder and Next Button

Thanks Lieve, I do not use responsive projects. I can have tens of scenarios/questions in a project. I have done this with Shared Actions. I estimate that doing it with JS will be much faster. It is also about time efficiency. Also, in terms of formatting, lets get a practical example. The one on the left is out of the box list of answers, the one on the right is a custom list of answers. Is it possible to get to what I have on the right with the out of the box solution? Would be good to learn if possible. Thanks

Hi there, I am trying to make a custom quiz from what Steve Warrick has prososed as a solution here: Creating a custom question slide with True/False options - eLearning I don't want to use the reporting and would not need to have a quiz result slide. The goal is to have a custom knowledge check slide without recording the results. The user would reply correctly and a green smart shape would show, if the user replies incorrectly then a red smart shape would show. There are two questions. Here is a screenshot of the names too. One can think of it as a multiple choice - multiple response question. The user must give correct answer to both questions. Only then the green shape should be shown. If there is only one correct answer, the red shape should be shown. On enter I use this bit $('div[id^="Question"].cp-frameset').on("click", manageButtons ); function manageButtons(e) { var target = e.target.id ; var trueind = /_T_/; var falseind = /_F_/; var invTarget = (target.match(trueind) && target.replace(trueind,"_F_") ) || (target.match(falseind) && target.replace(falseind,"_T_") ); cp.changeState(target, "selected"); cp.changeState(invTarget, "Normal"); } cp.hide("ss_Correct"); cp.hide("ss_Incorrect"); Attached to the Submit button I use this bit theAnswers = { "Answer_10" : "Question_T_10", "Answer_11" : "Question_F_11", } for (answer in theAnswers) { rightAnswer = theAnswers[answer] theState = cp.getCurrentStateNameForSlideItem(rightAnswer); if (theState != "Normal" ) {cp.show("ss_Correct"); cp.hide("ss_Incorrect"); } else { cp.show("ss_Incorrect"); cp.hide("ss_Correct"); } } The issue is that it seems that only the second question is taken into account. Even if I give wrong answer to the first question but correct to the second, I still get the correct shape. Would anyone have a look please? Thanks in advance Bobby

For the record, I found a way to do that. I have this situation so often that hopefully this will help others too. It can save literally hours. This is a way to check what state is an object with JS. There is no need to create variables and to track. Example. You have three shape buttons and three states of container object. The third shape has to be clicked before the Next button appears. Here is the JS script, i.e. the third state of the container has to appear for the next button to appear too. theState = cp.getCurrentStateNameForSlideItem("container_Post"); if (window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("theState")==="Three") { cp.show("btn_Next"); } container_Post - the name of the object with three states. btn_Next - the hidden next button. theState - a variable that takes the value of the state of a container. Three - the name of the third state of the object If the state of the container is Three, then variable theState is also Three. In that case the button Next is shown. Cheers B

A breeze. Let me give you an example why would I use the JS You have 6 smart shape buttons and a smart shape container with 6 states. When you click on button one the container changes to state 1, when you click on button two the container changes to state 2, etc. Now, in one of the states there is not only text but also a hyperlink. This is easy with JS. I can have a clickbox hidden onenter and then show the box when the user clicks the respective button. Shared actions would not work since there will be an additional condition for only this particular button. Advanced actions for each is not an option. Too heavy

Well, I would use it OnEnter To disable a number of objects To hide the next button OnClick of buttons To show a container object Change the state of a container object Change the state of the clicked object So it adds up to the bill. Doing this in an action is choosing every time a dropdown etc while in the JS code I substitue the names of the object Thanks Lieve

Thanks Lieve, it is easier for me to type/correct the lines in the JS code. But my question would rather be - is there any difference in terms of weight of the project? I guess using 50 JS codes for OnEnter instead of 50 Advanced actions would be lighter? I know you would say to use Shared actions and I do that but the questions is rather if JS adds to the weight ... Thanks

Hi there I would like to hear opinions about the advantages and disadvantages of using JS vs Advanced/Shared actions. It is not about Shared vs Advanced where Shared should always be preferred when possible. It is about the implications of using JS instead of Advanced actions. For me, it is easier to use the JS since I can type faster but would be good to hear thoughts. I am using a number of commands like cp.changeState cp.SubmitInteractions cp.enable/disable cp.hide/show cp.clickHandler I know JS is quite comprehensive but what other "basic" ones are there? Thanks in advance.Bobby PS. In other words, why would I use the left one and not the right one?

Thanks again Rod All that makes sense. I think I will go through the module and see what can be adjusted according to the points listed by you and Lieve above. Immediate things that I see are - Check if there are any images that are resized in Captivate - Put a previous button on a Master slide PS. BTW is there a way to check the resized images and see which ones are actually resized in the project? Somewhere in the js files?

Thanks Rod I use buttons and shapes on Master slides regularly but for this particular project I have many cartoon bubbles with a Continue/Next button close to them. Also, I have buttons that are customised smart shapes when the user should click on an object. I have quite a few next buttons that are "standard" and appear at the bottom right corner but they would appear only if a particular condition or timeline has been reached. All this cannot be done in a master slide I am afraid. This said, I guess I can at least use master slide with the Previous button on it. For the slides that do not have the Previous button jumping back to a particular slide and not to the Previous slide, that is... Thank you for pointing out about the limitation. After all these years with Captivate and Storyline my absolute credo is that one should create several smaller projects and have them as separate modules instead of having one big one ... For this one we have a nice overview of a bunch of offices as a menu and the user would "fly in" them one by one and complete them. Maybe that is why I decided to have one module.

1. Video. I had 7-8 intros of about 1 MB but due to issues I replaced them with sequences of images. So I have about 12 jpeg small images that create the illusion of movement. We did amazing offices in Blender and 5 sec videos but I have issues with the LMS or just the IT security. I really have no time to dig deeper so I am using a set of images to create the movement. 2. Audio. No audio 3. SVG for icons. I use quite a few icons but as PNGs. Why is that a good idea - to use SVG instead of PNG? The vector file can be exported in any size. What if I have the SVG icon with 20x20 and then need to have the image in Captivate at 50x50. Resizing in Captivate would not add to the weight? 4. Shared actions. Agreed. I try to use them a lot whenever possible. 5. Resizing. A good point. I am aware but should recheck the whole course. There will be images that are not used with their original size but are resized in Captivate. Lastly, since I have you online, would you please confirm where one should change the background of the webpage that loads? I think it is in the Skin editor and I have set it to black, but when I review the project it is grey. What i mean - the parts on the sides of the project are grey. Thanks again Lieve
