Question

HI, we have created a quiz. It works like this. Users answers a question, clicks submit, then gets an X or checkmark (correct/incorrect feedback). At this point, they must click anywhere to continue. I want a "next question" button to appear after the checkmark, so they can click the button to continue. is that possible? How? I don't like having to write the text "Click anywhere on the screen to go to the next question.

Thanks

Hello,

Since you can click anywhere on the slide to continue, you could just add a 'dummy' button  (image of a button) to the slide, if the user clicks that, he clicks the slide and the second step will be executed  (Pass/Fail actions). Adapt the message about clicking the slide, and tell to click the button.

thanks for your suggestion. The ony problem with the "dummy" button is that people might click on it thinking it goes to the next slide when it does not. We removed the "skip" option from the quiz so they can only advance after they have answered the question and received feedback. We tried making the dummy button appear along with the feedback using the hide/show command but that does not work. With that technique, the dummy button appears after you click anywhere on the slide, which is not what we want.

Any other suggestions?

It is not a good idea to remove the skip button, because it doubles as Next button during review. Do you have the Clear button? If yes, drag the Skip button under the Clear button it is stacked lower. Once the user is in Review mode, the Clear button has disappeared and the Skip button - you can change its Text to Next - is again available because visible. When a button is under another button it loses its functionality, so the Skip will not be available during an attempt.

Think you'd better have a look at my blog post about tweaking question slides:

Question Question Slides in Captivate

If you are willing to create your own feedback captions you could skip the first step (with the default Success/Failure captions) and insert a static button widget to appear when the feedback appears to pause the slide. If you are using CP5.5 you'll need to download this widget from another blog post:
