Advanced Actions Help

Created a custom single choice quiz so that correct and incorrect feedback would pop up on individual slides.

This was suggested as a work around for captivate's quiz accessibility issue (the feedback is not read when a screen reader is on)

The set up I'm going for is depending on the correct or incorrect choice, the corresponding slide shows. I also wanted the user selected choice to be visible behind the feedback graphic. I've attempted this several times and the user's choice does not show when entering the correct or incorrect slide.-. I was hoping to make these shared actions.

What's the best way to do this?

Thanks!

You can re-use variables - just remember to reset to a default value on enter of a slide when necessary. For example, if there is a maximum number of user tries for something and a variable tracks the number of clicks (or other user actions), it would most likely have to be reset to zero on enter of a new exercise.

Okay, I will try that. Was trying to get the most efficient workflow.

Can you tell which version you are using? Complete number please, as shows up under Help, About Captivate.

How did you set up the 'selected' choice on the feedback slides? Can you show screenshots of the advanced actions? You have first to get them to work, before trying to convert to shared actions (which makes sense of course, I am a shared actions fan)

The version we have is 9.0.2.437

Attached are my images.

One for individual choice, one for submit button, one for feedback slide entry. I have individual variables for each choice. SCChoice1, SCChoice2, etc.

The first two actions work, the on entry action does not work. Thanks!

Please, is it possible to give a complete Preview of the conditional action? Use the Preview button, which is the first button on the top right control bar in the Advanced Actions dialog box. In your version it only is available for a conditional action, not for standard actions. It looks like a play arrow.


Also want to see the timelines, because I have no idea what the labels are pointing at.
