Animate correct or incorrect caption in a drag and drop quiz.

Hello,

Just wonder can I animate the correct and incorrect caption on a quiz. I am creating a drag and drop quiz where the user drags an image and drops it onto a computer. If they get the wrong answer, the failure caption will read "Incorrect. Please try again. "

I would like the failure text to animate  using the animate text feature. Is it possible to create such a caption?

Thank you.

    You can use Effects to animate the Quiz feedback captions so that they fly in if you want.  Of all the Effect animations, I personally prefer the ones under Entrance > EaseInLeft/EaseInRight etc.  I think the default 2 second Effect Duration is way too long, so I always shorten that down to about 0.5 seconds.

    I understand that the Animated Text object was useful for simulating typed text, but if your intended output is going to be anything HTML5 then you cannot use it.  There isn't really a good, easy to use substitute available at the moment.

    The Text Animation object is not able to be used as a Quiz Question feedback caption.

    Another reason NOT to even try using it is that the Text Animation object is actually an SWF widget, and that means that it cannot be used in HTML5 or HTML5 Responsive courses.  So, like all other SWF components, it's time to leave this one out from now on.

    Hi Rod,

    Do you have another suggestion?

    Also, this presents another problem for me. I am working on another module and I've included animated text to show the learner what information they need to enter when filling a form. Is this going to be a problem for me also.

    Thanks.
