Question

Can I cause a Submit button to reveal another button in addition to its normal behavior?

I am very new to Captivate. I'm working on my 2nd project. It's a pretty simple project.

 

The internal customer wants several youtube videos where each video is followed by a few questions.

 

The requirements for the slides are:

  • Video has no player controls (once started, it must complete).
  • Questions are only Knowledge Check style questions (no scoring, ever).
  • User must answer questions before continuing
  • Reinforcing text is displayed based on selecting the right or wrong answer.
  • After the reinforcing text is displayed, user can move forward to next slide (more questions or another video).
  • Must be responsive

 

My results so far:

  • Fluid boxes seem to be working for responsiveness.
  • I have video part working (Next button appears at the end of the timeline).
  • I used Knowledge Check slides to create the question slides.
  • I have reinforcing text appearing correctly based on the answer, using the built-in Submit abilities (Correct answer and Failure Message) .
  • I'm stuck after the Submit button. The default behavior is that the user is supposed to 'click anywhere or press y'. This works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. If I click randomly, eventually it will move forward. Occasionally, the 'Y' will move forward.
  • To get around the above inconsistency I thought maybe I'd reveal a 'Next' or 'Continue' button when the Submit is pressed. But I still want the Submit to do it's correct/incorrect behavior that is built-in. I can't find a way to alter the Submit button. Actions seem to be available to other buttons, but not the Submit button.

 

How do I enable another button based on the Sumit button being pressed. I can't find that anywhere in properties.

 

Am I missing something obvious?

If the two-step Submit process is not working as expected, you may have deleted some embedded objects on the quiz slides. A quiz slide is not like a content slide, lot of functionality is built in those embedded objects. They do not have an individual timeline as you can see both on the quizzing master slides and on the Knowledge Check slides which are using those master slides.

I have written many blogs about quizzing, and tweaking quizzes. But in your case it looks like the normal workflow should be fine. Please answer my question about deleting Embedded objects.

Here two links to posts that may clarify:

And about the setup for quiz slides in a Fluid Boxes project:

Thank you for the response. I must say, I don't understand how I can delete objects I can't see. 

 

But, since I don't understand Captivate anyway, I will start from scratch and try to be very careful to ensure no steps could delete something I can't see. I will keep it as simple as I can and respond here whether or not the "...click anywhere or press y..." feature works consistently.

Embedded doesn't mean that you cannot delete them. You could have selected the object and delete it. Embedded means that it doesn't have an individual timeline, no ID. That was explained in the blog for which I gave you a link.
