Question

Captivate 2019: Drag&Drop continues automatically ... random effect ...

Hi folks,

I´ve encountered a very strange behaviour in my drag&drop interactions ... which occured today for the very first time ever! I have four D&Ds in total, the some of them working perfectly and others proceed to the next slide after dragging one or two or three or four objects! I couldn´t fond out why or when, because the number of dragged objects after which the slide jumps to the next slide varies from time to time. All D&Ds are build the same way, contain a invisible button to stop all (a "feature" that´s quite disturbing, why can´t D&Ds pause like all other quiz pages and wait for a click and feedback??)

I´ve checked all Advanced Actiosn for a "continue", but none´s there, nowhere. So why does the D&D jump after dragging one or two or three or four objects?? Even if I create a new project and a new D&D interaction the same strange effect appears.

 

Thanks for any ideas for help ...

    Drag&Drop slides DO have a pausing point, but it is confusing that it is not showing up in the Timeline panel, not in the Timing Properties. You find the exact time (frame) of that pausing point in the Drag&Drop panel:

     

    You don't need to use a click box to pause the slide. It may be even disturbing the workflow.

    I would like to see the Timeline panel of your D&D slide, because I don't really understand what you mean by 'four D&Ds'. Besides the Submit actions which you find in the D&D panel, there are Object Actions. Did you use them? Have a look at this blog post:

    https://blog.lilybiri.com/drag-and-drop-actions

     

     

    You talk about 'Advanced actions'. Which events are triggering those actions, and can you show them (please Preview window in Advanced Actions). If you have several of them on the slide, show a screenshot of Advanced Interaction panel (F9) to identify the events and actions.

    Dear Lilybiri,

    I did use some actions, but I´m pretty sure they do not interfere with the standard behaviour of the Drag&drop slide - or as the standard behavoiur should be but isn`t.

     

    I´ll try to upload a file, otherwise I´ll supply a bunch of screenshots 😉

    Please provide screenshots, I don't want to download a project file.
