Is it possible in a quiz, upon answering a question correctly, for the user to use an arrow to proceed instead of the "correct - click anywhere or press 'y' to continue"?

You didn't specify that the arrow should only appear after they clicked the Submit button. I explained several possible tweaks in this blog post:

Can you please explain clearly what you want. I offered you an easy fix to enable the user to click on an arrow instead of clicking on the slide, but that seems not to be what you want. Please!

As I have mentioned multiple times, Quiz slides have very strict rules, if you want to change anything you need to have a good knowledge of the normal work flow, advanced/shared actions and sometimes variables.

Consider keeping the "or click 'y'" reference in your captions for accessibility purposes. Certain persons with disabilities don't use a mouse so you need to consider their needs.

Just cheat a little bit: since clicking on the slide is doing the second step in the Submit process, put an image of the arrow on the slide, not an interactive arrow. When the user clicks on the arrow, he clicks on the slide. Be careful: if you want HTML5 output you'll have to check, because sometimes covering an interactive object with a static object (arrow) will take away the interactivity of the object (which is the slide in this case). You can also draw an arrow with a transparent fill (there are several arrow shapes).

Ok, I set the quiz slides to "show" my arrow upon success, but the problem is that when the successful answer is achieved, you still need to click for the arrow to appear. Any fix?
