captivate quiz question

Hi all,

I have this problem with Captivate 4 which I am starting to think has too many default settings that leave little scopr for alteration.

For example, I am making this quiz and if you look at the example image that I have included there are two screens A and B.

A is the part where you are actually doing the quiz

B is the part where you have done the quiz and going through all your answers to see how you have done.

On the first screen the buttons below (CLEAR, SKIP and SUBMIT) are obviously useful for submitting your answers and clearing any mistakes you have made and skipping difficult questions.

BUT when it comes to reviewing how well you have done, all I want is a BACK and FORWARD button at the bottom but Captivate doesn't give you that functionality/option. You still get the CLEAR, SKIP and SUBMIT buttons and you just use SKIP to go forward to see your answers etc.

I just think that this is too limited etc.

I did manage to change the default menu bar at the bottom to get rid of the audio button by finding the flash source code in the adobe captivate program files and re-publishing and I am hoping that there is some other flash source file that I can change!

I would really appreciate your help etc and I know that one user instructed me not to put a "blatantly obvious question" on these forums as at least 6 other guys put the same sort of thing on these boards and people were worried about these boards getting clogged up by the same question BUT my boss urgently needs some answer on this as we have both agreed that this is unacceptable!

I look forward to any advice.

Perhaps you could find some help about using special quiz widgets in this blog:

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have looked at the article under:-

http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/09/widgets_to_streamline_your_qui.html

And I have downloaded the widgets needed to hide the submit button in quizzes etc and then followed
the instructions etc, but after publishing they don’t seem to work and when I open the swf file in a browser
it just seems to be stuck on the first slide AND just flickers making a funny clicking sound.

What am I doing wrong?

Could you please help as I have an urgent project.

Thanks and regards

Keith

Hi - I have no help, but the same problem. But I have had this problem before. For some reason whenever I have a quiz with questions and I change the action script to 3, the project will always wig out on me. Let me know if you ever figure this one out!
