Drag and Drop

Hello,

I have few slides which use the Drag and Drop interactions and have following two questions.

1. Is it possible to show separate message for cases such that the user not selecting the answer (Choose an answer msg) and selecting the wrong answer (Incorrect answer msg).  It currently shows 'Incorrect Answer' msg for both cases.

2. One of the interaction slide I have is that user can select one out of four drag sources and there is a one drop target.  It currently allows user to select all four drag sources to target separately but within one try. Is there any way to prevent so that the user can only select one drag source at each try?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

    I don't clearly understand the first question because it is not referring to dragging but to selecting? Are you sure that is a D&D slide? If it is a D&D you'll have to replace the messages by custom text shapes and show/hide them based on Object actions. But I'll wait for your answer.

    Second problem: You can set up the drop target so that only one drag source can be dropped on it. You can allow also to replace that unique drag source. You didn't tell if there is a correct answer, if it is validated? To set up  the acceptance of only one drag source you need to select the drop target and use the button 'Object Actions' on the Format tab. In the dialog box, uncheck 'All' and set counter to 1.

    Hi Lilybiri,

    Thanks for the quick answer!

    1) Yes, it's a Drag and Drop slide.  I use custom Image Button to show 'Check answer' as 'Submit Button'.  Under the Actions tab, 'On Success' event, I set to show 'Correct Answer' image.  I set the 'That's incorrect for 'Failure_Caption.  ' This failure caption will be displayed when the user drag the wrong source to the target.  My issue is that when the user does not drag any source and click 'Check answer', it does show the same 'Failure_Caption'.  Is it possible to program to show different message if the user does not select the source at all.

    "Second problem: You can set up the drop target so that only one drag source can be dropped on it."

    Thank you!  Your suggestion worked!

    Many thanks to helping me so quickly!

    How many attempts to dyou have for the D&D? I'm aksing this because the so-called Failure action is in reality a Last Attempt action. It can be used in your case if you have only one Attempt. Need first an answer to that question.
