Drag and Drop Advancing

  • April 4, 2018

I am building multiple drag and drop interactions in one captivate project. When I am testing my project, the project is advancing too soon. It mainly happens when I re set the objects on the screen, then attempt to re drag the source it advances to the next slide as success. Any suggestions?

Also, I am using a drag source that changes states once it has been dropped, is there a way to re set it to the normal state if the user selects re set for the slide? Could this be causing an issue?

    Correct answer Lilybiri

    You have to unchekd Continue Project or the playhead will be released.

    As I explained before, the Failure action will never be done if you hae Inffinite attempts.  The term is not correct, because it is a Last Attempt action, but with Infinite attempts tere will never be a last attempt.

    Howeber I don't understand with that setup why you score the question, since the learner will neve  be able to advance ubtil the question has been correctly answered. This is just the 'professor' (my previous career) talking.

    You have to mark the most appropriate answer as being 'correct'. That answer will  appear on top of the thread, which makes it easier for other users to see the answer that helped solving the pronlem.

    Unchecking the continue project seems to have done the trick, it must not have worked before because of the buggy older version! Thank you for your help!!!

    As far as the scoring, I originally had it set up differently to where they could drag in correct answers to the drop targets, but once I began having issues I tried all different types of options and ended up liking the drag sources snapping back better, so I will remove the scoring at this point since it is pointless lol

    I set the corrects answers in that tab, I left as combination

    I left success as continue

    Then Failure set to no action since I am having the incorrect drag sources snap back

    I left the continue playing project checked also, I have tried to un check it as well to see if that would make a difference

    Just updated, thank you for that!

    I set up each drag target to have one correct answer. I have one object action on each screen, where the object changes state once it is dropped to the target

    Correct answer is found on the Options tab of the D&D slide, is a combinaion or a sequence?

    Did you leave the Success action to the default 'Contineu'?

    As for Object actions, if it is a simple 'Change State' action, did you uncheck the option 'Continue Playing the Project'?

    Please upgrade ASAP to 9.0.2.437! You are still on the first version of 9 which was pretty buggy.

    You have infinite attempts, whch means you have only the Success eevnt as action. Did you set up any object actions? How many correct answers do you have?

    I am using Captivate 9. When I preview the project inside Captivate everything functions properly. When I preview HTML5 or publish HTML5 as soon the interaction advances to the next slide mid interaction even if correct answers are not set. I have tried auto submit correct answers and sliding the submit button out of the slide, I have tried removing the undo and reset, and I have tried infinite attempts. Right now I have it set up for infinite attempts and auto submit answers and it works flawlessly in Captivate preview and that's how I hope for it to work in HTML5

    Please tell me the exact versiobn number. You should be on the most recent version which is 9.0.2.437.

    If this is a non-responsive project, the only peview method which generates temporary HTML output is Preview HTML in Browser (F11), the other Prevew methods are all usig Flash output. If your slide is not playing properly with F11 somethibg is not set up correctly.

    I asked if you did set up the slide as Knowledge Check or as Question slide (with score)?

    Lot more information is needed to try to help you. Which versiobb are you using (exact number please)? Did you set up the D&D slide as Knowledge Check or as Question slide?

    A D&D slide typically pauses at 1,5secs, check in the Timing panel. You don't see that pausing point in the timeline however. As long as the Submit button is not pressed,  When it is pressed, like for quiz slides the result can be different:

    • If you have multiple attempts, the user can try again, probably after resetting the slide with the Reset button.
    • If attempts are exhausted or you have only one attempt, answer was validated and correctly done, the action On Success will be executed. Its default command (which you can change) is Continue
    • If attempts are exhausted or you have only one attempt, answer was validated and wrongly done, the action On Failure (should be labeled 'Last Attempt')  will be executed. Its default command (which you can change) is Continue

    I don't know if you used the Object actions, because they can override this default behavior.
