Question

Drag n Drop with custom Feedback-overlays after each correct drop

Hey Captivate Community.

I am building a drag n drop but run into the same issue.

I want to build a drag n drop exercise where:

- you drag elements into an area that contains more than one dragged element eventually

- your dragged elements snap back when not dropped into correct target

- you advance to the next slide once, and only when, you dropped each element correctly.

- a feedback text (consisting of grouped objects, one textfield and one button) for each drag-element is shown after you drop that element correctly.

- Therefore I assigned an object action that shows that feedback text (group)

So far so good. What causes troubles is the last feature:

- Once you click the button inside that feedback group, however, instead of hiding the feedback text (what it is supposed to do), it advances to the next slide even though the exercise is not finished yet. I double checked: the button triggers the action "hide" (Feedback group).

I'm sure it's just a detail but I can not find it.

Thanks in adavance.

Best regards, STephan

Problem Update:

Matter of facts the same behaviour is triggerdwith any overlay show/hide combination even if not an object action within the drag and drop

Was not available in that old version, sorry. It is so important to mention the version you are using. When that is not the case, I suppose users are using the most recent verrions or perhaps one version back, but not a version that is that old.

You should post which action is triggered exactly as object action: simple, advanced or shared?.


Thank you for your swift replies.

well, I made sure that each component is named differently. Still I run into issues.

maybe It’s because I copy the feedback overlays and just change the actions executed on the button that is part of the feedback group.

On the other hand it would be impossible to re-create each feedback overlay 28 times if copying them is not possible ...

any other tips than shared actions?
