Maybee I have missunderstod the function of the Failure / Succes button function. 
When I click the correct button the text box for succes show.
When I click the failure button nothing happens. But if I click anywhere outside the two buttons the failure message pops up?

Whats up with that?

    Indeed some misunderstanding. I will try to explain:

    • A button (interactive object) has two events:
    • Clicking the button is indicated as 'Success' event and will trigger the 'Success' action and show the Success message
    • Clicking outside of the button is indicated as 'Failure' event, will show the Failure message.
    • The Last Attempt action will be triggered when you have reached the last attempt which is a Failure. It will be missing when the attempts are set to Infinite.

     

    If  you want a Failure and a Success button, this would be the workflow:

    • Set both buttons to Infinite attempts, so that you get rid of the Last Attempt action
    • Use the Success message and the Success event of each button to do what you want.

    So let us just set aside all logic 🙂
    THe failure function is more used as a hotspotfunction then.

    Thatnk you for clearing it out 🙂

    A hotspot is also an interactive object. You can use an image, converted to button as hotspot.

    I never have seen a 'Failure button', sorry. This is the design of Captivate since the first version.  What did you expect, to me it is completely logical.
