Question

Failure caption not appearing when using click box.

  I am using Captivate 9.  I have a slide in which I have created a non-graded True/False activity.  I have click boxes on each true/false option, with the settings for each to show either success or failure captions, depending on the answer.  The success captions are consistently appearing, but the failure ones are not.  I have the click boxes all arranged at the top and the display boxes/pause for success/failure options are checked.  Does anyone know why this is happening and how to solve it?

Here is a link of the slide in question:

    I think the easiest solution. Would be to either use the in built true false knowledge check feature of have two objects used as buttons that when clicked reveal one of two captions depending on which item you clicked.

    Also note that if you have Infinite Attempts selected for these Click Boxes then the Failure captions will never appear.

    I think you misunderstand the 'Failure caption' for an interactive object. That caption will appear when the user clicks outside of that object, the Success caption appears when clicking on the interactive object. If you have two click boxes, user clicks on one click box he is clicking outside of the other click box but the Success caption has priority, you'll not see the Failure caption of the other click box. Maybe I misunderstand your question. It would help if you post screenshots of the timeline, the stage and the setup of the click boxes, or explain what you want really to do. Just from the published course I cannot have all necessary information.

    I would have set this up with the radiobuttons interaction. I suspect that you have a 'click box' over each text 'True' and 'False'? In that scenario I would have used a shape button with the Text in it, instead of two objects (text + click box). If my suspicion is correct, you have to put your 'Failure' message as Success caption for the click box over the 'False' text.
