Adobe Captivate drag and drop does not work

Question

Hello,

I have tried the whole day getting one simple drag and drop interaction with Adobe Captivate.

I have 5 drag sources and one drop area.

There is just ONE correct answer - this is the only one I have allowed under the right-Answer-assistance

for the drop-zone. All the others are false.

All the others were also selected es Drag-Targets but not accepted for the drag area throughout the

Dropzone -right-answer-assistant.

Ive also added effects:

1) right answer next page

2) incorrect answer an alpha effect.

After watching it as html-file in the browser - it allowed all figures getting into the drop zone.

What can be the reason why?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

You are probably using a non-English version, I try to understand your question but it is not easy. Can you also specify which version (exact number) you are using?

You did indicate the correct answer under the Correct Answer button which you find in the Options tab.

However if you want the drag sources that are wrongly dropped on the target to be returned to their original position, you need another dialog box. Select the drop target, in the Format tab of its Properties panel, click on the button 'Object Actions'. This setup will send back all drag sources that are not correct:

I don't understand what you mean by 'Effects' however. You have a Success event, which can trigger an (advanced) action and a Last Attempt event (wrongly labeled as Failure event) which can trigger another action. What do you want to do?
