Drag and drop captions

Hi

I have created a drag and drop slide with three options for the select. One is the correct answer and the other two incorrect.

I currently have an incorrect caption and a caption for the correct response. The customer wants to add specific text for the incorrect captions, so Is it possible to have two incorrect captions linked to specific answers and if so how do you do this?

Thanks in advance

Eddie

Are you used to create advanced actions? Have a look at this related blog post:

Custom Failure Messages/Attempts - Drag&Drop - Captivate blog

The idea is not to use the default feedback Failure message, but to create originally hidden text containers, and use the Object actions to show the appropriate Text when a drop action is done. That would happen immediately after the drop action. If you want it to happen only after the Submit button is clicked, you have to use the object action to track the answer, and use a conditional action triggered by the Failure event. Beware: that Failure event only occurs after the last attempt. Did you preview multiple attempts? Is the D&D scored or not?

    Thank you for the reply.

    I have used advanced actions before, but they have probably been relatively simple in  respect of what they can do.

    The D&D is not scored, its just a 'test' slide for the learner partway through the section of learning. I have managed to use the objects actions to get specific captions for the incorrect items to appear which is great! However the message remains when I click the reset button to allow the user to have a go.

    I also looked at using the state view but as the size of the object is locked the message I want to show won't fit in there sadly.

    I would use the On Enter event of the slide to hide all text containers (easier if you group them).

    You didn't answer my question about attempts? I would force a re-enter with the Failure action, that will reset everything (since it is a KC slide) and the On Enter action will be done as well, which will hide all text. Force re-enter can be done with the second scenario described in this blog post:

    Replay (slide) Button - Captivate blog

    Another approach to that scenario is to insert a short dummy slide (0,1sec) before the D&D slide. The action to be done is then 'Go to Previous Slide'.
