Drag and drop interaction - make objects disappear on reset

[sarahamy_96]

Hi everyone. Could you please give your advice on this:

I'm building a drag and drop interaction where learners need to drag an object A which then disappears and an object B appears instead. I can do this bit. The problem is that when learners press 'undo' or 'reset' the drag targets get back to their original positions but objects B don't disappear. I'm not sure if I can rethink the principle of this activity or make these objects disappear somehow?

Any advice?

Thank you

Hi Irina,

on the reset button you can add the Action "Hide" (easier if the object is named in the Properties Panel)

it also sounds like the reset button will have to perform a bunch of actions, so you can use Advanced Actions to add a bunch of actions to the same button.

Hope that helps!

Cheers!

The Reset button in the D&D slides is an embedded object with functionality. Embedded because it has no individual timeline, you can just check to have it or not. That also means that you cannot access the action performed by that button (which cannot have a name neither) from within Captivate. Maybe it is possible with JS, but cannot help you with that.

I suspect you are using the Object action to show that object B?

If that D&D slide is not defined as a scored slide, to be included in a quiz total, you can totally reset the D&D by re-entering the slide. Is it a scored slide?
