Hi! I'm new to Captivate and am trying to create a question and answer slide that will include four buttons for the user to choose from but requires selecting two of those four in order to advance to the next slide. In other words, in order to get the question right, two specific buttons must be chosen out of the four. It seems like drag and drop may be one way to achieve this (although to be honest I'm not sure if that is necessarily true) but I don't want the drag and drop feature. I simply want to use four smart shapes turned into button that will show a success message and advance when the correct two buttons are chosen. Please help!

Is it really necessary to do this with buttons? Why not use a Multiple Choice question with two correct answers? It can be a scored question or a Knowledge Check question.

I can explain how to do this with your shape buttons, but that means you'll need to create a counter variable and some advanced or shared actions. Are you familiar with variables and advanced/shared actions?

@Lilybiri, here is a screenshot of the slide I am working on with the buttons. I want the slide to advance after the two correct buttons have been selected. Ideally it would be great if they changed colors once selected so that the two correct buttons remain green, for example. And the wrong buttons are selected they will show up in red. It seemed as though with the Knowledge Check slide, I was limited to the format/design of the slide. Perhaps there is a way to use the same funcionality in the format I have created?

Sorry, I don't need a score for this particular slide. It is enough that it just shows the next button when the two choices have been selected but thanks for the link. I'll check out your blog.

Was not sure. But my intuition that you want to show the Next button after having clicked the two corect buttons was correct.

If you want to keep the Visited state for the buttons, even when the learner revisits the slide, you need to check the option 'Retain state....' in the Properties panel.

If you need more help... just ask.
