Hi!
I'm new using captivate, I did a simple project earlier, but now I'm working on something a little more complex.
For this project, 3 paths are available to the learners. They can only choose one of these.
These 3 paths are made up of 4 information slides and 4 question slides that alternate that way: Info, Quest, Info, Quest, Info, Quest, Info, Quest. What that means, is that there are 12 different information slides.
But what about the question slides? Do I have to make 12 too? Or can I make only 4 of them, and tell them to go, upon success, on a specific slide depending on what the previous slide was? (something like, if previous slide was number 1, upon success go to number 3 or if previous slide was number 9, upon success go to number 11 or if previous slide was number 17, upon success go to number 19)
Not sure to understand. This is what I get:
It is important to remain in the quiz scope. You don't tell what has to happen with a Failure on the question slides?
If you have three groups:
In that set up you
...You will need to create one user variable. Open Project, Variables. Click 'Add new'. Type 'v_slide' in the field Name. Click the Save button.
For the Next buttons: it is a simple action from the dropdown list in the Actions tab of the button. You can choose whatever type of button you like.
For the Expression action that is not possible, you need to:

In that set up you would need:
For slides 13-15, an advanced action On Enter which uses a user variable v_slide:
Expression v_slide = cpInfoLastVistedSlide +1
For the Success (and the Failure action):
Jump to v_slide
The last question slide (16) will be followed by the score slide and an end slide. Always use an extra slide after the results slide.

If it works, could you mark the answer as being correct?

I will when I try it. I'm not quite there yet, and I'm not familiar with variables and advanced actions.

I think you can do the rest which is not about advanced actions.

Sorry, one more question, can this work with random question slides?
I made the variable and I built the advanced action.
On the random question slide, I cannot say what the enter action is. I can only do that on the question slide that is in my question group that I imported with my csv file.
And I can only say what the success action is on the random question slide...
I did all that, but it doesn't work...

You forgot the most important information. This is the first time I hear that your question slides are random slides from a question pool. That is a totally different situation.
You need to apply the actions to ALL questions in the question pool, since you don't know which one will be appear for the learner. I hope that all the questions in that pool use the same content slide to navigate to or this will become a complete chaos.
Please offer full information when you ask a question. Have a look at this blog:
