Next and submit buttons - question slides

Hi all

I see some problems using with the following buttons on question slides provided with Adobe Captivate 6.0, and send it.

Desired behavior Actual behavior (out of the Box)

Entering the slide

(Behavior at the entrance of the cylinder head is OK)

  • Next button is disabled (grayed out)
  • Introduce the button is enabled
  • "Back" button is disabled

(The same as the desired behavior)

  • Next button is disabled (grayed out)
  • Introduce the button is enabled
  • "Back" button is disabled
On the presentation of a correct answer
  • Next button is active
  • Introduce the button is disabled (grayed out)
  • "Back" button is enabled
  • The user should click on 'Next' to continue, or click 'Back' to return to the previous slide.
  • Next button is disabled (greyed out) [ISSUE 1]
  • Submit button is activated (standard color) [issue 2]
  • "Back" button is enabled
  • The user must "click anywhere" to move forward (full page of hand cursorover). This means, if the user tries to click on return they will go to the Next is not the previous slide
. [Issue 3]On revisiting a question slide (screening)
  • Next button is enabled
  • Introduce the button is disabled (grayed) or invisible
  • "Back" button is enabled
  • The user should click on 'Next' to continue, or click 'Back' to return to the previous slide.
  • Next button is enabled
  • Submit button is activated (standard color)-, but does nothing to click [issue 4]
  • "Back" button is enabled
  • The user should click on 'Next' to continue, or click 'Back' if they wish to return to the previous slide.
On revisiting a question (for review) slide
  • Next button is enabled
  • Button "submit" is disabled (grayed) or invisible
  • "Back" button is enabled
  • The user should click on 'Next' to continue, or click 'Back' to return to the previous slide.
  • 'Back' button on questions 1 to be disabled or invisible or take the user back in the contents page.
  • Next button is enabled
  • Introduce the button is disabled (grayed) or invisible
  • "Back" button is enabled
  • The user should click on 'Next' to continue, or click 'Back' to return to the previous slide.
  • The 'back button ' on Question 1 is activated and directs the user to the previous content that is confused page. [issue 5]

Issues related to the:

  1. Are there settings that are the origin of this undesirable behaviour?
  2. Or, is it possible to bypass them? It seems a lot of work to have to rebuild the behavior of quiz!
    1. Problem 1: I could create a custom button 'Next', but I can't see any sort of hook in the submission process to trigger it to be enabled / disabled.
    2. Issues 2 and 4: I could create a custom of 'Submit' button but I don't see what measures to trigger to submit the quiz question.
    3. Problem 3: I do not see boxes click to remove or settings to change, to stop the behavior "click anywhere.
    4. Problem 5: I worked around this by creating my own back for Question 1 only button and hide when they review the quiz.

Any suggestion would be great!

Thank you

Sarah.

Hi Lilybiri

Thanks for the links to your blog, as always very useful!

I understand the hesitation when seeing convoluted questions on this forum, but I encourage you and others to try to remedy. Otherwise, the forum is pretty useless if it only meets the "simple" questions I tried to unzip the problem so that the expected and actual results were clear.

I have now overcome problems 1, 2, 3 and 4 as follows:

  • Make the button submit transparent and placed a SmartShape resembling to the button send behind it.
  • Removed the success message, so that the action on the success is called immediately by clicking on Submit
  • Call a tip for the successful event Action. This action:
    • Displays the revision message (success)
    • Hide the submit button
    • Jumps to the next slide and then return to the current slide (this ensures that the buttons next and previous are enabled correctly)
    • Calls a Javascript function to pause the slide.
  • Apply the same to all my slides in question... * sigh *.

I had already worked around 5 problem according to my original post.

Again, I want to express some frustration that there are so many workarounds to get training to watch 100%. For example, in one of your tutorials there is a transparent button and once I knew how the workaround has been applied, I put my mouse over it the space where the button was and saw the hand icon. While if you think that users don't notice, I assure you that when the courses are distributed to a few hundred people these things don't go unnoticed! The effort to build workarounds is worsened by having restrictions on question slides that do not apply to other slides, which for example not being able to add a button and having to use a SmartShape (which does not reuse the button styles), etc. That means trying several solutions workaround until you can find one where all the workaround steps are feasible and you can get a perfect result.

In any case, I'll mark this message as answered and call it a day (I have another question about styling SmartShapes used as buttons but post it separately) =)

Thank you

Sarah.

  • Text input focus and submit button - issue 8 slides-Captivate

    Hello

    I created a series of short answer to a quiz questions using a pool question I want the questions randomly each time for the learner. How do you define the development of the slide at the entrance area of text (where the cursor is so they can start typing) on a question slide? I also want them to be able to submit the question by pressing enter, do not click on Submit. I know how to do this using a box of text entry in a standard slide, but as I want to be able to get the user to give random issues I need to be in a pool of question. Can someone help me with how to do it?

    Either: set focus to an input field text and have it onkeyenter for the Send button

    Or: replicate a pool question using standard slides, so I can have random questions generated for users (for example, 5 questions chosen at random from a set of 10).

    Edited to add: I'm happy to use advanced actions and java scripts etc if need be

    Thank you

    JO

    You can select the button submit to a question slide and set the ENTER key as a shortcut key.  This will allow to the learner to submit the question slide by pressing the ENTER key.

    Captivate does not have the ability to configure short answer question slides in order to put the cursor in the text field when the question slide enters the timeline.

    You can add standard slides to a Question Pool.  That the real question slides can be randomized in this way.  Captivate also does not provide by default sort stocks advanced to randomize the navigation to a subset of standard slides.  There may be a way to make the randomization of the navigation of the blade with JavaScript, but I can't help you with that.

  • Out of reactive HTML5: missing the 'next' and 'back' buttons on the pop-up windows that have been converted into hyperlinks dishes

    I use a 30 day trial of Robohelp 2015 to test. I opened a Robohelp projected created in 10, let HR to update and generated a reactive power of HTML5. Then the output, I selected "Convert popups AutoSize and custom linking size" and 'convert popups only of the text into hyperlinks' tab optimization, everything seems to work fine, except that in the popups converted to hypertext links, the 'next' and 'back' buttons disappeared. (these buttons are present in all the other subjects) I also added bread crumbs by adding a placeholder on the main page of the project, and the breadcrumbs not appear in these subjects, either.

    Anyone know what might be happening and how to fix it? 1 million thanks!

    Dawn

    Hi Dawn

    The back and next buttons are normally related to a sequence to browse. As these are topics of popup, has no way for them to be part of a sequence to browse, so no buttons would be added.

    If you want the buttons, you must manually delete the links to popup, then create topics with the same content. Then ensure that they are part of the sequence to browse.

  • RH11. Script to make the Next and Prev buttons to work as they do in a standard browser?

    Hello.

    I know the arrows to next and previous button in the navigation pane to take the user to the next or previous section specified in the sequence of browser. This means that the help author has design one or more sequences of navigation, which can be long and difficult to maintain.

    Someone at - he created a script, or know if there is, who can transform the Next and Prev buttons buttons that perform standard browser actions. For example:

    • The user opens the A section.
    • The user opens the topic J.
    • User presses the back button.
    • Help opens the A section.

    At the moment the results depend on the navigation sequence.

    • The user opens the A section.
    • The user opens the topic J.
    • User presses the back button.
    • Help opens the topic I have (the subject which precedes the subject J in the sequence to browse).

  • Next and Previous buttons do not work in a Blu - ray writer

    I use Encore 5 and have created a blu ray player. In reminder, the when I preview the disc I see that all my menu navigations work fine, all my links of chapter work very well and once I start to play a chapter, the buttons previous and following in the preview screen work very well also, navigate to the next or previous chapeter as appropriate.

    Then, I created a disk image and it burned to a BD - RE disc to test on my PS3. The disc turn and play very well on the PS3, except for the buttons next and previoud. Click on the next button, I get the message "this operation is not allowed. Click on the back button, I am stuck at the beginning of the current chapter, but he never goes to the previous chapter.

    Still, I have a unique schedule containing a minute 15 film (m2v). I create 4 chapters in the film by inserting the points of capture and tied the end of each chapter at the beginning of the next. My first takes place at the beginning of the film, and all my menu buttons are linked to the chapters.

    What should I do to make sure that the next and previous buttons work in a Blu - ray player? Is this a bug in the software?

    Thank you

    linked the end of each chapter at the beginning of the next.

    Why you do this? The typical method is not end these actions and the timeline plays through a different method is used to read the individual chapters, if you need to play alone and return to a menu. But if you want to play the next chapter, simply do nothing.

    The menu is a regular menu or a popup? I understand that the first piece is your timeline.

    For the record, I do not think that relevant here, but added CS6 bluray chapter playlist.

  • 'Next' and 'previous button '?

    Hello

    Is there a way to create a next and previous button action without having to code each button (set of State transition, while in the State)?  I know that this is possible in Flash, but I use catalyst right now because it's so convenient.

    Thank you

    Doug

    Within Flash Catalyst no there is no concept of variables in Flash Catalyst. This would be something you could add via ActionScript and using Flash Builder.

  • Issue using 'Next' and 'Back' buttons on a slide.

    I have 4 paragraphs I want to display on a single slide. To progress, the player selects the button "next". Each paragraph has a 'Next' and a 'Back' button to allow the reader to go any direction and read or reread the material. Once selected the last button 'Next' button 'Continue' ('Let's Take a Closer Look") is set to appear. The "Continue" button should be the only button that allows the reader to go to the next slide. However, once the buttons 'Next' have been selected several times, the blade continues to work and goes to the next slide. Each button Advanced assigned Actions. I can download these images as well. Because now I downloaded an image of Action Advanced 'Next' button and a 'return' image of the Advanced Action button you can see how I course set up.

    Hello

    Have a working example. I created four containers of text T_one, T_Two, T_three, T_Four and grouped in Gr_T.

    Created a v_track variable user, with an initial value of 1 (because the first text is visible when starting)

    Created Bt_Next (visible) and Bt_Back (initially invisible) buttons with a break point at 1.5 sec (later will be for you if you want to first allows you to hear the audio clip).

    Created the Bt_Cont (invisible) button with a break at 2 sec (later than the other two).

    Here is the chronology:

    For the next button, created a conditional action advanced with three decisions. Here's the first, which must be the first (logical) decision and when the third legend is visible, v_track = 3:

    You can send me a private message with an email address if you want to see the others.

  • 'Forward' and 'Submit' buttons in Quiz confusion

    Hi all

    Recently, I created course in Captivate with little Quiz at the end.

    And now, I received the comment by the user, but actually not sure how I can solve this problem.

    In fact, what he writes, is that he inadvertently used the "Forward" button / the appearance of the player instead of 'submit' to all questions, so in the quiz results, he scored 0%, and that's why to return back and redone the test again once, which was counted as 2 attempts. His question is: is it possible that you can bind these two buttons as well as others don't make the same mistake?

    Before the test, I also provided a slide with instructions which, after having chosen the answer user must submit to see the legend as your comments, but to navigate to other slides - next button.

    This is why I don't really understand how to adapt my classes to this comment by the user. Because the buttons 'Next' and 'Send' can completely separate functions.

    Maybe there is a possibility to freeze the Forward button (don't let don't not to go to the next slide), until the user has not confirmed the answer with the "submit" button?

    PS: if I understand it, "You must answer the question before you continue" legend works only when the user click on send selected unanswered.

    Please, suggest...

    Thank you!

    I recommend especially to hide the PlayBar during a quiz, just to avoid this kind of problems. You don't say which version are you using? Captivate the 6 and 7 have an option in Quiz preferences to hide the PlayBar during quiz.

  • Modification of the functionality of the buttons questions slides

    Is it possible to change the features of default buttons in question as the MCQ, DND slide? When I open the content slides masters I don't see action attached to these buttons.

    Have about 20 articles on creating question slides, using objects, interactions, widgets, advanced/shared of actions and variables. So the answer is Yes. To reuse you could create a template with these slides with built-in placeholders. If you use only SWF output you can create question widgets.

    And there is no source code for the Send button.

    Themes can be created (you're so new to Captivate?): it's styles object, master slides, editor of the skin. If you want a sensitive topic to start with one of the available themes and do the editing of a sensitive project.

  • Edge Animate, create 'Next' and 'Back' buttons as the current position

    Hey everybody,

    I'm doing something fairly simple but I could use some help to make it work and couldn't find there examples... This is all I'm doing.

    I have animations along a timeline with labels and breakpoints for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  I want to create a simple buttons "Back" and "Next" that will get your current label and play forward or backward to the next or previous / position of the label.  Logically, my attempt to show what it looks like in the text:

    Back to 1-2-3-4-5 next

    And that's all, I know that someone must have done this or knows how, any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi, I'm new on adobe, I received Friday but I made a slideshow with front and rear buttons, I don't know if this is the best way to do if however I could make it work. what you need to do is create the div for your buttun that select and go top left stocks open {}. Select on click and enter a similar code.

    for the back button:

    var pos = sym.getPosition () / / this is a numeric variable that gets the current time in the animation of sound in milliseconds to a second it will have a value of 1000 to two seconds 2000 and so on

    If (pos<=>

    SYM. Play('5'); If the statement is checked to see which slide that contains animation on, if it is in the first slide, it will play the beginning of the last slide

    }

    ElseIf (pos<=>

    SYM. Play('1'); If it's on the second slide, it will play the beginning of the first slide

    }

    ElseIf (pos<=>

    SYM. Play('2');  If it's in the third slide, it will play the beginning of the second slide

    }

    ElseIf (pos<=>

    SYM. Play('3');  If it's the fourth slide, it will play the beginning of the third blade

    }

    else {}

    SYM. Play('1');

    }

    for the next button, it's the same concept just opposite

    I hope that's what you mean and I don't know if this is the optimal way to do, I'm brand new on adobe, but that's what I got.

  • Signature field and submit button does not

    I've recently upgraded to LiveCycle Designer ES2 and problems with certain features.  I created a form with 3 fields of signature and a send button for the final signatory to email on the back of the form.  None of the signature fields works; or not the submit button.  I did everything the same as I had in the previous version of the software.  However, it seems that there are a few changes that I know.  I read about locking objects, but got a little confused.  Can someone tell me (in very lay terms) what I need to do to get these functions work?

    I don't see a screenshot. If you have tried to contact by e-mail, that it won't work, you need to use the interface of the forum.

    In any case, to enable a document depends on which version of Acrobat you are using:

    Acrobat 8: Advanced > enable usage rights in Adobe Reader

    Acrobat 9: Advanced > extend features in Adobe Reader

    Acrobat 10: File > save as > Reader Extended PDF > activate additional features

  • AS3 next and previous buttons - keyframe jumping

    You know, I used to know AS2.  It was fun.  It has been easy.  And then after a pause, I tried to pick up AS3 and everything goes horribly, horribly wrong.  I need the same search of online forums, I can't work out how to get the solution.  I could go back to AS2, but I am determined that I will not let AS3 beat me.  Someone please help!

    I try to add buttons and Back that will blow users between keyframes.

    I have a layer named Actions and a layer called buttons.  The buttons layer has two buttons of different types with 'btn_Next' and 'btn_Back' instance names respectively.

    The two layers have keyframes at frame 30 and frame 60.

    The actions on frame 30 and 60 times say "stop();"

    At present, the action on frame 1 of the Actions layer says:

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

    Stop();

    btn_Back.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);

    function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    prevFrame();

    }

    btn_Next.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler2);

    function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    nextFrame();

    }

    When I press on Ctrl + Enter I am receiving the error message

    «TypeError: Error #1123: filter operator is not compatible with the builtin.as type $0.MethodClosure.» "to [Filename] _fla::MainTimeline/frame1().

    and the buttons do nothing.

    Where I'm going wrong?

    The thing I'm particularly confused about reading other posts, but I need to reproduce this code on each keyframe, or only on frame 1 of the Actions layer.  I tried to add to each keyframe, but then got errors about my duties as duplication.  So I tried to remove all keyframes after the first functions, but that no longer works.

    I tried to change my names on each keyframe instance and modify the code on each keyframe, but that doesn't seem to work either.  And that seems a really inefficient way of doing things.

    Someone help me please.

    Mary

    There is nothing in this code would cause this error.

    create a new flash, add your two-button, then copy and paste this code into your new fla.  Repeat the test.
