2nd attempt drag&drop problem
May 15, 2012
Hi there!
I am still reviewing this product and I see the incredible potential. However, I am struggling even to get the easiest of things done here.
ISSUE:
Drag and drop works fine the first time round. Second time, the drag items won't show anymore. So again I am stuck and seriously wasting hours of fiddling with "reset slide to initial state" etc. but all seem to fail.
I would appreciate it very much if someone could take a look at my 2 slide story and tell me what I have done wrong here.

I got this to work by switching the trigger on the continue button to goto the previous slide. This gets the slide to reload correctly. Probably not what you wanted, I think there is some confusion when you loop back to the same slide if it is a quiz question
Hi Phil,
Thanks for replying but the issue still remains.
I don't understand why this issue happen in the first place. All I want is users to have a 2nd attempt and redo the slide when they failed the first time.
Issue: The 2nd time they do the slide, the words that they should drag into the box won't appear.
Hold your horses
I actually rectified the issue by deselecting the "hide objects on base layer"..now the words appear the 2nd time round.
However I still have 2 issues remaining:
1. The words DO appear the 2nd time...however, they are still inside the box where the user placed them the first time...I just want the slide to "start again"...(yes I have selected to "reset to initial state")
2. Look at my screenshot that I attached I get a strange message through my slide!!!!!!!
It loaded fine when I jumped to slide 1 then back again.
I think the problem is that it is a quiz question and it may have worked better if you built it as a free form interaction
It's free form
I mean not a question build the interaction as a slide
Phil thank you very much for taking trouble to reply, I really appreciate it a lot.
However, at the moment I get pretty sick of all this troubleshooting to get the simplest of things done. Even if your suggestion would work, why would it not be possible to make a quiz question in the first place?
And any idea why this "hardware id...." message comes up through my slide if I deselect "hide objects on base layer"
Now I ill start again, delete my slide, start over from scratch...and this is the so many time I do this.
I would say, not worth paying money for if all these bugs still exist.
Thanks for your time
I got the slide to reload on the example I posted
This type of interaction is best built as a slide rather than a quiz, especially of you want the user to keep retaking it.
Not sure what the text is never seen it.
Can you do one test for me?
click on the 'try again" settings button and deselect "hide objects on base layer" then preview the slide and the message started to appear for me. (also when publishing)
I looked at your project ahd there are several ways to do this.
I changed your project real quick and will send it back you you in an email.
