Articulate Storyline

Hi Victoria

just looking at your form view is the 'oval' the correct 'drag' item?

Hi Wendy, thanks for responding. Thanks for finding that error which I have now fixed. I have uploaded the file again.  Unfortunately I still cannot get the activity to do what I need it to do so any ideas very gratefully received!
Thank you

Hi Victoria

see if the attached updated file works how you want. I added a hotspot under the top section where there initial drag items are located and changed the triggers.  I also hide the rectangles on the timeline as I wasn't sure what their purpose was and it was confusing how they were setup on the slide. If you need to show them you can, but just be careful where they are located on the timeline so they are not overlaying your drop targets.

Shout out if you need more help.

Hi Wendy,

Thanks so much for taking a look. I like the idea of a using a hotspot rather than the rectangles - much more elegant!

However, it still isn't working exactly as I would like.

- If you drag an item off an incorrect space, back to the hotspot area, it no longer snaps back to its original position. You could end up with all drag items layered on top of each other so you cannot read them.
- If you then move one of those dragged items again within the hotspot zone you lose another point - so you can very quickly lose points you already had, and even go to minus points.

Do you think there are any ways to get around these problems please?

Thank you!

Hi Victoria

you could try individual hotspots as the return target.  Another thought would be to set it up a little differently as a free form pick one - might take a few more triggers but it wouldn't be so fickle with the scoring ;-)

Hi Wendy,

Okay thanks - I'll give those ideas a try.

Thanks again!
