I have a quiz with a number of blank slides often before and after a question slide, I need the quiz to play in order but often a question will appear out of order, I cannot see any reason why. Do I have to set branching for each qeustion/slide
I did not have any of my quizes set to auto shuffling, although I think you I hacked a solution, I set my qiuz to autoshuffle and then locked all the slides in place, seems like quizmaker is buggier than I thought
If you had flash CS3, 4 or CS5 you can look at the action scripting in the background and see what the true issue is. With a form, you are literally passing back values in a certain order and with Yes / No answers, it's important that you get the correct response to the corresponding question. As long as the answers match the question it shouldn't matter in which order the questions appear.
I do have CS5 how do you look at the actionscript.
My slides had no branching, but always played the same one out of order everytime, in the end I fixed it by setting branching on the blank slides and it appears to be working so far
You'll need the FLA file that is created by articulate. Once you have that open the FLA file up and then you should be able to access the Action Script Layer. Your probably going to have 10 scenes for each of the questions. You can also align and do anything you want to the formatting in Flash. Anyway check the code. You'll see the button. You want to check to see which scene the button links to upon click.
In a nutshell the action script for Question 7 in my above example has two buttons. Right and Wrong. If the learner presses the wrong button they are routed to frame3 but if they got the correct answer they are sent to scene2.
On frame two and frame3 the learner may press Next, restart, or quit. If they select the next button, they jump to scene q8. Try not to be confused about the naming convention. the b_ means button to me, q7b means question 7 button b and the goto and stop says to got to scene q8.
Anyway if you understand how buttons work, you may easily arrange your code so buttons appear in a certain fashion. Articulate is converting code into flash so those without Flash are not going to be able to open the hood and make modifications to what was created by Articulate. However those of us with Flash can further tweak to code to make it do whatever we want it to do.
I had the same issue. I could not access the ActionScript layer. Instead, I manually set the feedback on all questions and blank slides to the next numbered slide rather than leaving it at "default." That seems to have fixed the error.

Make sure the auto shuffling is turned off.
thanks James, I may a little ignorant here but i cant find that option

Jeanette made a nice screenr that should answer that question.

Thanks, will give it a go
