I have used a freeform D and D in a course and have included a Try Again. Is there any way to have the objects snap back to their original location when the learner clicks 'Try Again'. I have used a Reset button in the past that jumps back to the slide but Storyline resets the number of attempts to 0 if I use a reset button.
I guess sometimes asking the question makes you think about it from a different angle. I solved this by adding my own "Try Again" variable and then a couple of triggers to increment and reset the variable when required.
If anyone is interested in the full explanation and a sample file let me know.
We're always interested in seeing more sample files and explanations! It may help someone else looking for the same set up who runs across this thread - so definitely share if you get a chance.
So our problem was that we wanted to give the learner 2 attempts at a drag and drop review question. We also wanted the draggable objects to snap back for the second attempt. For that we just a "Jump to slide" back to the DandD slide.
This however gave us an infinite loop of Try Again. So we added a numbered variable that was incrimented when the learner click the Try Again button. On the learners second incorrect attempt attempt, when they click Submit, the Incorrect box is displayed. From the Incorrect dialog box, when they click Continue they are taken to a review page. From the review page, the learner can be sent back to the original question or a new question covering the same content.
I hope that makes sense. I have a attached a sample. If you have any questions or know of a more elegant way to get the same result please let me know.
Thanks Andrew - since the drag and drop doesn't reset to the default, if you wanted it reset as a part of the try again you'll want to use a method such as the one detailed here.
Screenr videos should still be viewable, although you can't create new videos. I was able to see the video on that link - but also downloaded it and have attached here for you.
I know that today the screenr site was officially taken offline, but you should still be able to visit the page and access screenr videos and then choose to download them if you'd like. All the videos are now public to accessible to anyone to download.

I will work on a sample over the weekend and hopefully have it posted by Sunday night.

Hi Ashley - Apparently Screenr videos are no longer available. Is there a sample file or anything like that. Thanks.

Great thanks. When I clicked on the link I just got a notice from the folks at Screenr and I couldn't go any further, so I appreciate this.

Just took a look at the screenr. Whew, I thought that we were overthinking it (I tend to do that) but we pretty much did the same thing. Thanks.
