Hi, you should be able to use your mouse to drag a picture to somewhere else without it making a copy. If you the Ctrl key pressed and then you select an image it will make a copy.
If you can share an example of what is happening I can take a look for you.
Ok, thanks for the clarification. So you have a drag and drop question that when you preview or publish it, the picture you drag get's copied when you drag it.
That's unusual behaviour. If you have set it up using the standard settings, it shouldn't do that.
I've attached a simple example of how it should work.
Hi, you have multiple copies of the sheep and hen - so that's why you could drag and drop more than one of them. Look at the timeline and remove any copies.
The other issue is that, for some reason, the sheep and hen appear on the background image - as if they are apart of the image (which they are not).
OK, so if you want to drag and drop a lot of images, then that's what you have set up - it is't copying them, it is dragging and dropping the ones you have created.
The only issue I can see is that they appear on the background image so you can't drag and drop all of them.
I would be happy to help but for me to really understand what you are after and build it will take a bit of time. Hopefully someone else will be able to assist you.
You can simulate copying multiple objects by resetting the slide after each object is dropped. Using variables you can still create the counter effect like what you're already doing.

Not. I mean something else
This problem occurs when drag and drop.

But I want to have one number from each But I can drag and drop get so many
It maybe because there are lots of images for each of those animals.
Do you want to drag lots of animals into the pen? Or just one?
just one.
(I have copied some ostriches and sheep)
But I want to have one number from each .(But I can drag and drop get so many)
I am confused with what you are trying to achieve here. Do you want each one to be draggable?
I do not want to copy a lot of animals
But I want to drag and drop a lot

I would recommend recreating the slide.
If you want them to stay in the pen then you need to use multiple objects

I think it might understand, do you only want them to be able to drag and drop one of each of the animals and this will give them the correct answer?
tanx :)
yes. But do not copy the animals.
I have copied the animals so I can use the copy number.
I copied the animals so I can do a lot of dragging.
I think it's a mistake.
Can a simpler work be done?

Hi, I am sure it can be made simpler but I am unsure what you are trying to achieve with the variables you have created.
If you can type what the correct answer is and what you want the learner to do I can take a look at it.
The first slide moves wrong and The second slide moves right
But again, the second slide of the circles is copied.That is wrong.

Thank you
