Drag and drop in a simulation
Feb 24, 2014

I am trying to figure out how to have an element (a circle in my case) that can be dragged to another location on the screen and dropped, triggering jumping to the next slide. I have set up my trigger so it looks like it should work just like that (Jump to next slide When the user drops a shape on Oval 2). The shape is specified as Oval 1 in the Wizard. But when I preview it, it never works, no matter where I drag it. How can I make this work?

Hi Dave,
Did you preview only the current slide or the whole scene? If you only previewed the current slide, the trigger won't work, because only one slide is previewed.

Here is a quick example that uses a 'dropped on' trigger to jump to the next slide. Hope that's what you wanted.
Previewed scene and whole project. I see that you created a question slide to do this. I was trying to avoid that because it's just one slide in a longer software simulation, so wanted the flow to work with all the other slides. Are you saying that the only way to make a drag and drop work is to use a question slide? Why have the triggers, then, on a normal slide if they don't even work?
