Drag and Drop sequence
Oct 10, 2013

Hello All,
Creating a sequence D&D.
Background is colored, answer buttons appear white. No way to fill buttons with color?
Can I insert a picture in a button?
Can I resize a button so it doesn't run the width of the page? Can I widen a button so I can display the picture nicely?
Have been trying to make layers appear upon hovering or clicking on the button, no go.
No way to sub pictures for the buttons as the answers in the built in D&D sequence?
Any way to do this short of a bunch of triggers and variables?
Thanks.

Figured out the length resizing.
Hi David! Have you looked at the Freeform Drag and Drop? I think that will do exactly what you are asking
yes, but I can't seem to get it to work in a specific sequence. am I doing something wrong?
I tried it as a pick many and that didn't work.
Hi David,
It may help if you're able to share your .story file here with the community so that we could look at your set up and the logic you've included for your triggers. Even if it's just the one slide with the drag and drop - that would help.
Here is a file. I am trying to make the photo appear when you select corresponding answer.
Hi David,
You'd like the bowl to appear when they select the correct order for the Sequence drag and drop? If that's the case, you could put the bowl on the Correct layer, and it would only show at that point. Or, instead of your current trigger set up to show the bowl when mouse hovered over, you could set it to when the user clicks on maybe the submit button? This would show the bowl whether they were correct/incorrect.
You can't add images to the buttons themselves (or change their sizing) but you could create a freeform drag and drop where there were images that you dragged into the bowl, instead of the sequence drag and drop. If you need them dragged in the correct order, you may want to review the solution in this thread.
Ashley,
Appreciate your reply. I do want the bowl to appear and remain on the screen as one builds the plate. I just want to be sure that they get marked correct if the build it in the correct sequence, incorrect if they build it in the wrong sequence.
Hi David,
If you'd like the bowl to appear always, you can change it's initial state to "Normal" and it will stay the whole time (unless you add a trigger to hide it). In regards to answering the question in order, I was able to receive the correct layer when placing the items in order, and the incorrect layer when I placed them randomly - so that is working as expected. You'll set the order from within the "Edit Sequence Drag and Drop" screen.
Gracias!
You're welcome!
If you need anything else let us know!
Ashley and all,
I asked if you could attach a photo to a button in a built in SL drag and drop. I wanted the photo to appear when the D&D item was selected. As you know it doesn't work but on mulitple response or multiple choice you can get a photo to change states from hidden to normal when selected. Just thought I would share, I find it makes it a little more interesting before submitting.
Nice David, thanks for sharing!
