Is there an easy way to create drag and drop interactions that submit when every draggable item has been dropped onto a target (not necessarily the correct one)?
I assume this can be set up with some elaborate combination of triggers and variables, but am just wondering if I've overlooked a simpler way?
Thanks Michael. I'm a newbie with Articulate and this example is very helpful.
This solution (almost) works but it's pretty fiddly. The slide I'm currently creating has six draggables, so I need to set up 6 states, and 7 triggers whose conditions each have 6 parts to them. From a quality control point of view this is awful - I could easily have accidentally missed one of the 42 conbinations.
It also submits the interaction prematurely in some circumstances where the user has dropped draggables onto targets but then dragged them off again (which a user might well do, if they start answering a question and then change their minds about the answer). I suppose another half-dozen triggers might be used to fix this.
I was hoping for something more like a "Submit on: completion" option. Oh well. I guess this needs to be added to the feature wishlist. Thanks again for your help though.
For the states, you can set up the state on one object and then use the Format Painter tool to quickly create them for the other objects. Similar with the trigger(s). You set them up on one object, copy a trigger, click-select the other objects and paste it to them.

See attached one option to do this...nothing elaborate about it!

Glad that Michael was able to assist you here Andrew :)
