Edit Sequence Drag and Drop Questions

Hello,

I have changed the backgound colour of the drawing object in my 'Edit Sequence Drag and Drop Question' however, in 'preview' mode the colour is not showing.  I have tried to 'bring it forward' etc.  Nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions on how I can colour the background of the question?

Many thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

How weird...formatting the fill for the placeholder for most of the other quiz types seems to "take" both in slide view (normal view) and preview (I've tried T/F, MC, Sequence Drop-down, Matching DD, Word Bank), but not Sequence Drag/Drop.

Still, I did get it to work.

  1. Insert a rectangle over the existing Sequence Drag/Drop Shape
  2. Fill it with the desired color; choose line color if desired
  3. Drag it down in the timeline so it's below the text box and the sequence drag...box

See attached and please shout out with any questions.

Hi Chris and Ashley,

Glad it worked, Chris. I can't tell you how often I've "slapped myself upside the head" when someone provides a solution. Seems like it's always easier to solve a problem when it's someone else's! Still, seems like that might be a bug, or at least an omission, in the Sequence Drag/Drop. Wonder if we should report it?
