Trying to customize the graded multiple choice questions. I have added a state to the radio buttons to show the correct choice if user gets it wrong. The trouble is the radio button in new state will not change (wanted to hilite it green) . When I duplicate the 'selected' state the middle of radio button disappears.
The only way I can get it to work is add a very fiddly small gfx , which is hard to align. (many, many to do)
Without seeing your set up, it's hard to know for certain what is happening but I would generally recommend instead of modifying the states of the built in buttons, you may want to add a "checkmark" or other indicator on the feedback layers next to the correct answers, or create a checkmark that initially has a hidden state next to the correct answer, and it's state is changed to normal based on how the user answers (if you're not using feedback layers).
There is some similar discussion in this thread where Kevin offers an explanation of how to set this up.
Thanks for sharing the example - although it seems to be working?
For screen 1, the answers shuffle and I always see the check mark when answering correctly and the red X when answering incorrectly. For both set up, the correct answer has a green state of the radio button and the checkmark or X appear next to the one I selected. So that seems to be working as expected.
For the second screen, I also see the checkmarks when I answer correctly. I don't see the X's but there are no trigger set up to show those based on the answer selected.
If I'm missing something, please let me know - but everything seems to be working as expected?

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply.
It's for a client, so cannot post, but will strip out and post a multi and single response for you to look at.
I'm just trying to use layers but then cannot 'shuffle' the responses.
It's pretty standard ... tick or cross + indicate the correct answer if wrong but cannot seem to make work without using gfx.
Post as soon as.
Mark
Hi Ashley, here's an example:
Screen 1: works but fiddly using the gfx in button states ( as cannot duplicate the radio button state and call it 'correct'
Screen 2 - The multi shot, multi response is not working using layers, giving up at the mo!!
