I have created a drag and drop feature where the user has to drop specific statements in the correcesponding box on a process map. I want however that they recieve correct or incorrect feedback immediately after each drag and drop, and not only when they hit submit. How do I do this????
I don't think there is a built-in functionality in storyline that allows you to do this.. but you can create the same effect by working with triggers and states.
See the attached example.. It's not pretty at all but it should show you how you can make it work.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have questions.
I also changed the feedback master and I love the layout of the text box, but it makes my base layer disappear, and the theme from the feedback master background is applied. I don't want that background, I want the feedback to appear overtop of my actual page...
Yeah, items stack on top of their drag targets. There's no built-in method to have them stack behind. However, you could work around it by using state changes. (I attached a rough example).
You could change the object state to hidden when it's dropped. If it's dropped correctly, you could trigger a corresponding object that starts hidden to become normal and appear behind the drop target. This may necessitate you being flexible with how the drag and drop is approached as it may need immediate feedback versus stacking them all and then hitting the submit button.

I should also mention that the feedback is different for each drag and drop. Is this possible?

WOW, that may be way to complicated for this specific page. I will have to rethink the design concept.
Thanks for your input Donna
Another quick question regarding my drag and drops.
I have two header, and then 6 random statements.
I want the user to drag the appropriate statement to it's appropriate header.
But my question is, I want the statement to Stack Behind the headers. Right now they stack, or tile on top (in front) of the headers.
Thanks

Another HELP!!!!

Nadine,
You should be able to go to your feedback master, right click, format, and select no fill.

Thanks Mike....What about my other question just above that one???
Sorry to be a pain, the crunch is on to get this project out, and I guess I am stressing a bit.
By the way, that worked!

Here's a thread that talks about the approach:
