Help! Freeform not working
Apr 05, 2016

Hello
Wondering if someone can help... I have set up 7 hotspots and I would like the user to choose 4 of them in order to be correct.
I have additional triggers set up for the orange checkmark to show up when they click any hotspot, but only 4 of them will be correct.
When I preview it and select the correct 4 hotspots, then click "Submit", I get a message saying 'Invalid Answer: You must complete the question before submitting'.
Why am I getting this message? Please see my quiz question attached...
Thanks!!!

Hi Erin,
Nothing is attached.
double check when you change the page to free form that you go into form view to make sure you've selected the answers that's correct. if you are still having issues that attached the .story file so people can see whats up.
Whoops! Sorry I thought it was attached. Now it's there...
Yes - I'm selecting the correct responses :-)
Instead of hotspots, use transparent shapes with a Selected state. Clicking hotspots won't register a selection.
Hi Michael - do you mean use them as the "hover" items? And then hotspots as the clickable items for the quiz question?
See attached file where I replaced the hotspots with transparent shapes.
Thank you! That is working... Except for one more thing I can't figure out now.
It works well if the user got the right answer on the first attempt. I intentionally picked the wrong options, and I do indeed get the "Try Again" layer, but upon second attempt, the slide doesn't re-set.
I tried setting up a trigger for the checkmarks to disappear when the user clicks "Try Again" but it's still registering the old answers. (I have it set at 3 attempts)
Thanks again for all your help!
You also need to set the transparent shapes back to their Normal state, see attached.
Ahhh! I was only resetting the checkmarks, not the transparent shapes.
My hero! lol
THANK YOU!
