HELP PLS! Fill in the blank's Drag & Drop
Jan 10, 2017
Hey everyone, i'm currently working on a project that requires multiple answers to be dragged into the correct part of a sentence (this also needs to be graded)
I'm really struggling as my notes are only doing so much for my understanding (i did my training over a year ago and have only now been required to use this function)
I also can't get onto any of my test stories as the were done on SL2 and i only have one (also most answers i've found are on SL2 and i can't open them :()
I'm really starting to panic, would anyone with SL1 be able to put the attached into SL1 with the trigger forms so i can see how it works?
I just cannot get my head around it :(
Thanks in advance!

I answered in another thread, let me copy.paste my answer here :
If we start from the beginning, you have to create a "drag and drop" type question (in free form section).
You create your sentence with some blanks, and on these blanks you create transparent rectangle shapes. Theses will be your drop targets. Rename these objects (blank 1, blank 2, blank 3, etc.)
Then you create the words that will be dragable. Just create text fields. Each word is an object.
Then you go to "form view" (accessible on the right panel), and you select each dragable words in the left column. There must be as many lines as dragable words.
In front of the correct words, in the right column, you must select the good "blanks" : just select the good transparent shape for each of the words.
In front of the wrong words (words that don't have to be placed), just leave "none".
Hi Lea
see if the attached is what you need
'Oh my goodness, that's exactly what i'm looking for thank you, thank you.
I understand it now that i see it actually done with the thing i'm working on!
One more question on this right now (and i think it follows from the first answers i received from this thread but i'm not sure i understood.
1. If i had 6 correct answers but 10 answers in total (4 dummies) how would i reflect this in the editing form? Would the Drag item be the dummy answers and the drop item would be 'none'?
Yes Lea exactly...and don't forget to check the drag and drop option settings are set up how you need them - shout out if you get stuck.
Good luck with your project.
thank you! You've no idea the relief that just came over me when i put it into storyline and it worked! :)
Glad to help Lea :-) we've all had those OMG moments.
Hi Wendy, i was wondering if you could help me out with one other thing i've just noticed.
When i click on some of the answers in my multiple choice questions, i get a flash of illuminous yellow, it's happening in a few of my questions and i'm not sure how to fix it?
Thanks :)
Hi Lea
can you share your .story file - will be easier to try and help if I can see what is happening. Just use the grey 'add attachment' button at the bottom of the post to upload your file.
