Multiple Choice Quiz Slide Not Fully Displaying

Oct 21, 2018

I've created a multiple-choice quiz slide with 9 choices.  Since Storyline puts them into a scrolling box and there is plenty of screen space on the right, I moved 4 of the choices to the right.  But now when the slide renders, it displays the incorrect choices first, pauses a few seconds, then it displays the correct choices.  What am I doing wrong?  I couldn't find any setting that affects this.  Is this perhaps a bug?  See both examples below:

Incorrect choices

Now all choices show

Thank you both Leslie & Michael.  FYI, I'm using Storyline 3, not 360, so maybe that's why it worked for Michael.

Leslie, attached is a .story file containing an example.  When you run it, you'll see how it displays one option, then more options, then finally all the options.  Ironically, the last options it displays are all the correct options.

In the timeline of this slide, at the bottom, there is an expandable item labelled Multiple Response. When you expand this item, you'll see that some answer choices are set to come in a  few seconds later (don't ask me why). Adjust all the choices, so that they all start at the beginning of the timeline.

Thanks for the quick reply Michael.  That was definitely the problem.  I didn't even know the multiple-choice control expands like that revealing all of the checkbox controls.  I did not position the placement of those checkboxes on the timeline like that, that is something that Storyline 3 did on its own somehow.  Perhaps it doesn't do that in 360.  If your development team would like a "blow by blow" on how I ran across that problem, I list the steps.

Hi Cliff,

Thanks for popping back in with an update. Glad that Michael was able to help you out.

I created a similar question slide in your file using Storyline 3 and I am unable to replicate the issue.

If you have steps to replicate the items moving on the timeline, please feel free to share and/or record a screencast demonstrating and I'd be happy to take a closer look.

Try adding a new multi-choice slide with say 5 choices.  Preview it.  It will probably run fine.  Then go to Form View and add a few more choices to a total of 10.  Go to Slide View and move the choices just added around.  Now preview it.  For me, it delays rendering the first 5 choices I added.  What it did was move those items on the timeline without me knowing it.
