I set up a "Pick One" using several images grouped with separate text boxes, & set it to infinite attempts. When I preview the slide and select any answer then submit, I get the error message "Invalid answer. You must complete the question before submitting."
Help? I don't know why this happens - aren't you supposed to select one of the items and press submit to complete the question?
Please make sure that you set all of the items as possible answers in the Form view. If you continue to have issues, you can share the files here as Michael suggested.
First off I wouldnt group the objects I would add the text into the states of the image object. Next make sure each answer is defined in the answer dialogue and make sure the red outline is showing the objects you want to be the answers. Select a correct answer and any other feedback options. Having done this the objects should work you can try adding or removing them from Button Set on right click also as this can cause issues on some mulitple choice templates.
Hi Emily, Michael, and Tim, Thanks for your suggestions. Here's the file. Tim, why can't grouping work? And I don't know how I would add the text into the states of the image object.... I guess I haven't learned about states yet. I just wanted to have a picture with some words below it that users could select anywhere in the picture or words.
Grouping objects can be a bit messy and doesnt really add any functionality
to the group. If you select the object enter edit states and paste your
text into it you have a combined object which can have multiple states.
These states can be called to have things appear disappear act like buttons
etc. I recommend learning about states its the most important interactive
element especially when combines with layers.
Attached is an updated file using states for the text. Here is also some information on states to take a look. you could also just leave the text boxes separate as it was only showing a glow for the selected state on the image itself.

Without seeing the actual file it's tricky to guess what the problem may be. Can you share the .story file here?
