Problem with Drag and Drop Interaction Resetting
Jan 25, 2016
I created a drag and drop interaction that lets the user try the interaction again if he or she doesn't get the required 80%. The whole project is set up as one scene. When I preview the scene, everything works like it should; however, when I preview as the whole project, I can't re-do the interaction. The try again button on the results slide will take me back to the slide with the interaction, but I can't move any of the drag objects (they are fixed on the slide.) The slide is set to reset to initial state when re-visited and the scoring on the slide reset to zero when I try again, so I can see that the slide is re-set. I can't figure out why the drag objects are fixed on the slide when I re-try the interaction. It does the same thing when I publish it too. I have attached the story file to see if anyone can figure out what the problem is.

Hi, Noelle -- Thanks so much for your question! Would it be possible for you to share the type of environment in which you are seeing this behavior?
As the article explains, "If you view an Articulate Storyline course on your local hard drive (or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive), you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail. To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published."
I built the course on my local hard drive and I'm seeing this problem when I preview it directly from my hard drive. I chose the web option when I published it and put it into googledrive. It does the same thing in googledrive: https://96c0ac7079e7d97b2f049a78ba6169f2c64583d9.googledrive.com/host/0BzXCVFO7OXzVSzlTVF8xZE0xRDA/
I appreciate the additional information, Noelle, and I will be certain to share my findings with you here as soon as I have tested your file. :)
Hi, Noelle -- Many thanks for your patience while I ran through some testing on your file. I thought I'd touch base to share that I also saw the behavior you described when I tested your published output at tempshare.articulate.com as seen in this link. I will do a bit more investigation and will be in touch!
Hello again, Noelle -- It looks like another member of the community ran into a similar situation where items were 'frozen' or no longer drag-able on retry. Please see this link and let us know if the suggestions offered will work for you!
I figured it out. I had to edit the Results Slide. Under the options menu I had to check the box that said allow user to retry quiz. Storyline added a Retry Quiz button and that resets the drag and drop.
Thanks for popping in to share your findings and results Noelle. For anyone else following along, I wanted to share our documentation:
Result slides give learners dynamic feedback at the end of quizzes and surveys. They also send reporting and tracking information to learning management systems, including learners' responses and scores. See this tutorial to learn all about result slides.
