Quiz hanging after submission

Apr 08, 2013

Hey there I am working on a quiz and its hanging about 25% through the quiz. Whats happening is that I'll select the correct hotspot and I'll get this spinning icon with a pulse animation and then nothing else happens. Here is an image of the effect.

Any suggestions on what would cause this? Thanks.

I just had the same problem and found the cause, though you have probably all figured this out by now. The problem is caused when you put the Submit button in the stage area with the hotspots. When you click a hotspot, it becomes active and is waiting for a Submit Hotsp[ot interaction. When you click the Submit button, the hotspot moves to the Submit button in the stage area, but still submits the interaction - giving you an incorrect answer and a hang. So you have a couple of choices, the easiest of which is to use the Submit button on the player. However, if you have not been using the Submit button in the player, it will be foreign to your users.

My suggestion is to add another layer called Submit, and then paste your submit button in place. Position the Submit button to the desired position. Go back to the slide layer and set a trigger to Show Layer, Submit when the timeline starts. Works lika a champ.
