The correct answer has different hover state in multiple choice quiz questions

Well, that certainly makes it easier to pass!  1 question didn't have the lighter highlight the one about the PH driving passed parked.... the parked opens the door into the n/s of the PH or something like that.  Maybe looking at that question will provide a clue.

Hi Jasmyn,

Did you change the selected state associated with these items? Can you share a copy of the .story file here with us to take a look at? 

Hiya yes I did change the selected state and I think that might be the problem! Not sure why though! The .story file is in the zipped folder link above :) 

Thanks, 

Jasmyn 

Hi Jasmyn,

I faced a similar issue while building a Quiz for a client. This link should help you because it resolved our problem.

Hi Sheena, 

I have tried changing the theme colours but I don't seem to have any luck still :/ 

Thanks anyway though!

Hi Jasmyn,

The zipped file shared above only included the published output - so if you'd like to share a copy of the file (the .story file, which is the file you edited prior to publishing) we'd be happy to take a look and see if we can help you spot where things went haywire. 

Hello Ashley,
I seem to have the same problem. I selected the same purple colour for all answers for the hover and seleted states. But when previewing (and also in the published content), the correct answers have a darker hover colour... Please see the .story file attached. What goes wrong?

Hi Sanne,

Please look at the attached story file and screenshot for your query.

Hello Sheena, thanks for your help. So if I'm correct is was because of the fact that I used 80% transparancy? 

I  just made sure the hover color is same in all the three radio button after clicking Edit States. The hover color of the last radio button was different.

Thanks. I looked at thosed hover colors many times and even when using the same #code and same %transparancy, the correct answer would be slightly darker when previewing. When you select another answer to be the correct answer in form view, this answer will be the darker one. So that seems very strange. Anyhow, when not using transparancy the problem doesn't seem to occur, so I will do that. Thanks again!

Hi Sanne!  I've been having a look at your original file, and I see what you're saying.  I'm having trouble replicating in a new file with your same settings, but I'm working on it.  I'll update you when I can!

Ok, I didn't notice a difference in hover color with a multiple choice question that I built from scratch with adjusted transparency to match yours --on the radio button text shape (80%), on the slide background (100%) or in the Player Properties slide background settings (100%).  I could not get my correct answer to show darker in the hover state.

I did notice, though, that the radio button answer choices had been customized a bit - the text space was a different size on your correct answer (mag nooit) than on the incorrect answers; and even within the states of "mag nooit," the hover state size of the text space and even the radio button, are slightly different than normal or selected states.

If you were to rebuild that slide, even with the transparency settings, are you still seeing the same issue with the correct answer showing as darker?  And, could you please describe the steps you take in building out that slide so we can reproduce?  I just want to rule out the possibility of a bug!

Thanks so much, Sanne!

Hello,

A coworker and I were troubleshooting this very same issue this morning (where the highlight for the correct answer was darker on the hover state). I found the issue and it's very easy to resolve, so I thought I'd share.

The issue is that the Initial State for the Correct answer choice is set to Selected. If you change that to Normal it resolves the issue.

I also downloaded and Story file that CITAVERDE Bedrijfsopleidingen and Sheena shared to see if that was the issue as well. I found the correct answer choice in that file was also set to Selected for the initial state. Once I changed it to Normal it resolved the issue. Hopefully this helps and saves you some time and headache in the future. 

Wow, thanks Kimberly! That's incredibly helpful. I love the knowledge-sharing that happens in this community. 😀

Hi Kimberly

if you change the correct answer from initial state 'Selected' to 'Normal' how does SL know which answer to mark correct? if you look at form view it also removes the correct answer option selected?

Hi Wendy,

I just came across the same issue and was looking for a solution when I saw this thread. I wonder if anyone has solved it.

Hi Carolyn, can you tell me more about what's going on in your file? Are you having trouble with the hover states of the answer choices in a multiple choice quiz question?

If you could also share a sample of your file with me, that would be super helpful. Thanks!

Thanks Alyssa for looking into this.

The colour in the hover state for the correct answer is in a different shade.  If I change the correct answer from initial state 'Selected' to 'Normal' as suggested above,  SL does not know which answer to mark correct.

I'm new to SL and I may have missed out a small detail.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Carolyn, 

Thanks for sharing your file with me! This was happening because the Hover state had a transparent background.

To fix it, I removed the transparent background, and that seemed to do the trick! Have a look at the updated file I attached. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your file and allowing us to take a look Carolyn. I could see where that would certainly be frustrating, but I bet your learners would love it ;)

So, this is happening for 2 reasons:

1. The initial state of the correct item is a different/darker color
2. The hover is actually a transparency overlay

Here's how to solve:

• Remove the transparency from the hover state

I've corrected the first question in your file and re-attached for you to take a look.

Thank you Leslie and Alyssa for your time and help! 

Thank you Alyssa! I was going back and forth trying to troubleshoot!
