    You could potentially achieve this by placing a marker (or multiple markers if you prefer not to manage single marker states) on a question slide and linking the marker content to the answer choices using triggers. However, I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort, as further customization would heavily rely on JavaScript. While links within the marker content cannot display different states, you could enhance visualization by presenting selected choices separately or off to the side. There’s room for experimentation, but it’s important to consider whether this approach genuinely adds value to the interaction.

      👏In any case, it's a very elegant and clever solution Nedim . For the moment, I can't reproduce it - it's a real enigma.🤪 I'm afraid it would be very (too?) complicated to satisfy Malvika's request, as you suggest.

    Thanks Thierry. I've attached a .story file for reference. The setup essentially combines a multiple-choice question in the background with marker content linked to triggers. These triggers set the selected state of the radio buttons and update the user selection. Based on the selection, the answer variable is also updated. The issue I encountered with this approach was the inability to submit the interaction directly from inside the marker. Using the 'Submit Interaction' trigger when the user clicks Submit did not work as expected. To resolve this, I implemented JavaScript to target the Submit button and simulate a click() event, ensuring the interaction could be submitted properly. Now that I think about it, I can see myself using this approach occasionally just to try something different. With a bit more customization and a redesign of the feedback layers, this could actually look quite polished and effective. The only thing that still bothers me is the inability to apply different hyperlink styles other than the default. It would be great if the links inside the marker could have a distinct look and feel.

      I hadn't seen your answer either, Nedim  Thank you very much, I will study this with great interest... tomorrow. 😃

      Hello Nedim . The only thing I didn't understand in your explanations AND even studying your .story file at first, was how you managed to place clickable elements inside the marker panel. It was obvious (from their appearance!) but it took me a while to recognize hyperlinks. In my opinion, this is the genius of your demo. In fact, their appearance cannot be modified by a custom style when they are dragged inside the marker. That's a shame. I've learned something and I too am thinking about how to reuse it. Many thanks for sharing the idea. 

  • Hi MalvikaMalho044  JWroblewska will certainly reply, but it's quite simple. The marker on the base layer is just used as a button (no title, no description, no outline) to display a layer with a quiz. The marker has two additional states: OK (green color) and KO (red color). On the quiz layer, if you answer correctly, a trigger changes the marker's state to “OK”, and if you answer incorrectly, a second trigger changes the marker's state to “KO”. And that's it!

  • Sorry for the late reply MalvikaMalho044 : I didn't see the question you asked (use @Thierry... next time). As I said, I don't think there's a quiz “inside” the marker (it's not possible). The marker is just used as a button to do something else: call up a quiz. I reworked your file very quickly. Here are two ways (among a dozen) of providing a quiz by imitating the JWroblewska demo with the use of markers (or any other button): on a layer as I suggested, or on a separate slide, which you can multiply. I hope this helps you understand the trick!

  • ThierryEMMANUEL- You are right. I am still figuring out how hyperlinks were placed inside marker. 

    Only if there was a video on how the course was produced.

      You don't need a video, MalvikaMalho044 . It's easy enough to add a hyperlink, even inside the marker panel.
      (Perhaps you don't yet know how to add a hyperlink? Let me explain how)
      Let's start with a blank slide.
      Type in a word or phrase.
      Select that word, or the whole sentence, or a single word within that sentence.
      While the word (or phrase) is still selected... in the Insert tab, click on Hypertext Link. And that's it! Your word or phrase has become a hypertext link. 
      The Trigger Wizard opens automatically, asking you (by default) what www link you want to associate when you click on this word/phrase (Nedim has changed the “go to www...” action to another).
      Now that you know...
      Place a marker, type text in the panel (for example, 3 capital cities), select the text of a city, while the text is still selected...  etc
      Is it any clearer?
