State of the drag object not changing when dropped.
I have a quick drag and drop interaction that I'm trying to help a colleague with, but it is just not working as desired. There are boxes acting as drop targets and groups consisting of text boxes a...
Hi Sarah, apologies I did not see your response for some reason. Im glad Eric has replied, and yes, he is spot on - Storyline only allows for one correct drop location per draggable item.
(bummer!)
@Eric - I think your link to Walt's discussion solution hasnt come through (or at least it isnt clickable for me)
@Sarah - Ive had to code up things like this in the past where draggable items can be in multiple locations, but it is ALWAYS hard and complex because not only are you setting the triggers manually for the interaction, you also have to fight against Storyline a bit, as it tries to "help" by constantly putting it the default functionality!
If I could offer advice, first set up Storylines form view to have all your draggable items BUT ONLY ONE ITEM HAS A DROP ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH IT (this will leave the rest without a correct drop location)
Then uncheck the option for Storyline to show the feedback states. You will have to control that yourself. Simply set up a trigger for each item to show the correct/incorrect state based on the drop zones you have.
Next, only allow the SUBMIT button to be clickable when they get all the drop items in the correct locations.
And that should work. Essentially, you have a drag and drop with only 1 item that Storyline checks to see if its correct or not. You manually check the rest.
Good luck! ;)
Thanks so much for pointing that out, Andrew! I forgot to include the hyperlink to Walt's post. I'm sorry about that.
