Customizing a question
March 6, 2014 12:00 AM
I want to add a quiz question to my web course. It's not graded or part of a test.
1. I want to display my own custom correct and incorrect feedback, not in a popup message. These each consist of a panel image with text, plus audio. I can create groups to contain the the feedback panels and show the panels with a Show action in the feedback actions, but the feedback actions only allow me a single action. I also need to play the audio and mark the page correct.
2. The user should have unlimited tries until they get it correct. If I tell Lectora to use unlimited tries, it lets them keep guessing forever, even after they get it correct.
3. I have used a global audio object, as recommended in another thread, in order to utilize global-level pause and play buttons. How do I interrupt that audio and play a different audio file when the user makes a choice?
4. The page should get marked complete only when the user answers correctly. Because I currently have an action attached to the global audio object that marks a page complete when the initial audio is done playing, I can't determine a way to override this action in the question's page.
5. Is there a way to disable the question buttons when the correct answer is selected? I don't see an action to do that.
Thanks.

Hi,
1. Put all the actions you want to run in a group and use the one action to "Run action group"
2. / 5. Add an action to the button
On: Click
Action: Hide
Target: This object
Condition: Only if question_### is correct
If you don't want to hide the button you can show a transparent PNG over the button so it can't be clicked any more.
3. Use an action to "Stop" the audio then "Change content" to load the audio file you want to play. You may have to use a "Play" action.
4. The easiest way to achieve that also with regard to 3. may be to disinherit the global audio object on that page and use individual audio objects on that page. Mind you'll have to copy the play / pause button as well to target the page level audio.
