Creating a multiple choice quiz with rollover answers

[Joseph_McDonald]

Hello, I am trying to create a multiple choice quiz question where the answer does not appear until the user mouses over the appropriate letter. I have been working on the multiple choice question slide for Captivate, but it appears I can only use text captions with static text.  If anyone knows of a workaround, or a way to add multiple choice question functionality to a blank slide I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

You can create a custom question slide, with standard objects, variables and advanced (or shared actions). Have a lot of examples on my blog, here is one link:

Do you have to report the score for that slide?

Thank you so much for the link.  The short answer to your question is at this time we do not need to report the score.  Right now we are just working on the proof of concept.  In all honesty, it will depend on the client's decision, but that is for another time.

I did have some difficulty recreating what you did in the Example.  I noticed on that page you refer to looking at pictures in the gallery.  Where is the gallery located?

The Gallery with screenshots is normally at the bottom of the article. It was not always possible to have images in between text with Posterous, my blogging host at the moment of that article.

Thanks I see the pictures now.  That helps a lot.  You have a great writeup on the advanced actions to make this work so I think I'll be good with that portion. I do have a couple of stylistic questions though:

• Unfortunately, having any sort of highlight color will not work with the theme I need to use.  Do you know how to remove highlighting, or make it transparent?
• I have three questions, and was able to get the three choice bubbles lined up by reshaping the widget.  Do you know of any way to increase/decrease space between the selection bubbles without reshaping the widget?  I'm concerned that when we review the course the project sponsor may ask for spacing that I can not create by reshaping the widget.
