Flash :: Learning Interactions

Learning Interactions
Today I started playing with the learning interactions built into MX. I started a quiz template and tried to add a question. According to the Flash Help files, all you should need to do is add in a frame and drag/drop or copy/paste one of the learning interactions. When I test movie it accurately shows the number of questions, but the number right/wrong at the end doesn't add up to the right number (i.e. they add up to the previous amount of questions, not the new amount). Is there something I need to do to make Flash count the answer for this new question?

HELP - Learning Interactions
hi guys,

I've create the drag n drop from flash learning interactions and I tried to set the variable in 'Control button' from learning interactions with the code see below :

on(press)
{
var kaztest = "testing";
}

and also

onClipEvent(mousedown)
{
var kaztest = "testing";
}

but it does not work and won't update the variable.

Is the 'Control button' a button or movie clip symbol?

Can you help me pls.

Cheers.

Learning Interactions
I would like to learn about creating Learning Interactions, such as the ones provided by Flash, but my own, building components, AICC and SCORM compliance and other such related topics.

Can anyone tell me how to do that? Kidding. Actually I would like any good sources of information, books tutorials, classes, etc.

I'm not looking to use the stuff Flash has already created, but build my own stuff.

Thanks for any direction.

Learning Interactions Help
Hi.

Does anyone know how to alter the colour of the text in a multiple choice component on the quiz templates in Flash Mx?

It is black and I need it to be white.... I think it needs some action script but i'm not sure of the exact code.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Learning Interactions
Hello! I'm new to this site...hopefully someone can help!

I've spent many hours trying to solve what I think is a simple problem. Searched many resources too with no luck.

I am building an e-learning module. I am trying to use the learning interactions, particularly multiple choice and fill in the blank. In one .swf file, they work beautifully. In another, the question appears, but the boxes for fill in the blanks or the multiple choice answers do not. As well, the button doesn't change it's title (i.e. to check answer or submit). I've tried shortening the text. I've tried editing the parameters in both the symbol itself and within the main movie.

Any thoughts?

Learning Interactions
This is a general question...

Do you have to use the learning interactions for a quiz when using an LMS?

Background:
I have only used learning interactions on quizes using an LMS.

Now I have a client that wants a pool of 40 questions, 4 from each section in the course. He only wants 1 question from each section to be asked and if the user gets it wrong they get the second question from that sections pool (no score) - if they get it right they move on to the next sections pool (score) - and so on.

I don't think I can alter the learning interactions enough to do this, but a quiz built without them I can. However I am not sure that the LMS can then track the score or not.

Any insight?
THANK YOU!!!

Any help appreciated on this!

Is there any way of sending results from a quiz via email to a client? They do not have a LMS. I'd like to be able to build a quiz where the user can enter their name, do the quiz, and on completion press a button and have the results emailed to their training manager. They are a small company, this quiz being intended for use by 10 people max, hence them not wishing to fork out for a proper LMS.

Learning Interactions
quiz questions see previous post.
Attached are the files in question one at a time zipped. work fine seperately, but can't seem to get the way to put them in the same clip & that is what I need to do.

suggestions anyone?

'learning Interactions' Extension
I'm creating a quiz with the flash 'learning interactions' extension. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get a results page -- how do I tally the results? Has anyone used this extension.

Also, I want to have a limit of 3 incorrect answers, or the user would have to redo the quiz again.

Any guidance / suggestions are greatly appreciated.

FYI, the Macromedia 'learning interation' extension can be downloaded from Macromedia.com: http://www.macromedia.com/software/w...xtensions.html

Errors Using Learning Interactions
Hello all,
I'm using the Drag and Drop learning interaction in Flash MX. I managed to get it working fine thanks to the documentation. However, when I publish the movie, I get a long string of errors in the debug window, such as the following. Anyone know how to make it stop? As I say, the interaction itself is working...

Error writing accessibility information for 92Drag1.Line 1: ';' expected
92Drag1._accProps = new Object();

Error writing accessibility information for 92Drag1.Line 2: ';' expected
92Drag1._accProps.silent = false;

Error writing accessibility information for 92Drag1.Line 3: ';' expected
92Drag1._accProps.name = "Drag Object 1";

Help On Flash5 Learning Interactions
I am a newbie trying to create a multiple choice / drag & Drop type of quizzes.

I open "Common Libraries" choose learning interactions , choose type of quiz .. go thru the whole customization routine and on "Exporting Movie" I get an swf with the quiz the way I want it.

The next time I open the previously created fla, I do not see the quiz interactions but the clip parameters are as I had earlier modified. Now if I Export movie again, I get a blank swf file.

What went wrong & where.

Are you aware of any 3rd party product from where I can create such quizzes and generate swf files .

Learning Interactions - MX Version
Hoping someone has dug into the componetized version of the Learning Interactions. I've a few questions from a couple perspectives - as an OO learner and as someone who has to implement data-driven quizzes.

I'm picking up on OOP and MM's style of implmenting thier components and would like to know if the Learning Interactions would be a good case study for seeing a MVC structure implemented. The way i understand it, the FUI components are structured that way...do the LI share that approach?

Why wasn't a dataprovider bolted on? In this day and age, it seems very strange to exclude database-driven quiz construction. Unless the component is not a good implementation of OO style (hence the above question).

I've been thinking that I could locate the place where a quizzes top level arrays are stored (all questions, answers, reponses, etc) and simply write in my loadVar stuff. So i created a quiz the MM way, tested the movie and dived in. I can see stuff for each _current question but I can't find any master list.

And what's that deal about the (seemingly) infinitely nested Asset_path?

thankx

Score In Learning Interactions
Hi
How does the scoring work in Flash MX? If the quiz's last page which presents the score is not correct, where in the movie should I look to fix it?

Using the provided learning interactions Multiple Choice clip I have created a 10 questions quiz in MX. I did not break apart the movieclips for the questions but rather edited each movieclip, and dedicated a seperate movieclip (dup of the original) for each question, mainly because breaking apart was creating all kinds of other problems. The user can also access scene 2 at anytime to view references to the questions and go back to questions scene.
Now the score page does not reflect the users answers.
Any suggestions how to fix that?
Thanx

Learning Interactions: Components
Hi all,

Im using the components to make a quiz. Howeva, I need a radio button component as the multiple choice component doesnt have the option of being mutually exclusive.

Does anyone know where I can download additional components to add into flash, where I can purchase some, if some one has made some I can copy or wateva?

I really need those radio battio components

Learning Interactions MX2004 Help
I woul really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to edit the input text template.
Thanks

Custom Learning Interactions
I am in desperate need of help. I need to customize Flash MX2004 learning interactions to do the following:

-when the user clicks on the "Done" button, I need a branching navigation to go to a page based on their result. I.e. if the drag&drop is answered correctly, it goes to the "Correct" page, if not, it goes to an "Incorrect" page. Simple feedback is not going to do the trick here.

-secondly, I am faced with multiple clicks just to get to the next page. The user clicks on the "Done" button, and then he needs to push a "Next Question" button. This is pretty annoying... I just need a single button with a single click to move things along.

Any help on how to modify the Learning Interactions in this way would be greatly appreciated.

Learning Interactions In Flash MX

Just a quickie on the built in Learning interactions in flash MX....Does anyone know if its possible to add more 'Answers' / 'Options' to a interaction?...by default you can have up to 8 true false, drag and drop options. I have created an interaction colour wheel for an elearning application with 12 colour segments. I wish to add additional answers ie 12+?...is it possible to do so, or adapt the clip peraminters to take more questions?

Any help greatly appreciated.

[F8] Printjob With Learning Interactions
What I'm trying to accomplish is to allow the user to print all the frames in a certain section with a push of a button. E.g. one section of frames goes from frame 20 to 29; the user is on frame 25. By pushing the "print this section" button, the printer will print frames 20 through 29.

Everything works great (the right frames are printed, print area is right, static text and images print), but I have a problem with printing some learning interactions on some of the frames. The interactions just print in their initial state and they don't display the questions and feedback text in the text fields, plus the multiple choice buttons just show up as blank boxes on the paper.

Is there anyway to "start" the interactions so that they display the questions and multiple choice options? Thanks!

[CS3] Flash Learning Interactions
I am attempting to use the Flash Learning Interactions (which are really nice) but I seem unable to change the font and size of some of the elements. Specifically, I am using the multiple choice interactivity, and I can change the font and size for the dynamic text field, but not on the submit button or the checkbox label. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks. Please let me know if I should post this elsewhere, or if you know of a different way to make a multiple choice quiz (other than the built-ins) where I can control the font and size.

Help With Learning Interactions - Assets
Hello,

I am trying to create a custom application that will connect to my LMS. I have used the quiz templates and they are tracking the score, session time and whether or not the student has completed/incompleted the module.

My question is this: I would like to be able to start from scratch basically, but use the same concepts to connect to the LMS to send session time, submit score, etc.. Where do I set these variables?? I have looked within the Superclass of the learning interactions but it seems they are locked with the prioprietary quizzes located within the templates.

So what values (using variables) must I pass from my flash file to html/javascript to interact with the LMS to grab this information.

Any assistance would be great,

Sound And MMX Learning Interactions
I have using the quiz template in MMX 2004 and wanted to add sound to the Radio Buttons, but it seems like I cant do that without modifying the actionscript. Anyone ever modified the buttons in these learning interactions successfully?

Customize Learning Interactions
Hello everybody!
I have added some learning interactions directly from the common library "learning interactions" to my flash project).
I would like to know:
1) how to add a page result with the user's score
2) if I can access learning interaction's properties by action script (i.e. I have added to the stage a "Fill in the blank" interaction. Can I set the question dinamically, reading, for example, a xml file by action script or the only way to do it is editing manually the component inspector? As a matter of fact I want to develop the same e-learning project in various languages, if it is possible to set questions, answers and messages of each interaction dinamically I will save a lot of work).
Every whitepaper, article, tutorial about it would be very precious.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day

Learning Interactions Script
Using learning interactions components to create question and answer session at the end of a lesson.
I need to get at the interaction tracking values for each Q&A which will be used elsewhere.

I have found some Macromedia documentation :

Tracking properties available in the SessionArray
The property names references standard interaction tracking values for both AICC and SCORM LMS. You can retrieve an interactionâ€™s properties by referencing its location in the following command:
SessionArray[n].[property_name]

For example, to reference the interaction_ID value for interaction #1, you would use this command:
SessionArray[0].interaction_ID

To reference the result value for interaction #2, you would use this command:
SessionArray[1].result

I am not great with actionscript so can anyone help. I need to get the information read into a text field.

Attach Code

stop();
var qresult:String;
var vcheck:Button;

qresult="";

vcheck.onRelease = function (){
trace (SessionArray[0].interaction_ID);
SessionArray[0].interaction_ID==qresult;
}

Component Learning Interactions
Anybody familiar to this component and want to help me out?:-) I am trying to make an online quiz with this, but since I am norwegian and working with flash 8 (yes, I a about to upgrade to cs4 in the near future) and the norwegian alphabet has specific characters...is it possible to change the languag in the component?
Appreciate an answer:-)

Learning Interactions Help - No Buttons
Hi

I have a button that goes to Scene 9. I have told this on release button to:

gotoAndStop("Scene 9",1);

On the first frame of scene 9 I have put in a learning interaction. When I run it there are white blank spaces where the check answers should be and the reset button.

If I have a new .fla and only 1 scene and 1 frame it works fine.

I have no idea what is wrong - please help.

Learning Interactions Library
Hi,
I have several question pages I am working on using the Interactions library provided in MX. I have found pretty much everything I need to change to suit my needs, However I am lacking only one thing which I need help on to make my question pages complete.
How would a person go about adding audio to the feedback portion of the question.
I can tie in the question audio simply by making a movie clip of it & adding it to a new layer in the timeline...
However I would like to set this up when they click the button to check the answer It give you an audio response attached to whatever you think the answer should be.

EX: screen txt----No that is not correct should have the same audio. "No that is not correct" & so on & so forth,,,,

I really would like to get this audio in there with the Learning Interaction if at all possible. I really like the ease of use provided by this feature...as opposed to just setting up a screen from scratch.

Any advise tossed my direction would be greatly appreciated!

Learning Interactions W/ Flash MX
I am building a Learning Object for an instructor at a college I work at. I would like to use the built-in Learning Interactions (Window >> Common Libraries >> Learning Interactions) to have some multiple choice questions and some fill-in-the blank questions for students to fill out. A select few of the students responses would be sent to the instructor via e-mail. What is an easy way I can do this? I assume I would need to store the results in my Flash movie some how, and then I'd need a external file to handle sending the e-mail to the instructor, but I'm not sure how to do these. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Learning Interactions Library
Have been looking at using this library it's fullest extent to offer viewers a different way to look at their quizes other than just a simple true false or multiple choice.

They appear to be easy enough to edit & input your own questions & such through the components parameters panel.

I was even able to get the navigation to work & do what I wanted.

EXCEPT---I have 2 drag & drop questions. I can't seem to get them to work by putting them in the same clip, although they seem to work ok seperately. I'm assuming it has something to do with the way the files are named & that the script to make it work is buried deeper than just the top layer. But I'm really not sure.

I really need to do these back to back on the same clip, any suggestions?

Thanks!

Learning Interactions (2004 Pro)
OK, so nobody had an answer for me regarding my quiz question for Flash MX 2004 Professional.

I discovered that the Quiz template was actually easier to use than I thought, so I took that route in solving my problem. But it uncovered another issue. After creating a quiz app, I want to load the .swf into a base.swf movie. When I tried it, the movie didn't work. Only the first screen showed up. None of the question screens were available.

Is there something about the quiz template that doesn't allow it to be loaded into other movies?

I really want the quiz to show up on top of another movie on a loadMovie script. Please help!

Modifying Learning Interactions
Is it possible to modify the learning interactions? Specifically, I would like to be able to use the drag & drop learning interactions with 16 matched drags & drops rather than just 8, but still have the autofeedback option available for all 16.
