Insert a question widget slide
You can insert question widgets created as SWF files in Flash into Adobe Captivate. Developers creating the question
widget in Flash must use a template code for efficient integration of the question widget into Adobe Captivate. For
more information, see “Create question widgets” on page 119.
1 Select Insert > Widget.
2 In the Open dialog box, select the question widget that you want to insert.
3 In the Widget Question dialog box, do the following:
1 In the Name field, enter a name for the widget.
2 In the Question field, enter the question.
3 Assign the points that should be awarded to the user who answers the question correctly.
4 Follow the instructions in the Widget Parameters section to create the question.

Question pools and random questions
Create a random question slide
Random question slides display questions that are randomly selected from a question pool to which they are linked.
These slides help avoid quiz predictability. Random question slides do not have a Timeline of their own but use the
timing of the question slide chosen at run time.
You can use the following features to make your work easier and faster when working with question pools:
• Questions can be dragged across pools inside the Question Pools Manager.
• Questions can be copied and pasted within the Question Pools Manager.
• Questions can be locked, unlocked, hidden, and shown from within the Question Pools Manager by using the menu
options.
• Make changes to the question directly on stage. To edit the quiz properties, use the Quiz panel.
Random question slides cannot be exported into Flash 8 or Flash CS3.
Question pools cannot be exported into XML.
1 Select Quiz > Random Question Slide.
2 In the Quiz panel, do the following in the General area:
• Select type as Survey or Graded.
• (If type is Graded) In the Points box, type a number or use the arrows to assign a point value. The range is 0 - 100.
• From the Question Pool menu, select the pool from which the question will be randomly selected.
• Click Add Questions to add additional questions to the pool that you selected.
