Dispatched when this question's 'Clear' button is pressed. Depending on what your Question Widget does, clearing it may mean any number of things.

In responding to this event, you should code your widget so that it restores the question to its initial state. For example: In a drag and drop widget, you would move all draggable items back to their starting positions.

Dispatched when the user reviews the quiz and reaches this Question Widget. It is dispatched once for each Answer in the Answer List. This event is dispatched regardless of whether the question was answered correctly or incorrectly.

You can access the properties of the Answer object through the QuestionWidgetEvent object that is passed into the function.

        
        addEventListener(QuestionWidgetEvent.COMPARE_ANSWERS, onCompareAnswer);
        
           function onCompareAnswer (event:QuestionWidgetEvent):void {
           trace(event.answerID);
           trace(event.correctAnswer);
           trace(event.chosenAnswer);
        }
        
        

You need to enter an answerID when you create an Answer object, because otherwise, there would be no way to identify the current answer from any others that were in the Answer List.

Dispatched when your interactivity should be turned off.

This event is dispatched after the question has been answered. It's dispatched again when the Question Widget is being reviewed.

DISABLE_ANSWERS has a matching event of ENABLE_ANSWERS, which is dispatched when the interactivity for the widget should be turned on. Ideally, these events should cancel each other out, meaning that Captivate could enable or disable the question as many times as it needs, and still result in no error.

Dispatched when your interactivity should be turned on.

This event usually fires at the point when the question appears on screen. It is considered better practice in the case of Question Widgets to use ENABLE_ANSWERS than ENTER_RUNTIME. The reason for this recomendation is that ENABLE_ANSWERS has a matching event of DISABLE_ANSWERS, which is dispatched when the interactivity for the widget should be turned off. Ideally, these events should cancel each other out, meaning that Captivate could enable or disable the question as many times as it needs, and still result in no error.

Dispatched when any native Captivate question type or Question Widget is submitted. With this event you can also read information about the quiz setup through the quizData property.

This event can be listened to by Static and Interactive Widgets, not just Question Widgets.

Dispatched when the 'Submit' button is pressed. This event is fired just before the question's results are sent off to Captivate.
