Hello,
I have a strange issue in Captivate.
I am using a hidden “Text Entry Box” as an option on a slide, using the “Default Text” value as a variable. In a button “Execute Advanced Actions”, I checked this value and do an action if it is 0 or another action is it is 1. It works fine for the button.
But if I try to do the same check in a script executed at slide startup (“On Enter” configured with “Execute Advanced Actions”), then I have no result. After some checks, it seems that the value of the “Text Entry Box” is not initialized. Is this a bug? Does anyone know how to deal with this?
Regards
I try to understand your problem, which would be easier with some screenshots.
Text Entry Boxes can be very tricky, because resetting them with an action on the same slide is often not happening.
Do you really need a TEB because of its validating/scoring features? If not, it would be a lot easier to use a Scrolling Text Interaction which doesn’t have the same quircky behavior. Maybe have a look at:
