Question

Another text entry box question

Hi,

I've got a simulation e-learning module which I developed in Captivate 4.  A number of slides contain text entry boxes with a prompt for the user to type in specified text and then press [Enter] to proceed to the next slide.

The problem is that some of my users are reporting that if they start typing in the text entry box, then click outside of the box, they are then unable to proceed, no matter how many times they hit [Enter].  My Text Entry box is set up as follows:

Retain Text: Yes

Correct Entries: specified

On success: Go to next slide

Allow user 4 attempts

Afer last attempt: Go to next slide

Current Shortcut: Enter

Pause after 1.5 seconds [What does this do?]

Validate User Input: Yes

Pause for success/failure captions: Yes

I don't use success/failure/hint captions and I don't want to use any sort of button to validate entry and proceed.  So, any ideas what's going wrong?

Thanks!

    Hi,

    Is the issue always reproducible?

    Select the Text Entry Box for which you face this issue, go to properties> Advanced and make sure that "On focus lost" is set to "No Action".

    By the way, Which ActionScript version are you using (AS2/AS3).

    Hope this helps,

    Ravi Kishore

    Hi Ravi,

    Thanks for your response.  The "on focus lost" is set to "No action" and the AS version is AS2.  If it helps I think the problem is actually related to people navigating back to a slide that has a text entry box on it (my e-learning modules allow people to navigate back to previous slides).  So, for now, I've disabled the back buttons where a back button would lead you back to a slide containing a TEB.

    Does this make sense?

    Thanks.
