Initializing a Text Entry Box (TEB) with a User Variable

Hi all, has anyone come across a way to initialize a Text Entry Box with the value of the user variable that is connected to it? I noticed that if you enter a value and advance to another Slide in the project and then go back the value from the user variable is present as the default text. I have a case where I read in content from a SharedObject into the user variable that I would like presented in a TEB so that the user could update the value. Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated,

Fergal

    Thanks to Jim Leichliter, the widget he developed for this very purpose has now been upgraded to work with Captivate 5. The link to it is included below,

    I found the widget useful. Unfortunately, I am unable to use it, because it seems to break screen resizing. If I included the widget in my project, when the final output was viewed, the video would suddenly resize to full-size, even if that meant most of the video was unviewable in the browser window. Without the widget - no problem.
