Question

Input Text field Refresh issue

We have a set of captivate movies that include a Restart button at the end, with a Jump to Slide 1 action. The problem is the movie doesn't refresh one or more of the text input fields used in the captivate file. So when the user has already entered the required text, then chooses to restart the demo, the text input field remains filled in, rather than refreshing. Does is have to do with the browser window not closing, just the flash file restarting? If so, is there a simple way to force the movie to refresh so the text input fields reset automatically?

    Hi d_orange

    If you are simply moving to slide 1, the way you would want to do this is by reloading the movie. So instead of your button jumping to slide 1, just have it point to a URL and restart the movie that way. Beyond that, there is no way to blank the fields. As you have seen, once they have been interacted with, they retain the values entered. But if the movie reloads, they should be fresh.

    Cheers... Rick
