Hi all

I'm testing my Adobe Captivate 2, when it comes to testing the text entry box using the wrong key it crashes. I have set the box shortcut to Enter key, I've allowed the user one attempt and on failer it should go to next slide. What happens now is if the user press the tab key for instance instead of Enter then no response and nothing happens, where one would expect it to go to the next slide, apparently the failer action only response correctley if someone mistype the text.

Can any one help please
Many thanks

Hi Captrainer

Sorry my friend. You are misunderstanding the way the failure and success work with this beastie. So you have defined Enter as the correct trigger. All this tells Captivate is that when the user presses the Enter key , compare what they typed against what you were expecting. THEN, if it doesn't match, a failure is considered to have occurred. Pressing Tab will likely just highlight some part of your Captivate movie.

Cheers... Rick
