Hi, i was trying to create a crossword in captivate with Text entry boxes and a button that check all the values in the tebs.

Now, sometimes it work and show me the correct message (giusto_8) and sometimes any if all the value are right is show me the wrong message. It seems a random thing. Any help?

    I only want to do this simple crossword, the user complete it and click on button "Conferma", if it's right then appear the correct message and the project continue, else appear incorrect message and the user can redo the crossword. I watched the elb crossword but i don't understand too much, i tried the validation of the TEB's but i don't know to use it and i want only a button that check all TEB's and scho the correct or incorrect message. my problem is, as you can see, that some letters are not recorded and i can't explain why. I do some test and i notice that if you do the crossword clicking the boxes and without the use of "tab" button it record all letters.

    You may not realize it but you just confirmed my suspicion. This ' the user can redo the crossword.' !!! is a not so easy to realize workflow. That was the reason for my question. Resetting and clearing a TEB is not an easy workflow, I used it as an example in my presentations about the Timeline:

    I have a meeting coming up, will try to figure out a workflow that is easy to use and understand but it will be later on. You can already watch that movie. Do not underestimate the power of advanced/shared actions, I have about 10 years experience with them for clients and complicated use cases. You'll find some games on my blog as well. Here is a recent one:

    Or do you want to play?

    Hi Daniel,

    Suggestion:

    You might consider checking out the Adobe Captivate Asset Library.  Under the Templates section look for Games.

    You'll find a Crossword  Puzzle template.  Depending on your version of Adobe Captivate (9 or 2017) it might offer some insight as to how this one works once downloaded.  That information could possibly assist you with yours.

     

    Thanks

      I used the "insert variables" command to see the value that are in the teb's and now i can see which variables aren't registred

      Is the only reason for checking the result to show the correct/incorrect message? In that case you could simplify a lot by using the validation feature of the TEB's. Before I try to explain, answer my question about the use of the result checking. It makes no sense to find a simple solution if later on you tell that you want to do more with it, as so often happens with quetions.

      You can check the games in eLB, but often I am not very impressed by their advanced actions, my bad. They are too convoluted to my taste.

      Did you change the sequence and can you post the Preview of the full action? How do you test?  After publishing or in Preview? Which preview? Which output do you want?  Are those TEB's validated or not? What is their setup? You give too little details, which may explain why no one sees a solution.

      Not enough information, but I would never choose your sequence of commands: first Hide, then Show and as last Continue. Why do you release the playhead?

      It is a conditional action, what is in the ELSE part? Please use the Preview button to show the complete action. That is the first buttton in the top right control panel, looks like an arrow. More info in:
