Question

Can you trigger a image display from a text entry box with length of text?

I have a text entry box and learner will type in about 40 characters. Learner types in text but does not submit it. Then learner clicks a button that triggers moving to the next page.

Client wants to have an image appear after learner types text but before clicking the button.

I thought about extending the time line and displaying image on time, but I don't know how long the time line should be.  Any suggestions for another way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

    I know there needs to be some kind of trigger, but was hoping for a way that might use the timeline or a variable to accomplish this.

    This can be done with HTML5 output easy enough. You attach a variable change eventlistener to the variable, when it reaches a certain length, show an image.

    David, there is not a specific length, how can you use an eventlistener in that case?

    How can Captivate know that the learner has finished typing if there is no action from the learner to indicate he finished, that is why clicking on the Submit button or using a shortcut key is necessary. I don't understand really what you want, maybe I misunderstand.
