Custom failure caption for text entry box

New Here ,
Sep 09, 2016 Sep 09, 2016

I'm having some issues with text entry boxes in captivate 9. I'm trying to create a custom response to an incorrect answer--> rather than having the incorrect text caption pop up, I'd like to have an image and a button show, as well as an audio file play. 

For example: I want an image of a character to pop up at the same time as an audio file that says "that's not right" begins to play. I also want a "hint" button       to show in response to an incorrect answer. How can I do this? Please help!

I would try swapping the standard feedback captions with Smart Shapes, and use the Image as an Image fill for the relevant feedback shape.  You can attach a sound to the feedback shape so that the sound will play when the shape appears.  The Incorrect caption can be formatted as you want to make it look like a Hint.  Change the text that appears as needed also.

Thanks for your response,

How exactly would I swap the feedback captions with Smart Shapes? (Sorry, I'm quite new to this all).

Also, 

is it impossible to accomplish all of this using advanced actions? I tried   attaching a conditional action to the text entry box that checks to see if the text that the user   i n p u t s  i s   c o r r e c t , but it seems like the "validate user  input " function   i s   a l r e a d y                     doing this...  So when I try to execute the   a d v a n c e d   a c t i o n   " o n   s u c c e s s " ,   " o n   s u c c e s s "  se ems to imply that the users input in this case  a l r e a d y   m a t c h e s   mine.             Th    us, an adva nced actio                     n that attempts to check if  t h e   u s e r ' s   i n p u t is correct doesn' t   w ork... 

Am I right about this? Is there any way around th is?

Yes, it is possible with advanced actions, but more cumbersome. In that case you do not validate the TEB, since you will be using only the Success action. with a conditional action you'll show the success or failure items you want. Beware: when writing the condition you have to be aware of the fact that you cannot turn off case sensitivity as is possible when using the default validation for a TEB. Second drawback: if you want to attach a score, it will not be as easy as when you use the default behavior of the TEB.
