Scrolling text box interaction shows 'false' instead of the text I have pasted into it. Can anyone help?

I have a Captivate 7 project now updating in Captivate 8. I insert a scrolling text box interaction to display for the rest project and when I preview it the interaction shows 'false' instead of the text I have pasted into it.

Interaction has been updated couple of months ago, not the same anymore.

Did you define the associated variable? You can now control the display in

the interaction by changing the variable using an (advanced/shared) action.

Did you try to recreate it in 8?

I use an advanced action on buttons to show and hide the text box as part of a grouped item. This works fine if inserted into a project started in Captivate 8. It is only in projects created in 6 or 7 that I am having a problem.

Did you understand my answer? Interaction has been updated. But this cannot

have any impact on show/hiding. Can you post more details?

I have a 20 slide project which was created in Captivate 6 or 7 which I am now updating in Captivate 8. (This is one in a series of 12 projects and I do not intend to recreate the whole 12 in Captivate 8 just to get this to work.) I have inserted a scrolling text box and grouped it with a button and a smart object. It is set to rest of project since I need to see this on a number of slides accessed by a button with an advanced action. When I preview the project the text in the box does not show.

This all works fine if the project is created in Captivate 8. It is only showing 'false' if the project is from Captivate 6 or 7 and now opened in Captivate 8. I also note that I can't double click on the widget. I must click on the pencil icon in the properties panel.
