what am i doing wrong?

Hey, I am trying to create a custom fill-in-the-blank question with multiple blanks. To test things out, I started with two TEBs. First of all, I created two variable to keep the points per blank (v_points) and the score in total (v_scoreNow). I gave both of them 0 value. After creating those two TEBs (Text_Entry_Box_2 and 3, I didn't bother to rename them for now), I entered "correct one" to validate user input for the first blank, and "correct" for the second blank just to test things out. I made a submit button and entered this advanced action in there with 3 decisions:

But it doesn't work somehow.

    You don't use a validation in that case, just the action to check. I asked about the confirmation because a validatet TEB is only checked when the entry is confirmed by the Submit button (which you probably do not use) or the assigned shortcut.

    What do you want to do with the score? If the TEB was validated, it was possible to add a score to the TEB (Reporting part) and on Success with the validation that score would automatically be added to the total score which is stored in the read-only system variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored.

    Yep, as soon as I type in the second box (it doesn't matter which one) the slide continues. And it won't count my points.

    Hello !...

    Take care with the use of the "... " (You put some in the 1st action and none in the second)

    Try to put a text field with the variable on your screen : $$v_scoreNow$$ so you will see if it increments as you want !...

    And you don't tell us exactly what's not working !!...

    Have good time with Cpt !...

    Je m'excuse, mais il n'y a pas de problèmes de parenthèses. Ils sont automatiquement ajoutés par Captivate si le 'literal' a plus d'un mot.

    In English:

    Do not bother about the quote marks: they are added automatically by Captivate when you have two or more words, they are not needed for one word. It is about the way variables are treated by Captivate, will not elaborate about it.

    In fact on your last screenshots they are "T_E_B_2" and "T_E_B_3" !!...

    Oops, you're right there Le Dirlo. I'm correcting it now but I know it won't correct what's wrong with my advanced action.

    Do you validate the TEB's? If yes, how is the entry confirmed?

    Yeah, I validate both of them, first of them with "correct one", the second one with "correct". And it doesn't even allow me to type in the second box, as soon as I type in one of these boxes the slide continues.
