Adding multiple text entries

I tried to understand how captivate total amounts entered by a user. for example, if I want to that they enter how much they spend per month in different budget categories and then add up the amounts. How I do that? I've set up variables for about 3 Articles test and then tried to write a tip action to add the numbers but could not get it for the sum of two of the three points.

I used assignment: Estimatedsum (variable) = category 1 (variable) + category 2

but then it does not give me the ability to add more vaiables, should I add a new line. What Miss me?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Jessica,.

What version of Captivate you use 4 or 5?

Advanced actions are executed sequentially from top to bottom (and for conditional actions in CP5, decisions are executed from left to right).

So, if you need to calculate a total to be stored in a v_sum variabel and you have 4 terms, stored in the variables v_term1, v_term2, v_term3, v_term4 you need a tip with 3 statements action (this is in the terminology of CP5)

  • Expression v_sum = v_term1 + v_term2
  • Expression v_sum = v_sum + v_term3
  • Expression v_sum = v_sum + v_term4
After execution of this tip action, you will have the total stored in v_sum

  • Multiple text entry boxes

    Can I get help with text input boxes?  I have a slide where I want the student to enter some multiples of two numbers.  On my blade, I put five text entry boxes.  I wonder what values are correct for the boxes, and I put 8,12,24,12,18, respectively.  I don't know how to proceed after that.  Can I put a single button "Enter" so that the answers will be verified?  If the answers are false, he will tell the student who are wrong?

    Use the variables created by the user for responses - such as v_8, v_12, v_24, v_8, v_18?

    Using variables created by the user allow me to activate Advanced Actions, depending on whether the answers are good or bad and bring them to the next slide in the series if they are correct, or have them redo this slide or to examine multiple if they are incorrect?

    I just want to understand how it goes together.  Thank you.

    Indeed, the value that was inserted in the TEB will be displayed, even if you clear the value of the associated variable. You need a widget for this.

    It is not possible to explain the workflow in a forum, sorry.

  • CP9: Multiple text entry boxes - 1 Submit button

    Hello

    I have several text entry areas (TEBs) and send button 1.

    Each TEB I have a:

    • input variable of text from the user - v_teb1 (associated with the ETB).
    • Variable for the correct answer - v_teb1_ans (do this way because I want to reuse the action advanced)

    I created an advanced action (assigned to the "submit" button) to check the entry of user against the answers.

    So if the answer was 'Home' or 'House' - how can I test for it - create two response variables - "v_teb1_ans_a", "v_teb1_ans_b".

    Is there an easier way?

    Also with "Validation of the user" are the "correct entered" used only with 'Success' and display the success, legends of the failure

    that is when submit button displayed for each TEB, auto-submit is enabled, the Enter button is used?

    Concerning

    Donal.

    Donal salvation,

    This is the problem with the validation of a TEB entry using a tip action, there is no way to disable the distinction uppercase / lowercase. It will be possible if you use JS to change the answer to all the capitals before checking it in.

    I do not understand your last question, sorry? Entered correct are used if you post a BER, but in your case the validation is made only after all the TEB were used, right?

  • Slide auto is using of multiple text entry boxes once the user enters two of the six answers

    I have several areas set up on a slide text entry.  The user must enter the answer in each text box.  And even though I have properties of all TEB "break from legends of success or failure", auto slide advance once the user enters only two of the six responses.  I thought that perhaps insert a click box and setting ' to pause until the user clicks on "would resolve the issue... but it is not.  Here's a screenshot of what my slide looks like and a screenshot of the properties that I set myself for each TEB.  Can someone help me please?  I need all six TEB to complete before moving to the next slide.

    TEBs.PNG

    TEB properties 1.PNG

    TEB properties 2.PNG

    The most important screenshot is missing: chronology. Where are the pausings for the TEB?

    You can start by changing the Actions on the success and the last attempt: they are both set to Continue, which means the playhead will be published immediately after a good response and after exhausting attempts in case of wrong answers. Set them to any Action.

    No Submit button? Only shortcut key entry for each TEB?

  • Several radio buttons from multiple text entry text box.

    Once more, I find myself asking for help.

    I have a form with a lot of questions. Answers are derived radio buttons which, in turn, are displayed in the text boxes associated with each group of option buttons. This part. that I don't have a problem.

    I want to make is that all of these responses are also displayed in a text box 'Total' separate in order to give an overview of the results of the form.


    The problem I have is that I get only 1 answer in my text box 'Total' and that while it is replaced at the next RB is selected in the following selection of questions and answers.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Raffé.

    Hi Raffé,

    If you want to view all selections made in the option buttons in the total field, you can directly all of the above as a concatenation of string like this.

    Total.rawValue = Radiobutton1.rawValue + 'some delimiter as the comma, hyphen if you want to' + radiobutto2.rawValue + etc...

    Remember that the total field shouldn't of TextField NumericField.

    Thank you

  • Captivate 9 - text entry area - cannot navigate through the input of text boxes on the same slide using enter key (works only tab)

    I designed a slide that has 3 areas of text entry.

    I need the user to be able to type in their response to the first box and then press the ENTER key, it will pass them in the next text box. After typing in their response to the second box, press ENTER, and then have developed pass to the third area.

    I don't want to use tab, I want to go to work as a shortcut key, so this works well on all devices. It feels like a trip to the logic of the user.

    I removed the button SUBMIT and check the validate user input.

    I put the shortcut key to ENTER in propriety / Actions area

    However, after that type in an answer and pressing on enter, the focus is not moved in the input text box available at the following address on the same blade.

    This happens regardless of browser (tested Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and IE9/10) and also OS - Windows 7, Mac OSX 10.9, 10.10 and latest version of iOS

    Only the tab key works (Ive even tried with other keyboard shortcuts and it always comes back to TAB).

    I know that this feature is possible in Captivate 9. I have read and watched many tutorials online, it seems a very basic feature. I could be wrong.

    This is a feature of wholesale/known or I'm doing something wrong.

    If a bug, is there a plan to fix it soon?

    Indeed, your problem is related to the Enter key as a shortcut key, not to have multiple TEB and one absolutely validation button. Take a look at this article very old (you are not the first to ask about this):

  • Using ALT + _ with text entry

    Hello

    I'm trying to use the shortcut Alt + A for multiple text entry boxes, but I can't seem to validate. As I looked for a solution, I found this thread (where someone has tried to use ALT with clickboxes) where Adobe has responded:

    The problem is with actionscript 3. It sends no 'Alt' keydown messages for event listeners in actionscript inside the browser. In actionscript 2, there is a utility class named "Key", which has since been removed in Actionscript3. With the help of the 'Key' class we could determine if the 'Alt' key is pressed in AS2. Now that we have lacked the means. »

    Does this mean that I can't use ALT as a shortcut?

    I use CP5, edition of an exe on a windows machine 7.

    Thank you!

    I'm afraid that the answer is Yes.  Several keystrokes are problematic in this way.  You will need to find another shortcut to use.

  • Reveal the correct answer in the text entry box

    Hello

    I am a novice Captivate user (Version 5) and I would like to ask for help on the following question:

    I need to have a screen with multiple text entry boxes. When entering text in each box and confirm by pressing "enter", learners only need not comments correct and incorrect, but also the correct text in the text entry box. Is this possible?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I searched for an easier solution, if you can live with the fact that the user must follow a certain sequence of complete ETB.

    • create as many slides (duplicates) that you need text input boxes + more to show the final result after the last TEB has been filled
    • on the first slide, the user fills out the first BER; choose these settings:
      • validate user input so that correct legend of success or failure appears
      • do not turn on "keep the text.
      • Choose "Go to the next slide" as well for success with regard to the action of the failure
      • write the properties of the ETB: character (police/size/color), size and position
    • on the second slide, you will make the second TEB with the same settings.
      • Create a rectangle with the same size and position of the TEB on first slide; do the 1pt STROKE and black and white, the fill value or if you have a white background, you can simply set Alpha to 0%: this rectangle will be to mimic the BER of the first slide
      • in this rectangle, you can put the text (double click - No need to caption text): put in the correct answer with the same font as in the ETB properties; given the right answer appear as well to correct regarding the wrong answer, it will be OK
    • on the third blade, you do the same to mimic the second TEB and you put the third TEB

    Really think it's the best way, no use of variables and advanced actions. The user will see the legend of failure or success, and then to the next slide with the right answer.

  • How to design own graphic interface for text entry

    Hello world

    I use the black background in my application and I would like to create my own custom controls which looks nice on a black background.

    For text input, I managed to create an entry of text with white background and black fonts. But I couldn't make the field to be a little larger than the text nor I was able to focus the State field.

    Code:

    public class CSTextField extends BasicEditField {}

    public {CSTextField()}

    Super (Field.FOCUSABLE |) Field.EDITABLE);

    }

    protected void paint (Graphics g) {}

    g.setBackgroundColor (Color.WHITE);

    g.setColor (Color.WHITE);

    g.fillRoundRect (0, 0, super. getWidth(), super. getHeight(), 5, 5);

    g.setColor (Color.GRAY);

    g.drawRoundRect (0, 0, super. getWidth(), super. getHeight(), 5, 5);

    g.setColor (Color.BLACK);

    Super.paint (g);

    }

    }

    See here: http://liechti-fotografie.ch/share/textfield.png

    Do you have an idea how realize that the focus is visible and the text field seems good?

    Thank you

    Do not design your own text input field - build a Manager around it that meets your needs.

    Here's an example of how this can be done:

    A scrolling line text entry field

    Read the comments - there are a few examples here on adding borders. I don't think you need boundaries, but they can give you ideas on how to position the fields in order to create some padding between the text and the surrounding black background.  You seem to be advanced enough to be able to easily change the code corresponding to your needs.

    Good luck!

  • CP9: Text entry box: Lost Focus displayed when you click Submit

    Hello

    I seem to have problems with my text entry areas (TEBs).

    Sometimes, these problems do not appear all the time.

    Later a being that when I click on the button the Focus Lost text caption is displayed.

    I came across the question when you work on a project, so I decided to 3 slides project to test.

    1 BER on the screen.

    • Success goes to the next slide.
    • Failure displays caption built-in failure.
    • Focus Lost shows a text caption.

    Slides mask lost Focus of text caption at the entrance.

    No advanced actions.

    Timeline shows just TEB and lost legend for Focus text.

    CP9 TEB Focus Lost.jpg

    CP9, project that is unresponsive (a new project - only 3 slides), project preview & Preview in the browser. have not yet published.

    I deleted the slide and added a new slide.

    I deleted the cache and reset the preferences.

    Concerning

    Donal.

    The way you described the configuration and screenshots, it seems to be behaving exactly as it should.

    I was expecting to see THE text caption every time that you click the submit button.

    Should the lost Focus event fires when the cursor was placed in field ETB and then you move outside this field and click on anything, which of course would include by clicking on the button submit of the BER itself.

    So far I don't see any bug or issue here.  Can you describe what you think that SHOULD be the case?

  • How can I add a text entry to Animate 2014.1.1 Board box

    I just need a text of entry in my site Edge box animate.

    Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    I added a text box to the stage called 'InputTxt '.

    In the composition of the Stadium ready event, I added the code below...

    txtInput var = sym.$("InputTxt");

    txtInput.html("00");

    inputAttribs = $('<input_/>').attr ({'type': 'text', 'value': ", 'id': 'Enter'});

    inputAttribs.css ({'font-size': 28, 'text-align': 'center', 'at the frontier":"4px solid","height":"50px","width":"50px","color":"#CCC"});

    inputAttribs.appendTo (txtInput);

    When I saw the site in Chrome, I can't enter anything in the input text box.

    Hello

    (1) your last line does not work: inputAttribs.appendTo(txtInput);

    Because the 'appendTo()' function is not available here: API JavaScript Adobe Edge animate CC

    But you saw the "append()" function by looking at the previous link (edge API).

    (2) on the function of ". attr()": you're wrong.

    Note: jQuery not allowed to change the type attribute on a or

    Therefore, you can try this code:

    SYM.$("InputTxt").html ("");

    txtInput var = sym.$("InputTxt");

    var inputTag = '';

    txtInput.append (inputTag);

    SYM. $("#Input") .css ({'font-size': 28, 'text-align': 'center', 'at the frontier":"4px solid","height":"50px","width":"50px","color":"#CCC"});

    Another idea (shortcut):

    SYM. $("InputTxt") .html (")');

    SYM. $("#Input") .css ({'font-size': 28, 'text-align': 'center', 'at the frontier":"4px solid","height":"50px","width":"50px","color":"#CCC"});

    Can I create multiple dynamic entries during execution?

    Oracle 11g

    Here's my problem:
    We have a table that contains metadata about the files (paper or electronic).
    We hope that we can need more columns in the table at some point and do not want to change the table or the application.

    So to do this I would like to create:

    A table called TBL_FILE with columns:
    NUMBER of TBL_FILE_ID (this will be the primary key)
    TBL_FILE_NAME VARCHAR2 (1000) (this will be the name of the file)

    A second table will be called TBL_FILE_META with columns:
    NUMBER of TBL_META_ID (this will be the primary key)
    NUMBER of TBL_FILE_ID (this will be the key to forign to the files table)
    TBL_META_COLUMN VARCHAR2 (30) (this is what would be the name of the column if it existed in TBL_FILE)
    TBL_META_VALUE VARCHAR2 (1000) (this is the value of this record and the column "would be")

    If a person can have as many meta data in the file to add columns to the table.
    The problem is how can I allow users to add as much data as they wish with them having to re develop page.

    Other things to note is that we would like this be on one page.
    I know how to add we can create inserts several rows using a SQL (editable report).
    However the TBL_META_VALUE in the TBL_FILE_META column will sometimes be a selection list and other times one text box or a numeric field.
    So I don't see now a SQL (editable report) would work for this and I can't create a table of elements on the page running I can?

    No idea how I might accomplish this? Is there a better way to do this?

  • Text entry boxes: how to align the text

    I'm not loving the certificaate widget in Captivate 5 I decided to create my own background image landscape certificate. I added all the text of the certificate to the image so users only things have to do when the lesson of Captivate viewing is enter their name and the date in the text entry boxes. The problem I have is that I do not see a Format tab where I can line up text as I can for areas of legend. Now the names and dates entered by using the text input boxes are entered as left aligned while the background text on the certificate is centered.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    No possibility of alignment in one TextBox entry, sorry. But why not replace it with TextArea Widget? There you have all the possibilities of formatting and if necessary, can be associated with a variable.
