Captivate 8: (the text input box Question)

Similar Questions

• Using the text input box (character limits)

  Hey guys, I come to you once again a simple question this time hopefully. I use areas of text entry receipts Records of users that appears on a slide via the legend using the "$$TextEntered$ $" method. However, I have noticed that with my text entry boxes, for a reason, even if I type in 20 characters in the main entry text box, only a maximum of 15 appear in the legend of $$ $$TextEntered. Any ideas on how to increase this number of characters?

  You set the number of characters at the time wherever you need to insert the variable in the legend.  If you add just $$ at both ends of the name of the variable in the legend, then you haven't seen the dialog box allowing you to specify the number of characters allowed.

  Remove the text in your legend display and insert the variable, but this time click the Insert Variable in a few insignificant appearance, provided in the text caption properties tab.

  

• text input box question

  I am very new to Flash, and I'm not a programmer, so I hope you people can help me with some basic stuff.

  I have a text box of entry named txtNe2 where a user types an answer to a question. I want to evaluate the response when the user press the button ENTER and respond by sending the film to the image of "Ne2C" or part of "Ne2I" (for the answer to the good or incorect response).

  How do I do that?

  Thank you very much

  You start with an event listener that listens to a key shot.

  input_test_name.addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown)

  Then, you treat the event with:

  function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {    if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER)  {          ---Make decison about which frame to advance to----     }}
  
  See the earlier reply about how to make this decision.
  

• Adobe Captivate 8 - responses of synchronization in the text entry box

  I would like to limit the time to answer a question using the text entry area, but there is no option in the properties of the input box. I know that I can use the question slides (short answer) because they have an option of limitation in time, but not much can be changed there design wise so I need to use the text entry box.

  You can use the hourglass interaction or the time. It allows you to display a message and go to another slide when the time is up. However, if you are talking about seconds, it is not very accurate.

• Captivate: Keep the cursor in the text entry box

  I would limit the cursor on the input text in a slide area, regardless of where the user can click.

  I am doing a project of training for an application interface text, and I simulate the application entry field by placing a unique text on the slide entry box.  Although the cursor starts in this field when the slide is displayed, if the user can use the mouse to click anywhere but the text entry box, the cursor disappears and the user can enter data until he or she clicks on the text with the mouse input box.  This problem occurs in both the preview and the. Output of the EXE.

  I tried to activate and deactivate the 'click' option under select key... in the parameters text box properties.  I also tried setting the action on the lost update to allow for the text control, or make her display a legend that says "click in the area of selection."  Apparently, remove the cursor of the box isn't enough to trigger the event "has lost the Focus.

  While this isn't a complete show-stopper, it is an irritation that I'd rather not have my users deal with.

  I am using Captivate 4 v4.0.1 build 1658.

  Thanks for any help you can give...

  Hello

  I was able to do the following.

  Insert a box click programmed object to go to the last slide when you click it.

  Insert a text entry box and configure it so that it does not keep the text.

  Insert a blank slide just before the slide with the TEB, then once it is longs.1 seconds. You should also give the same origin as the slide with the TEB. Otherwise, you will see a 'flash', as the previous slide is visited.

  The way this works is that the user clicks anywhere but the BER and transport action click on box to the previous slide. But this slide is really super short. .1 second if it is visited and the read head again enters the slide with the TEB.

  One thing to be aware of, is that if you plan to view the Captivate 'as a whole', which means that you have no idea what browser is used to view it, you must consider the insertion of a button object on the first slide that requires the user to click on it. This way is is moved to the Flash sitting inside the browser object.

  See you soon... Rick

• Help with text input boxes

  I am relatively new to Captivate 7.  I am doing a project which has a couple of slides with text input boxes (TEBs).  They are not marked nor part of the graduate quiz.  They are more like knowledge-check questions as we go through the course.  How to make sure that they are filled before moving on to the next slide?  Is it possible to go about this?  The other thing is exactly how a submit button for this work?  I did an overview of my project and the submit button doesn't seem to be something.  Help, please.

• 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 can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

  For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

  I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

  I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

• The text entry boxes reset

  Scenario:
  I am using branching. When they get to the end of a branch and click the close button (click the button), it loops back to the start screen where they can try again, using a different path.
  
  Problem:
  When I click on the close button, it goes back to the start screen - but captivate seems to remember what I did the first time and the fillings in my boxes of text from my previous attempt.
  
  Is there a way to reset the screen when I get back? I'm not familiar with javascript, so I don't know if there's some code avaible that.
  
  Thanks - any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Your information are a little sparse, so let me rephrase your question and tell us where I'm wrong, OK?

  You generate output SWF in Captivate 1.0.1. On the last slide in the project, you placed a click-box or is configured to return to the slide #1 the movie even when the user clicks the button. The problem is that - after his return to the slide #1 to start again - the "answers" to the text entry boxes are already completed, and you don't want them to be. Your knowledge of Java-script is limited, so any solution that involves this language should be gradual. Subject of law?

  I'm not an expert in Java-script is but to refresh the data, you must refresh the movie. One way of doing that would be to access the URL for the film (HTM document) instead of jumping to a previous slide. Have you tried? Another way using the command Refresh () - Java-script, but should do the trick for you - experiment a bit to see if it will work if the idea of "jump to URL" will not do for you.

• Is there a fix for the icons in the text entry box yet?

  The box where you type what you want to say feels super crowded, now that they have decided to transform the icon of the trombone in four separate icons. It is quite difficult to read what you write when there is also a small space to write. Has anyone found a way to reverse the icons separated without reverting to an older version of Skype?

  As soon as you start typing in the chat window, four distinct icons should reduce the paperclip icon.

  Hello

  http://gumbo.flashhub.NET/keyboard/

  It is a small example of a 'virtual' keyboard that will enter the text into a textinput/textarea component selected. Capslock and shift key States really aren't quite right (really need control shift/cap lock combo), but there is a simple tab and backspace (delete) and enter the function key.

  hope this is useful

• Quote from validation in the text entry box

  Hi all
  
  I want to validate content beginning and ending with the stock symbol in the text entry box, the user must type it just quotes ("'") in the input text box. So I need to validate the content of the user with quotes
  
  For example. Let take text1 is my filed input text. And my answer is "Adobe"(quote response also includes").
  
  If I like it
  
  Text1.text = "«Adobe"»
  
  Error occurs
  
  Can someone suggest me to do.
  
  Thank you
  
  
  

  Escape the quotes:

  Text1.text = '\"Adobe\'";"."

• Key question of shortcut in the text entry box

  I have a box of text entry to step to the next slide when you enter the number 5. This works when the learner step 5 using the keyboard, but not when you use the numeric keypad. I have the box include the keys on the numeric keypad that is selected in the shortcut key box.
  
  I have it in a test without the bar of the player. If the learner chooses to use the numeric keypad, the film does not progress.
  
  I appreciate any guidance you may have.

• using the text entry box or text are button

  Hello

  How do these?

  using text or text box widget box.

  to describe:

  in my first slide I text entry areas for

  1 user name

  2. name of the superior

  3. the e-mail of the superior court

  Let's say that: 1. refer to varialbe V_UserN

  2. refer to V_sup

  3 see V_emailS

  next slide would be a video

  next slide would be a text entry or a text box... It is where the user writes anything

  With the button "submit" text entry box

  What I want in this text entry box is... If the user does not write any what upone by clicking on the button submit, the interaction would be 'please write a review on the text box. If the user write something the thing, the Send button run continue.

  How can I do this?

  next slide would be an input text field or a text box... in which the user write something on the issue (this isn't a slide of questionnaire). The message would be sent to the email of superiors. How can I do this?

  hope you can help me.

  Thank you

  To check if the user didn't write anything, you will have to compare the value of the associated variable of the TEB or text box with a v_null user variable. You must create this user variable and simply leave it blank.

  Take a look at my blog:

  Where is no good?

  You create the custom with standard objects question slide. There is a widget mail included with Captivate, but did not try if you can insert the value of a variable by an email address.

• Reports on the text input areas

  Hi all

  I created a text input in my captivate lesson areas for the learner to write and think, but they are not part of a blade of Captivate Quiz. Is it possible to always report on inputs and that the learner writes in these boxes? My LMS is the key.

  Thank you!

  I could report to Blackboard, see the entry on a BER, but not sure that this is the case for all LMS.
