I implemented a text entry which triggers a motion path depending on the type of data entered. However, when i revisit the slide the previous data entered is still in the text entry box. I have attempted to add trigger to the text entry box, to clear the variable value assigned the text entry when the timeline start but this didn't work. I have attached the storyline document below. The issue is on page 1.3 relative.
Hi, I have not looked at your file yet so you may have already done this. Check the order of the triggers. The one to clear the text value when the timeline starts should be at the top.
I tried what you suggested but when the slide is revisited the text entry box is clear however the trigger that is applied to the submit button to make the motion path work, is not working. Could you please have a look at my file as i only have a week left on my trail of articulate.
Hi Nasieba, you need to add two slide triggers to slide 1.3 - one to reset the relative variable to blank when the timeline starts and another to set the submitRelative variable to blank when the timeline starts. I added them to your project and it now works but the upload is taking too long so I have not attached the file. Instead, here is a screen cap.
