Problem keying in letter 's'

Mar 30, 2011

I've inserted an FLV into PPT which contains 3 blank boxes for users to key in. One of the answer begins with 's...'. However, after keying in the letter 's', I am unable to key in the next letter, as the cursor automatically goes to the side navigation panel.

Hi Norleen and welcome to E-learning Heroes!

Couple questions on your .flv. First, how did you insert the .flv into PowerPoint? Did you insert it from the Articulate > Insert Flash Movie tab or did you use PowerPoint's insert video?

One thing you could try is disabling keyboard shortcuts on your Articulate Presenter player. Go to Articulate > Player Templates > Player Controls and disable the option.

Finally, how did you create your Flash video file? There are a few requirements for successfully running Flash video/movies in Presenter '09. Here's the details: http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/kb/?p=76

You'll want to be sure Flash is published as ActionScript 2 and that none of your AS code references _root or _level0. 

Are you by any chance using a custom player skin? I've seen a couple instances where skins caused conflict between the text entry and Presenter player.
