Mulitple Text Entry Boxes on One Slide

Hi Katie,

If you haven't seen it already, you may want to check out the screenr below:

Also, here are some forum threads that may help you get this set up:

I hope this helps! Good luck with the project :)

Thanks.

Is there a cheat sheet of the various conditions that can be used with the triggers?

Hi Katie,

Not that I know of, no. If you run into any trouble with the conditions, or just need some suggestions, I'm certainly happy to try and help with this :)

None of those examples really captured what I'm trying to do. I need three entry text boxes with specific text typed in them. The user will have to press the Tab button to navigate to the next text entry. I also need Hint captions, Incorrect captions and Try again captions with each incorrect text entry. Do you have an example of this?

Hi Katie,

I've been working with this and honestly having some fun working on an example. There's one issue that I've come across, however. 

The problem with moving forward to display an incorrect response from a text entry is that the text entry really isn't set until that field loses focus. As you've probably already seen, a variable and trigger are both created when a text entry is created. Now that text entry trigger only works when the control (or the text entry field) loses focus - basically something else in the slide needs to be selected.

Hint captions, no problem. Moving forward to other layers with entry boxes, we can set that up too. However, the "Incorrect" and "Try again" captions are going to be a problem if the only key you want to use is "Tab". 

Also, the problem with using "Tab" to move around in a slide is that it's going to call the accessibility feature in Storyline. You can work around this, but you'll have to make sure that every object in your slide is not being used by this feature. 

I'm posting the file that I've been working on, just in case you want to take a look. As you can see, when you click in the first text entry field, you'll get a hint. Also, if you enter an incorrect answer, you'll see the incorrect prompt. The problem, though, as you'll see is that if you enter the correct information you'll see the incorrect prompt again. If, however, you click "OK" and return to that main layer and hit "Tab" again, you'll get the next layer. As you can see, the variable is adjusting, but not until something else in the course gains control by interaction. 

Thanks for your help. This helps me a some with properly assigning the triggers.

Hi, i tried to follow the steps in the vid but still can't seem to make it work. Can anyone look at my file and see where i'm going wrong? thanks in advance!

Hey Ruby,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your project file. I took a look, but seem a bit stumped as well.

I've opened up a support case on your behalf so that one of our support engineers can take a closer look for you.

You should be hearing from someone soon.

Thanks, Leslie~

Hi Ruby

you can't mix AND and OR conditions in a trigger
