Refresh set text equal to typed value trigger in a slide?

Jul 03, 2014

Hello,

I've created a Fill in the Blank activity that responds to and scores users responses based on variables and specific text entries.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/mprep_media/hosted/public/gmat_interact/Storyline/story.html

The activity works just fine, except for one user-friendly issue. I can't seem to set a variable to have the Text Entry field clear after a student has submitted an answer and the field has been repopulated in a layer by way of a variable to reset the text entry field to say "Enter a word used to describe a property of an integer." 

The first time a student clicks on the text: "Type a word here that is used to describe the property of an integer." in the Text Entry field, it automatically deletes this text and displays a blinking cursor. I know that this initial feature is controlled by the "Set *TextEntryVariable* equal to the typed value When the control loses focus" variable, but I can't find a way to reactivate this trigger a second time. I've even tried using this trigger: "Set *TextEntryVariable* equal to the typed value When the control loses focus on condition *TextEntryVariable* is equal to "Enter a word used to describe a property of an integer." but it does not work.

Any suggestions?

Best,

Derek

Hi Derek,

I really like the look of this course/slide - and although it's not automatically removed when I click in the box, it is highlighted so it's easy to delete. I wonder if you could share the .story file here as well with us - just to give us an already set up example to play with and generate ideas around?
