Storyline Interaction problem

May 31, 2023

Hi everyone, I have built an interaction where I want the next button state to be set to hidden, until text has been typed in 3 different textboxes, which at that point it will become visible. 

I'm having a lot of issues with the triggers where they seem correct and I feel I am missing something. 

Would someone be able to help.

I can usually do these really easily but something weird is happening which I cannot pinpoint. 

Attached is the file.

Thanks

The trouble is that the TextEntry variables don't actually change until the entry field "loses focus" (e.g., the user clicks somewhere outside the field). 

I suggest you add a button (e.g., "Continue" or "Ready") for the users to click after they type their answers. That will force them to lose focus on the entry fields. 

You could also save yourself some triggers by using 1 trigger on the "Continue" button that shows the Next button if all of the text-entry variables are not blank.
