text entry variables - error

Hi dennis, you have your variables confused, they will not match the name on the timeline you name them in the variable dialogue box, if you click on each text entry box you will see that the highlighted trigger will give you the variable name

Hope this helps

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for sharing the screenr to show us what's happening. As Phil mentioned, the name of the variable and how you reference it is controlled when you set up the variable, not by the object on the timeline. Additionally, if you're variable references are appearing in the wrong place I'd double check the trigger set up you have as it looked like some of the objects were called one thing while the trigger associated with them said it was adjust the variable for another name (i.e. one object was titled "GoodDecision_best" but the variable referenced in the trigger said "GoodDecision_worst"). 

Thanks guys - gothca

Happy to help Dennis, and let us know if you need anything else! 

Hi Ashley,

I have a question regarding 'text entry' fields.  This is very simple project.  Each input text entry field validates the input against the available choices and gives feedback.  In this example, I have set up the correct responses for slide 1.1 as 4 choices: José Cuervo , José Cuervo Tequila, Jose Cuervo Tequila & Jose Cuervo.  However even if I type 'Jose Cuervo' the system rejects it as incorrect choice.  Similar problem happens with the next slide, where the correct answer could be either 'Beefeater Gin &  Beefeater' .  The system rejects 'Beefeater' but accepts 'Beefeater Gin'.

Would you mind taking a look?

Thank you so much,

Best

Ashley,

No worries.  There was an extra space and that was the problem.  It was an easy fix. Thanks,
