Textfield doesn't show up
Oct 29, 2020
Thanks for help in advance.
On my slide I created four headlines and text to show up, when the user clicks the headline. Therefor I gave the text boxes two states. Hidden with no text and normal with text. The trigger is that the state changes to normal when the user clicks on headline. But the text doesn't show up when I click the headline.
My trouble shooting was to bring the text boxes to front. Also tried to copy the slide, start the program again, install the updates, without success.
Now I don't know what to do. Appreciate support

You created a hidden state that you didn't need to. The hidden state already exists for pretty much everything. All you need to do is change the initial state of the text boxes to hidden. Although they are still visible on your work area, when previewed or published, they remain invisible until the learner clicks the appropriate button.
For each text box, delete the hidden state. Then it should work fine. See attached.
Thank you very much. But to be honest I don't really understand it. Why are the text boxes hidden, when the timeline starts?
Because the intial state has been set to Hidden.
Select one of the text boxes, and then click the States tab. There you will see the initial state.
Thanks again
