Select one - freeform, needs a kick start
Jan 06, 2017
Hi. Can you help me with a problem I've got, please.
I'm trying to make a slide, which asks the student to enter two numbers into two boxes. I've followed the instructions in one of your tutorials, which explains about having "hidden buttons" and conditions,
When I'm testing it, I get the "Invalid entry, you must complete the question" box come up, when I click "Submit" even though I've entered the correct answers.
It's almost as if the system needs a kick start to get it working, as If I click on one of the two "hidden" buttons, they correctly display the "correct" or "incorrect" boxes. Once I've done this, the submit button then works correctly. At this stage, I can see that the hidden buttons are being selected, when I submit, which does not happen before the kick start.
Many thanks
Alan

Hi Alan! Could you share your file? I have done some work with these text boxes and they can be tricky.
Hi Tammy
Thank you so much for offering to help; I've attached the file.
A couple of points, the correct & incorrect buttons are on the main portion of the slide simply for testing, they would be pushed off to one side when it's all working.
The correct answers, are: 33 & 70 respectively.
Thanks again

Hi Alan, I may be missing something but I don't seem to be able to see your file.
Hi Tammy, maybe I attached it to the wrong thing!
Try this, thanks
It looks like you made this more complicated than it needed to be! Unless I am missing your objective :-)
I have reattached your file. Look at the slide labeled Corrected.
Hi Tammy
That works for me :-)
Many thanks; being a newbie to this game, I was following one of the video tutorials, which had suggested doing it that way.
Really appreciate your help.
Tammy, thanks so much for helping Alan out!
