Anagram Game
Hello Everyone,
I have a problem similar to: How to get a Text Entry field to auto-focus on a layer when it loads | Articulate - Community
I have tried using that to get the system working however, it fails to work.
The answer to the anagram game is Yule Log. I would like to click on the first letter and enter a letter. Ideally, once a single letter has been focus would move to the second text box the game would auto focus on the third text box, this should happen all the way through the word.
I thought clicking on the first word would then load a layer with only a text entry box on. Using the link above, with the text entry being the only item it should auto focus, however this is not the case.
Please can anyone advise if I should be doing this differently. I have added the concept file below.
Hello ColdingleyArtic,
Thanks for reaching out!
I checked your project, and your slide still uses the default focus order.
Have you tried rearranging the focus order so that it moves from the leftmost Text Entry box to the right? Here's how:
Hope this helps!
Many thanks for your reply. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me.
It would appear I can use Tab to move between the text boxes, thank you. Do you know if there is a way to auto move between the textboxes once a single letter has been entered?
If we can solve this last problem, I am confident I can finish the game.
Once again, many thanks.
I have attached the modified file:
I'd use JavaScript in this case to simplify the transition from one field to another. I used only the base layer for this, along with a simple JavaScript code that ensures only one character is typed and the focus automatically moves to the next field. Let me know what do you think about this concept.
