How to get a Text Entry field to auto-focus when a layer loads
G'day,
I have a Text Entry field that I'd like to have auto-focus when the layer it's sitting on is triggered to load so you can immediately start typing into it. At the moment, the field sits on ...
Hi,
I'm having a similar issue to Brett, however I've tried Andrew's suggestion, but it's not working.
I have my text field on the base layer (and this is the only thing on this layer), and then I created another layer (let's call this Layer 2) with all of the other content. It didn't auto focus on the text field and the entire screen was blank (I had to click onto the text field and type still). I then tried to add a trigger to 'Show Layer 2' when the timeline starts on this slide, so at least the screen had the content, but still no auto focusing and the text doesn't appear on top of Layer 2, so I can't see what I'm typing.
I've tried to put the content as a background image, however it becomes extremely blurry.
Even tried to change the focus order, however it doesn't autofocus for me to type without having to click on the text field.
What am I doing wrong?
Ben
