Multiple Text Entry on Slide as Freeform Pick One
I’m not where I can look at your story right now, but I have some ideas. If you don’t need to grade it, and already have feedback layers, it can be pretty simple. You don’t need an interaction to do what you want. Sometimes creating from scratch is more likely to get us what we want. It will be especially easy for you because you already have the feedback and the text variables.
I would remove the interaction. Then create triggers. When one on the five text variables changes, take the appropriate action if all five variables are not equal to blank. You can do this when the variables change, or create a button and check when the button is clicked. I rather imagine the appropriate action will be to show the corresponding feedback. Then on the last feedback layer, jump to the next slide.
Thank you, Walt. I do have them using the built-in Submit button, so my trigger (before I tried our the video method) has been "show layer correct when they click submit if all text entry are not = blank, Else show "please input answer". That didn't work - it wouldn't evaluate all the boxes.
With your suggestion, do I need to create that trigger for every variable? Also, does that mean I can't use any type of submit button (built in or otherwise)?
