Setting focus to text entry box in Storyline

Hi, All-

I know this is an old thread, but I found it now that I need help with this issue.

After much frustration trying all of the above without success, my one last attempt at a solution worked. HOWEVER, the problem for me appears to be Storyline 1 vs. Storyline 2. All of my frustration was in SL2. When I attempted the manual steps stated by Tessa Maki (in SL1), it worked beautifully!

1. Create a layout on the slide master that includes the background image you want.

2. Insert the new layout on your desired slide.

3. Insert text entry box;format so it blends with background.

4. If you have any other objects on the slide, make sure the text entry box is at the bottom of the list in the timeline or it won't be the focus when timeline starts.

5. Preview - the text entry box should default to a cursor.

All of my current projects are SL2 and I don'twant to recreate in SL1 if it's not necessary.

Has anyone else found this? Is this a bug in SL2?

I'll appreciate any help!

Thanks!
