Setting focus to text entry box in Storyline
HI Santosh,
You used to be able to solve this by moving everything to layers, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. So I've created a work around that you can use.
- Insert your picture and move it to the bottom layer
- Press Ctrl-C to copy the picture, and then Ctrl-Shift D to paste the picture 3 times, so you have 4 copies. Using Ctrl-Shift D copies the pictures in the exact same location.
- Move the 3 copies to the bottom layers with the first picture.
- Use the crop tool to crop the pictures to the four sides of the input text box, one for each side.
- Select the input text box, and move it to the bottom layer.
- Your project should now run with the image showing, and the cursor blinking in the input box.
I've created an sample of how I did this for you.
Hi Dave. I like the way you engineered the workaround but, and I don't mean to upset you, one could always use the desired image as a background image, from within the Format Background option. This will place the image beneath the text entry box but the text entry box will still have focus because it is the bottom of the timeline.
Simple. :)
Hi Diarmaid,
That doesn't upset me at all. Answers from everyone is how we all learn new things, and if that works, that is great! I generally prefer to not use a background image, but it sounds like it is a another good work-around.
