Text Entry box help
Hmmm okay something is wrong and it starts with the TEB not showing the text I am typing or capturing it. I decided to start simple. Have a correct/ incorrect layer, as well as a submit button. It doesn't matter what I type in, I get a message (not even one I put in my layers) that I need to complete the interaction. So, this means the TEB itself is not capturing what is being typed in order to validate it. Alright this is progress. Next step- remove TEB, and re-insert and configure fresh.
I figured it out! It is a quiz question. The issue with text not appearing didn't happen if I just previewed the single slide. But if I previewed the scene, it wouldn't appear. Anyway my solution:
Clean the slide up- no triggers nothing just the background image. Change to freeform text entry box. Enter in the required text, and make it submit on key entry of Enter. On the correct layer, remove all text, set the master slide to blank. But add trigger that on start of timeline, jump to next slide. So if they got it right- it moved on. On incorrect, make it blank- no triggers. So nothing happened if they got it incorrect (on their view). On Try again layer, hide all text, and set background to blank and add trigger "Hide this layer, when timeline starts on Try again". Okay now they are in a loop if they get it wrong bc they have unlimited attempts. So, if they get it right- Correct layer just moves them on. If they get it wrong, incorrect doesn't matter bc unlimited attempts and it takes them to try again layer. Try again layer just hides upon entry of timeline. WHEW!
That's what I mean, haha. Adding formal Quiz slides in Storyline brings a bunch of extra stuff like feedback layers, which you and I can create manually using the basic tools of Storyline, but can be expedited by adding official Quiz slides. In simpler projects though, that extra stuff becomes baggage.
If you check out what I linked in the other comment, it accomplishes what you want without adding a bunch of stuff and then turning around and deleting it. If you're hiding all of the content on the feedback slides and hiding the feedback slides as soon as they show, then why add the feedback slides in the first place?
