variables with text entry help
Hi. I am not sure if what I am asking is possible. The user is supposed to type the number 68 into an input box. Once they type that number, I want a red lined shape to appear around another area of...
Next challenge, Nathan_Hillard! If I copy your excellent example more than once in a story, the 2nd slide doesn't function properly. I suspect it has to do with the single txtInput variable. I know nothing about Java, so can't determine if that's the issue.
Yes, that example only located the first input box. I modifed it (attached) so you can specify a name for each text entry (right click text entry in timeline, select Accessibility). Give each text entry a unique Alt Text name. Set this name also in the inputTagName variable (top trigger on each slide). Set the targetValue variable in the trigger list too. Now it should locate the input you specify on each slide and compare it to the indicated target value.
If you wanted more than one per slide, you would need some extra variables to track the tag names and target values for each.
Thank you! I'll give this a try!
