Captivate 5.5 Text input box problem
Hi all
I have created a software simulation which has a really annoying intermitent issue.
There are a number of validated TEBs throughout the project with the enter key set as the shortcut to go to the next slide..
My issue is that Captivate randomly chooses to ignore that enter has been pressed.. I have looked everwhere online and cannot find a solution to this issue.
I have also spoken to Adobe who claim they are not aware of any issue and it is fine at their end when trying to replicate.. I have sent them an example project so that they can see this bug in action.
Has anyone else come across this, and if so has any one come up with any work arounds?
I have also tried setting a button to transparent (it's shortcut as enter) but to no avail.
Please help!!!!

Hi Noel
I'll probably move this discussion over into the Captivate forums area after I reply. So heads up on that.
It's been the source of frustration for many Captivate users. Some claim that it requires pressing the Enter key "harder" to make it work. Personally, I think the "harder" keypress is just voodoo and preposterous, as keyboards on computers are simply mechanical switches. My own view is that it's more related to timing than anything else.
I might suggest that you complete a Wish Form/Bug Report to alert Adobe about it. The more of these folks create about the same issue, the higher the priority is assigned to that issue.
Cheers... Rick

Conditional for a text input box NOT being null? Sorry for asking so many questions!
Okay, here's the situation. I'm creating a simulation of a form on which there are several text input boxes, 7 of which are mandatory fields. I know I can use a conditional to check whether the box has nothing in it by creating a null variable with no value and doing "if [box variable] is equal to [null variable] then", but the problem is that the validation captions I need to show need to be shown in order, that is to say that the caption for entering a value for the first box will always be shown if that box is null regardless of the contents of other boxes, the second will be shown if that one is null and the first one isn't etc.
When I was investigating this I noticed a post by Lilybiri saying that comparison with a null variable doesn't work for "not equal to" so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to show the captions based on priority. For example, to show the second caption I need to not only check whether the second box variable is null, but also whether the first one isn't.
It gets pretty crazy further along the line where I get to the 7th mandatory field and need to check whether the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth boxes are NOT null and whether the 7th one IS. Help!
I did come up with one potential solution to this prior to posting: if I set a different advanced action for each input box losing focus which checks whether the variable is null and if so sets a "flag" variable to 0, and in the else set it to 1, I imagine I can then replace the "not equal to" with a check to that flag variable being equal to 1 (which means there is text in the box). I think this will work but I thought I'd check to see if there's an easier way first.No it DOESN'T require everything to be on one slide. It just has to LOOK as if that's what it is.
I would suggest that it doesn't really matter how many Captivate slides are involved in the final solution, as long as it works the same way (or as close as possible) to the original software that you are simulating. Your users don't frankly know or care how you achieved the simulation. I guarantee they won't be thinking of you or Captivate.
In my experience, you can make creating elearning a lot more difficult than it needs to be in Captivate by trying to rebuild the app, rather than just simulating how it works. For example, thinking that if everything happened on one web page or screen in the app then it must also happen on a single slide in Captivate. The fact of the matter is IT DOESN'T need to work this way. And in some cases it might even be impossible to reproduce in Captivate this way.
So the quickest path to a solution is often to use multiple slides, which has the advantage of allowing you to "fix" certain things on screen (e.g. the contents of fields already visited) by using READ ONLY variable output in transparent captions, focusing only on one element of the interface that the user can interact with on that slide. It doesn't necessarily prevent you from moving back and forth between elements, just as you can in the original app. But it is far easier to create and maintain.
I'm not saying you wouldn't be able to pull this off on one slide in Captivate, but it is going to require a LOT of variables and Advanced Actions to build and debug. So the term Rapid Elearning becomes something of a misnomer if it takes you a long time to complete one slide. -
I have turned off all addons/extensions/plugins - still the same problem:
1: Text input boxes appear to be the same colour as the background - and hence "invisible"
2: Clickable buttons on websites are often invisible, or if they display have no text; e.g. button to right of google search ("go" button?) is seen as a plain box with no text - although button is clickable.
3: Google webpage usually has an image - this is missing, and merely has "UK" to the top left of the input box.
4: On this page for example I can see directly above this text box two vertical black lines - it appears to be a button with a pop-up "insert a link" - it can obviously be clicked when I mouse over it.See:

Text input box for displaying notes
How can I use a text input box so delegates can write notes in which then appear on other pages as they work through the course.
KenIt seems you would be able to do this with user variables, in which you store the content retrieved from the Text Entry Box. Later on (other slides) you can use this content by adding it to a Text Caption. Beware: I'm not sure about the amount of characters that can be stored.

Text input box to show in another text field
Hello,
I have a text input box (Text1) showing during a certain label on the stage. On another label there is another text field (Text2) that is not input-able. This second text field (Text2) should show whatever the user has inputted in the first text input field (Text1).
Both of these elements are not symbols and right now they are both text elements.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
~iana~I believe the inputField is set accordingly. And including your reply, here's what I've got on my stage:
sym.$("Name").attr('contentEditable', true);
var inputValue = sym.$("Name").value;
// other text
sym.$("Signature").html(inputValue);
Thus far, this does not work. "Name" field is Text1 (inputField) and the "Signature" is Text2 (text box)
I'm new to all this so I've prob got something wrong...do you know what I should adjust? -
How can I make text input boxes in a JApplet so I can specify there location. I want to make input boxes in certain locations on the applet.
Do you know about layout managers? If not:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/using.html
If you for some reason don't trust a layout manager to do the job for you, you can specify where you want to put things yourself by doing something like this:
JApplet applet = ...
applet.getContentPane().setLayout(null); // Do not use a Layout Manager (generally a Bad Idea)
JTextField input = new JTextField();
input.setBounds(50, 75, 25, 100); // Sets the position and size of your textfield
applet.getContentPane().add(input);This is generally not recommended though, because different screen resolutions, cross-platform issues, any other things, might screw things up for you.
ps.
A little advice: try to be a little more patient the next time. You shouldn't start flaming the forum just because no one happens to answer your question within an hour . The people here are under no obligation whatsoever to help you -- they do it of their own free will in their own spare time. -

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11
I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?
You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
Thanks,

How do I stop Captivate adding in text/highlight boxes when I film a project?
Morning/Afternoon,
Whenever I film a new project Captivate 4 always adds in additional text boxes with "Click OK button" and "Opens Parameter Window" and also adds in it's own highlight boxes. How do I turn this off? It's not that much of a problem as I have to go in and edit every screen anyway but I was wondering if there was a way to stop them appearing in the first place.
Thank you very much for your help,
MichelleHi there
You do this by changing the Recording preferences.
Click Edit > Preferences... > Recording > Modes and choose one of the modes. Demonstration seems a likely choice.
Select or clear the desired options.

Simulation input box auto advance?
I'm building a simulation and have a couple of questions:
1) I have an input box where the user needs to enter text. If that text entered is correctly, the timeline will continue without the user having to press Enter.
How is this possible?
2) I have slides where the instructions call for the user to press enter to advance to the next slide. In Flash you can set up an event listener to listen to see if the Enter key is pressed.
How would you do this in Captivate? The only way I've found is to add a text input box with a shortcut for Enter.
Thanks in advance,
DanI think the issue here is that Captivate is an event-based application. So there has to be some event triggered to which actions can then respond.
You want there to be an event that is triggered as soon as the user enters the correct username in the field, without there being any other user interaction whatsoever. If that's the way your software application is really set up to work at log on, it would be very unusual. I'm not saying your app DOESN'T really work that way, because I know of some web apps using AJAX etc that are doing calls all the time to the server to check the current username or password, but it would be highly unusal break most of the user interaction models that people have grown up with in typical computer usage.
Normally, after the user enters data into the username or password field, there is ALWAYS at least another button or key that they press to trigger the evaluation of username and password combination. Captivate's interactive objects such as text boxes and buttons always assume this is the way things are going to work. They expect another user interaction of some kind. A keypress or a click.
So trying to replicate the exact behaviour you describe requires that Captivate triggers an event based solely on the correct combination of letters in the text box field. At the moment that sounds like some kind of special version of the text box widget to me. I don't see any way to do it with standard Captivate functionality,
Hope someone can prove me wrong. -
Mac text input doesn´t work at all
Hi,
I have a form with several text input boxes that don´t work at all when i publish the .Fla file via Flash CS4 10.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I can select them but when i try to write nothing happens as you can test at (Work in progress): www.serverprovider.com.pt/Valentine ,clicking the button at the footer "solicitar catálogo".
This issue doesn´t exist if i publish the .Fla file in a PC, wich i´m trying to avoid because i don´t want to change the fonts in the intire website.
Already read other posts on the forum, tried the "auto kern" solution (static text>deselect auto kern>tranform to input text), but nothing happens.
Thank´s in advance,
RicardoHi again,
Already solved the problem.
Because my original file was being published in diferent OS´s (Vista, Mac OSX, Windows 7), i´ve decided to create a new empty .Fla file. After that inserted (copy paste) the content of the older one and then changed the font (from Helvetica Neue to Arial) in the text input fields.
Don´t ask me why, but my problem was solved this way.
Hope it helps you.

I have Text input box for the user to enter the heading for a new record in NewRecord form.
Like:
<mx:TextInput text="Enter Subject Here"/>

Hi all,
I have a couple of text input boxes on my slide that have
correct answers
assigned to them. The correct answers are all single digit
numbers (it's a
Sudoku game). I would like the Success and Failure captions
to appear as
soon as they type that single digit. Right now, they have to
press Enter to
see if their entry is correct, which seems tedious.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
MargCan you elaborate your need ?

I created an AppleScript on my Mac Pro and the text input box never shows up! I've tried other samples and it never shows up, I tested the same script on my MBP and it works fine. This looks like a stretched circle with a down arrow. Here is a screenshot of the box...
Any ideas why this is happening?
ThanksHello
AppleScript applet shell under 10.10 is reportedly broken in such a way that you cannot input CJK text in answer field of "display dialog" command when the script is run as applet.
Temporary workaround would be to tell application other than applet itself to display dialog such as:
tell application "System Events"
activate
display dialog "Enter text" default answer ""
end tell
And let Apple fix this situation:

Good luck,
