Clear Text Entry after wrong answer

Question

Hello,
I'm searching a way for clearing text entry box after the
user entered a wrong answer.
If this it's not possible to do that with text entry, is it
possible to do that with captivate question quiz, or somthing else?
Thank you

The problem is that the text-entry object is a "scoring
object" and it is considered best practice NOT to allow movement to
and fro once a scoring object has been answered.
The solution is to move forward through the eLearning
experience, not back and forth. So how does that apply? Well, one
way is to duplicate the slide, including the text-entry object, so
the same problem can be offered for solution in the slide(s)
following the failed effort. The same principals apply to question
slides ... if you want the user to retake a failed effort, you
should add (for instance) an "explanation" slide after the question
slide and route the use to that following failure; then the
following slide can be a re-creation of the question slide if you
want to give the student a second chance at the same question.
There are problems with doing it this way - for one, the
scoring is going to be "skewed" - or could be unless the second
attempt is weighted at "zero". But since the basic learning concept
of asking each question only once is being thrown out anyway, the
skewed scoring may not be a big deal (?).
