Text Entry Interaction -- Password Processing

Hi everyone,
I have this text entry interaction set up to show asterisks
when user types
the password.
I was wondering if it can be done in a way where I have 3
fields:
field 1 asking the user to enter current password.
field 2 asking the user to enter new password.
field 3 asking the user to re-enter new password.
the passwords have to be:
1) at least 8 characters long and max. 12 characters.
2) must have at least 2 numeric characters and at least 2
uppercase
characters.
3) must have at least 1 character that is not a number or
letter, like "-"
or "/" etc...
4) if first character is to be numeric, then the first 3
characters must be
numeric
5) if last character is to be numeric, then the last 3
characters must be
numeric.
Sounds like a pain in the butt work. Any idea?
thanks in advanced,
Omar

Hiya Brickyard
You might try inserting a new slide that becomes slide one.
Place a logo or something on the slide and use it for a Splash or
intro slide. Then place a Button or Click Box on the slide to pause
it and wait for the user to click. This accomplishes two things.
1. It pauses the movie until the user is ready to proceed
2. It causes focus to be placed on the Flash Object in the
browser.
I'm thinking that it is working sometimes and sometimes not
because the Flash Object in the browser has focus sometimes and
sometimes not. Forcing the user to place focus there before seeing
the Text Entry Box may cause it to work more reliably.
Cheers... Rick

How can I get a click box to interact with a text entry box on the same page?

I'm creating a tutorial on using a specific system and trying to recreate what the end user would actual do in the system. On one slide, the end user must enter text into a field, then press a button (click box) to advance to the next slide. I want to be able to have the click box validate if the text entry is correct before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to get the click box to validate the text entry? Not sure how to get the two objects to "talk" to each other rather than function independently.
Literally, I want the end user to enter the data in the text entry box, then click on the Get button. I need the Get button (click box) to both validate that the data entered in the text entry box is correct and, if it is, advance to the next slide. If the data is incorrect, I need the Get button (click box) to show the failure caption and have the end user re-enter the data correctly.
How do I get the objects to work together?

Hi there
You need to delete the Click Box. Yes, you heard me. Delete the puppy.
I know it sounds weird. But bear with me. After you delete it, double-click the Text Entry Box. Then click the Options tab. See that option called Show Button? Click it and click OK to dismiss the TEB properties.
Now you have the button you want. If you don't want a button, double-click it and set it as transparent. Remove the text. Position as desired where the Click Box was before.

Text Entry Captions not created

Using Adobe Captivate 5.0 - Training mode is not creating the Text Captions for Text Entry Boxes, even though selected in the Training/Recording settings. Creates Text Entry box, but no Text Caption. Really want this to work when recording SAP simulations, but doesn't even seem to work when recording internet browser or MS Oulook either. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello again
Perhaps it will help if I simply describe how Captivate usually works. There are several ways to record. There is "Full Motion" (FMR) where everything is recorded just like a movie. Not the best way of working bit is possible. In FMR no captions or anything of the sort is added during the recording process, but you may add them later if you like.
Then there is the "slide by slide" capture mode. Each click of the mouse generally results in a screen capture. But this mode of capturing has four variations.
* Demonstration
* Training Simulation
* Assessment Simulation
* Custom
Demonstration mode provides text captions for activity. Click this or that. Also, highlight boxes are added along with tracking mouse movement.
Both of the simulation modes will ignore text captions, mouse tracking and highlight boxes. Instead, these modes simply add Click Boxes and Text Entry Boxes to allow "simulation" or interacting with the Captivate. These objects offer "Feedback" captions to indicate Correct or Incorrect actions.
From what you have described, you want to enable "Custom" recording mode where you choose the mix of elements you get.
However, NONE of these modes will analyze what is happening and describe it to the user. Instead, they may or may not recognize what you are clicking on in order to create captions. You might see funky names like "Click the TechnicalNameForControl" control.
Does this help any?
Cheers... Rick

Text Entry Box--Advanced Actions--Conditional Statement--Double quotes in literal input value

Hello forums,
I'm new to the forums (and Captivate in general), but I'm having a real problem carrying out a tutorial design and I think you may be my only hope. Let me explain what I want to do and the difficulty that I'm having:
I'm an instruction librarian at a university, and I'm designing an interactive tutorial for English 100 students to complete in order to become familiar with how to search the library catalog. What I've done is taken a screenshot of the catalog search page, made it the background of a slide in Captivate (vers. 6), and placed a text entry box over the search bar in the screenshot. The idea is for the students to conduct a simulated search by choosing one of three suggested search string formulations, and depending on the search string they enter, the tutorial will jump to a slide featuring a screenshot of what the actual search results would look like. The idea is to emphasize the use of keywords over full-sentence phrases, and the use of double quotation marks to enclose multi-word search terms.
So I've set the action for the TEB to "Execute Advanced Actions" and then created some IF/THEN statements in the "Advanced Actions" pop-up window (with action type set to 'conditional'). The script is such that if the student enters the first search option (how does sleep affect college students) in the TEB, the tutorial jumps to 1 slide, if they enter the second option (college students AND sleep), featuring a Boolean operator (AND), the tutorial jumps to a 2nd slide, and if they enter the third option ("college students" AND sleep) with the double quotes around "college students" and the Boolean operator, the tutorial should jump to a 3rd slide. This action script works fine for the first two input options, but I can't make it work for the third search option.
I think that it has something to do with the fact that the third input option features double quote marks, and this seems to throw off the script (I tried a quote-less input value for the third IF/THEN just to make sure that it would work jumping to the 3rd slide and it did), and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get around this issue. Again, I need it to work so that if the student enters "college students" AND sleep, with the quote marks and the Boolean operator, the tutorial will jump to a slide showing the search results if those search terms were used in a real search of the catalog.
I'd be extremely grateful for any help that anyone here can give me, we've been trying to make our online tutorials more engaging and interactive (and therefore more interesting), and I think this would be a great way to teach students about using quotes in their catalog searches.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Andrew Wilk
College Library
UW-Madison

The tutorial is for a "how to use catalog searching" instruction in an undergraduate library session. We use boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to combine search terms, ex. to search for books about the sleeping habits of college students, I would enter "college students AND sleep." Because "college students" is a multi-word phrase to describe one concept, I need to put quotation marks around the phrase to prevent the catalog from searching for the individual words separately, so the most correct search becomes ["college students" AND sleep] with quotation marks around only "college students," a user-typed "AND," and the word "sleep" (no q-marks).
A colleague of mine worked out a pretty cool (if complicated) solution that I'll share if anyone is interested. Since the q-marks where the problem, we've set it up so that the TEB validates the response for the search string with q-marks around "college students." If they enter it correctly, the tutorial jumps to the corresponding slide. The attempt # is set to 1, and if the user fails to enter the validated phrase (they misspell or use one of the other response options) then the TEB is set to run an Advanced Actions Script in which the other two options are scripted in IF/THEN statements that cause, when the term is entered correctly, the tutorial to jump to their corresponding slides. We've created another tab of IF/THEN statements that say that if the response is NOT equal to one of these response options, then the slide restarts (technically the slide "jumps" back to itself and starts over) and the user gets another chance to start the cycle over again.
I know this is confusing (I had a really hard time explaining it in words), so if anyone is interested I could make a Jing video when I have some time.
Thank you for all your suggestions

Text entry boxes in CP6 - Enter key to validate input does not work in Safari?

I'm using Captivate 6 to create a step by step walkthrough of some different processes that are commonly completed in my workplace. Some of the example processes have portions where text is entered to simulate a process the end user might need. I have text entry boxes in these slides that require validation of the input to move along, with Enter used as a shortcut key. This works great in Firefox, Chrome and IE all the way down to 8....but if the course is run in Safari, the enter key does nothing. Is this a known issue?
Additional info: For many of these text entry boxes, the point is that it is a search field that has a little binoculars icon next to it that executes the search in the actual software we are simulating. For these slides I actually have the submit button associated with the text box made invisible (no fill, no stroke) and placed on top of the binoculars icon. This is an acceptable method of doing the task we're demonstrating, and just so happens to be a workaround for the enter key not working in Safari. However, a few places we have text entry that doesn't have the search/binocular icon next to it because there is a different goal on that section of the software we're visualizing. In those cases, there is no place for me to put an invisible submit button, and I can't make the submit button visible because that's not how the software we're demonstrating would work (thus defeating the purpose of the training).

Sorry, this is a known bug with no fix available yet, but the makers of SwiftKey are aware of it and we will work with them to fix it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617298
For now, the only solution is to use a different keyboard when using Firefox.

How to report text entries in captivate 5.0?

I need students to write in a Text Entry Box and I would like to see what they have said. I do not want to score them or anything like that, just want to recieve their entries. Please is there anybody who knows how I can do that in Captivate 5?

Hello,
You can report entries of a TEB to a LMS, at least I'm doing that to our LMS. You will need at least one scored object to enable reporting, and will have to report on the level Interactions and Score.
Do you use a LMS?

Text entry fields not able to tab between 2 fields

Hi there,
I have placed 2 text entry fields that are for username & a password, I on publish/preview, I type the username and go to hit the TAB key to move to the password field but nothing happens & cursor does not move to the other field...
I did try a quick search for this question as I thought it must of happened before to others, but could not find what I needed..the answer ;-)
Kind Regards
Rossco
DOH! I just found some more information on tabbing between these fields, so will check that out fisrt........must be Friday (over here)

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Forum.
Have you tried using the shortcut option assigned as "Tab" in the action properties of the text entry box as shown in the following image:
Thanks

Text Entry Box - On losing focus?

Hello fellow Captivators. I'm being thick-headed, I guess, but I'm trying to figure out how I might use the new feature of Text Entry Boxes on the Advanced tab:
I tried the setting as in the graphic, then when I preview, I click in the text entry box to give it focus, then I tab out of it (focus shifted to the playbar), but nothing happens.
Is this how it's supposed to work? And I'd love some suggestions about how to use this new feature.
Thanks very much.
Mister C.

Thanks for your insight, Rick. It is as you say. If I type a character in the TEB first, then the on focus lost action on the Advanced tab takes place.
But it doesn't quite make sense to me. I'm doing a little testing. The more I test, the more confused I get!!!
I configured a TEB with a Submit button. On success, I set it to go to the next slide. On the Advanced tab, I configured the on focus lost action to go to the previous slide. Then I tried it ---
If I type the correct text and click the Submit button, I'd expect the go to next slide action to take place. Instead, since the focus was lost when I clicked the Submit button, it went to the previous slide. If I type the incorrect text and click the Submit button, I'd expect to get incorrect feedback. Instead, again, since the focus was lost when I clicked the Submit button, it went to the previous slide. If I type correct text and use my shortcut key of Enter, the first Enter does nothing, then a second Enter executes the on success action and goes to the next slide. But, if I type incorrect text and use my shortcut key of Enter, it shows incorrect feedback --- I assume because focus is not lost just by pressing Enter. But --- this doesn't make sense either, because the help file says "On Focus Lost Select the action that should be performed when the user presses Enter or Tab, or moves the pointer away from the object." If I configure the shortcut key to be Tab instead of Enter, regardless of whether I type correct or incorrect text, the on focus lost action happens and I go to the previous slide.
So it looks like the Advanced tab on focus lost is taking precedence over the submit button validation process. That is, except for the Enter key shortcut.
Does this behavior match with your experience? Or does it even make any sense?

An Array of Text Entry Boxes

I am trying to make a servlet that has an array of text entry boxes for entering numbers. By changing numboxes, I would be able to vary the number of boxes. The problem is that it is only finding the first occurrence of the text entry boxes.
If the idea of an array of text entry boxes is totally stupid, feel free to say that as well, as well as any suggestions as to a better basic approach. Thanks!

You need to check with the vendor of this unspecified application to see if they have an api for remote control. Perhaps they have an ActiveX interface? If not, I've had very good luck with an application called AutoIT - https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/
There are LabVIEW examples on the forum.

Disappearng Text entries

We are developing software simulations that will be launched
through a simple version of Microsofts elearning open source
software. The LMS is web-based. Simulations lose some of their
interactive functionality once uploaded to the site. They run
perfectly "standalone". In text entry area, the text does not show,
though the simulation advances when the correct ending charcter has
been typed. Keystroke combinations such as shift-tab simply do not
work.
Is this a browser issue? Some setting in the browser or is it
something we are missing in the files itself?

Hello IntellaL
Welcome to our community. I don't think that this is a
browser issue. It sounds more like there is a problem with your
Captivate file. I have seen some instances where - for no reason at
all - some of the Text Entry when published to SWF just do not
work. I would recommend that you start by replacing those Text
Entry boxes (TEBs), then publish the SWFs to your local machine and
test them to see if the TEBs function correctly.
If these this don't work, then create a new sample project,
add some TEBs, publish and see if those function correctly.
If so, then it *might* be a case of your original project
having become damaged. To verify this you should open a new project
file and try copying and pasting all your slides from the original
project to this new file. If one or more of the slides won't copy,
this then could be an indication that the original project has
become corrupted.

Multiple Text Entry Boxes on One Slide

I am developing training and assesment captivates for a software application. On certain forms in the application, I want to have the student enter text in multiple text boxes on one slide. Cannot figure out how to set the On Success options to validate the entry in one box and then move to the next box on the same slide. For example, in the attached shot, I want them to enter into Term1 Days, Term2 Days and Term 3 Days on the same slide. Have tried the Enable option, but cannot tweak that to work. Any ideas? Thank You

Hi there
I think to do this properly you will have to simply stage the Text Entry Boxes. Perhaps on different slides.
The user will then interact with one at a time.

Using text entry Box or Text are button

Hi,
How do I do these?
using text entry box or text area widget.
to describe:
in my first slide I have text entry boxes for
    1. User name
     2. name of superior
     3. email of the superior
let say: 1. refer to varialbe V_UserN
             2. refer to V_sup
             3. refer to V_emailS
next slide would be a video
next slide would be a text entry or a text area..this is where the user writes anything
     Text entry box with submit button
What I want from this text entry box is..if the user doesnt write anything, upone clicking the submit button, the interaction wouldbe "please write a review on the text area"..if the user write something the something, the submit button will execute continue.
how do I do this?
next slide would be a text entry box or a text area..wherein the user write something based on question (this is not a quiz slide). The message would be sent to the superiors email. how do I do this?
hope you can help me.
Thanks

To check if the user didn't write anything you'll have to compare the value of the associated variable of that TEB or Text Area with a user variable v_null. You have to create that user variable and just leave it empty.
Have a look at my blog post:
Where is Null?
You'll have to create the custom question slide with standard objects. There is an mail widget included with Captivate, but didn't try out if you can insert the value of a variable as an email address.

Text Entry Boxes and their content not being captured in Automatic Recording

I have searched the forums here and elsewhere extensively and whilst I have found people with similar issues, I have yet to find a solution. My problem is this:
I am trying to record myself using a piece of software which contains numerous text fields. In the past, when using Captivate 3, I would simply fill out these fields and Captivate would record my entries automatically. When the project was played back, the training simulation would pause and allow the user to type in the text field and provided the entry matched the options I had defined, the simulation would continue to the next step.
So, my colleague and I have since bought Adobe Tech. Comms. Suite 2 and have upgraded Captivate 3 to version 4. Ever since doing this we have both been unable to successfully capture text entry boxes with their content when recording automatically in any mode. We have checked and triple checked the settings to make sure that the automatic capture of text entry in fields is turned on yet we still cannot get Captivate to perform this task it once so easily could. We both suffer from the same problem on both of our installations of Captivate 4. We have tried recording in all modes with no success.
I am tearing my hair out as I need to come up with some sample content for a major Governmental client which would be worth a 5 figure sum to my company and I really don't relish having to manually create every text entry box as there are a LOT of them in this application!
I have also reported this as a bug to Adobe using the correct form. As yet, no response.
I would really appreciate any genuine help that can be offered by you guys.
In desperation,
Rob.

Ok, I think I've sussed it!
I've been pulling my hair out for weeks on this and after posting on here, I decided to try something and I think I may have found the problem.
I work with a laptop as I am a Trainer and therefore quite mobile. When I'm in the office, I dock my laptop and use the Extended Desktop functionality of Windows so I have my laptop screen and a second 19" monitor which i find incredibly useful as screen real estate is always at a premium. And this is where I believe the problem lies.
I performed a simple test and have repeated this test with identical outcomes everytime. Here is what I did. I fired up Captivate and Outlook and opened up a new mail window in Outlook. I then set Captivate to record the new mail window and hit record. I typed some text into the To field and the Subject field and then stopped the recording. I then previewed the results. When the new mail window was on my primary screen, (i.e the laptop) the Text Entry Box recording worked 100% fine. However, if the new mail screen was residing on my secondary screen, i.e. the monitor, the Text Entry Box recording failed!
So it would seem that Captivate 4 has an issue with seeing the text entered on a secondary monitor when Windows is running in Extended Desktop mode. I am absolutely certain this wasn't an issue with Captivate 3 as I created plenty of content without any of these problems and I was using the Extended Desktop back then.
So, if anyone else is having the same issue, and you are running an Extended Desktop, try what I did above.
In the meantime, I am raising this issue with Adobe in the hope they can get this fixed, but at least now I can carry on with my content creation

How do I incorporate text entry boxes into a quiz?

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to Captivate 8. I am trying to incorporate TEB's into a quiz. When I try to check the button (include in quiz) it is grey and does not allow me to check it. In addition I do not know how to let the programme know what text I would consider correct or incorrect after the student has typed it into the text boxes.
I am obviously missing something and would be very grateful for help because I am losing my patience ++ (all the videos on the web regarding this do not appear to be for captivate 8, only earlier versions :-()
Thanks
Alex

Hey everybody.
Im very new to Adobe Captivate and I try to create questions where the students have to enter numbers only. So I don't want them to be able to enter letters in to the field.
In text entry boxes I'm able to set it to numbers only. Is there a way to control this in quizzes as well?
If I try to create a new question I get only the choice showed on the pic below. Is there a possibility to add text entry boxes as quiz questions to the question-pool?
