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?

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. -

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.

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.

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. -
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 Entry Box not showing all text
I am creating a simple exercise where I would like the user to copy text from the course, paste it into word, and report back what the word count is. I thought perhaps the Text Entry Box would be the best way to go, since if you click on the existing (default) text, you can copy it. However after I place the paragraph of text in the box, and resize in the editor so that all the text shows, it does not show all the text when playing back, either previewd or published. It only shows the last few words of the last line at the top of the box.
Is there something I am missing? Or, is there an easier/better way to do what I need?
ThanksHi all
If this is Captivate 4, there may not be any need for a widget to do this. I'm guessing you haven't tried enabling the Scroll Bar for the Text Entry Box (TEB)?
When I just plop a TEB on a slide, I get this in edit view:
During playback it looks like this:
But if I edit the TEB properties and enable the Show Scrollbar option:
I get this in the output:

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!!!!
NoelHi 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

[Help] Password input box NOT showing up at all.
The actual box used to type the password in just will not show up. My phone can only be turned on my swiping the screen up. Everything else shows up, the time, email and text noticications, but when I swipe the screen up all the way I am left with a dimmed background and the black bar that goes across the top of the screen. I've had a password on my phone for over 3 months and haven't turned it off.
I can't restart my phone because the power button is broken and sticks if pressed... meaning it will turn itself on and off continuously for hours on end until I wiggle it out of place.
Is there any way to fix this other than waiting... a full 24 hours, probably, since I just charged my phone, for the battery to die?
Solved!

"InfoObject" with Text data is not showing description/heading/text in IDT...
Dear All,
I'm working on SAP NetWeaver 7.3 and I have an InfoCube for QM and recently I had a requirement to add an "InfoObject" which will show text. I added it into InfoCube and after loading my transaction data, I could see the text of newly added InfoObject as well on "LISTCUBE" transaction. I refreshed the "Data Foundation Layer" on BO tool "Information Design Tool" and also inserted Candidate InfoObject (my newly added InfoObject"). But when I tried to show its values for "InfoObject" its showed me its values. But when I tried to show its text (heading) it threw following error:
1. Firstly, I could not find Text Table or table for the newly InfoObject into "Data Foundation Layer" why?
2. Why am I getting able error?
3. Have I missed some step in BW which is causing an issue for not "Generating SID" for this InfoObject "Master Data Text"?
4. How to resolve the above issue as I want to show its text into "InfoSpace" or BusinessObject Explorer?
Many thanks!!!

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,

Hi there
Working with captivate 4 and advanced actions, which is a great new feature, I encounter the following problem:
I have a sign-in slide, where the user has to insert his name and several other data. For user-friendly handling, I have the text entry boxes appearing one after another, so when the user confirms his entry, the next text entry box appears and has the focus.
The button for jumping to the next slide works with an advanced action:
Only if the user has filled out all the text entry boxes, the action "jump to the next slide" is performed.
If not, an error message is shown.
It works well so far.
Now, I want the project to pause there, and not to jump back to the beginning of the slide (as suggested in another Thread in this forum), because then the text entry boxes dissappear again.
I tried to set the movie control variable rdcmndPause to 1 in order to make the movie pause, but nothing happens.
I tried it with an external playback control bar and without, it didn't work in either case.
I found the hint:
To control the project through the skin file, add the prefix cpSkinLoader_mc to the variables. This might be the solution.(?)
But how can I change the name of a MovieControl Variable?
If anyone knows, how this is supposed to work or has another suggestion to solve the problem, please let me now.
Thanks a lot.
PetraHi Petra,
I believe I can help you, but from a completely different angle than anything you've tried yet. I try to find simple solutions to complex problems. No advanced actions will be needed, just a little creative timing. First, I need to be sure I correctly understand what it is you're hoping to accomplish.
If I understand you correctly, you've got a single welcome slide. On this slide you've got several TEB's (text entry boxes), set up with variables to make your project more personal or gather some required information. These TEB's have no right or wrong answers, they simply require an entry: such as an address which begins with a numeric key. The TEB's are set to appear one after another, as one is completed the next one appears. Once all have been completed a next button, set to "jump to next slide" takes them to the next slide and on through your course. You want the project to pause until the user clicks this button, and only proceed if all TEB's have been entered. If not, you wish an error message to appear.
If the above description is correct, I'd do the following:
Leave your TEB's to show up one at a time as the previous is submitted, as you've described. (each one pauses the slide till info is submitted, then "continues" the slide and the next TEB displays)
Set each TEB to "display for rest of slide".
For the next button: In the properties dialog box, options tab, name the button "Next_button" and uncheck the visibility box.
Open the properties for the final TEB that students will fill in and set the on success property to "show" then choose the Next_button by clicking the drop down arrow beside the "show" field. This will hide the Next button until all TEB's have been filled in.
There is no error message, because there is no possibility of error. Why tell a student they've messed up, just eliminate that possibility! All TEB's only display after the previous is entered, and the Next button is hidden until the last TEB is entered.
I've tested this in a simple 3 slide project and it all worked fine, including some variables. If you need more detailed info, or would like to see the sample proj. I created let me know.
Hope this helps.

Text Entry Box not working right??
This is strange…. If anyone has any thoughts…
that would be great.
I have a slide that tests someone's knowledge for inputting
into a text entry box. I want to give them 2 tries for doing this
task - and if they don't perform the task correctly, I want an
error message to display. However, I want the error message to be
different based on the 1st time that they try and the second time.
The method to accomplish this.. I have done many times, and has
always worked. However, for some reason, it's not working this
time.
In order to customize the error message based on whether it's
the 1st try or the second - I have created 2 text entry boxes.
The first text entry box is set to display at 0 seconds, is
set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
entry they will continue on the same slide and a failure caption is
selected to display (this is the first error message that displays
for the first try.)
The second text entry box is set to display at 2 seconds, is
set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
entry they will continue on the same slide. No failure caption is
selected to display. This is the important point... I have not
selected for a failure caption to display for this text entry box.
I have a text caption that displays at 4 seconds - this is
the second error message that the user will see if they input an
incorrect text entry into the second text entry box.
Everything seems to work fine except... for some reason, when
I enter an incorrect text entry into the second text entry box, I
get the failure message that I set for the first text entry box.???
Very strange. I have recreated this 3 times - each time it works.
Then, all of a sudden, it stops working. I’ve even tried
recreating the movie from scratch… but same results.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
LynnHi again
Okay, makes sense. I suppose in this case, I'd simply use
another slide. From what you have explained, it would appear there
is a possible issue Captivate is having with multiple text entry
boxes on the same slide.
So I would insert a slide following the existing slide. Then
on failure of the first text entry box, direct to the next slide.
On success of the first text entry box, skip over the new slide to
the proper "continue" slide.
Hopefully that makes sense... Rick -
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"/>
and then it is saved in the Database...
I have another form called ChangeRecord so that the user can change the heading or Subject..
How do i populate the name already in DB in the TextInput Box above... There is no dataProvider pram in TextInput...
I have the following:
CODE
[Bindable] public var NR:ArrayCollection;
private function resultNR(event:ResultEvent):void{
NR:ArrayCollection(event.result);
<mx:TextInput text="Enter Subject Here"/>
Any help is appreciated.Hi,
Post this over at the flex general discussions forum - they'll have better answers for this.

My calculation "Total" box adds sum of all text fields whether they are visible or not, do I change
I have check boxes that show and hide text fields. (Thanks to Gilads Java script). In options I have a default value for each text field.
My "Total" Field field adds all fields even if they are not checked and visible. Need to have it only include them if they are checked and visible.You can't attach forms by email, or any other means, so it didn't come through.
Since your fields have default values and aren't calculated based on the state of the corresponding check box, you will have to use a custom calculation script for the Total field that can check to see if any of the fields are hidden, and if so, don't include their values in the sum. For example:
// Custom calculation script
(function () {
// Set up an array of field names to include in the total
var aFields = ["text1", "text2", "text3", text4"];
// Initialize variables
var i, f, sum = 0;
// Loop through the fields an calculate the sum
for (i = 0; i < aFields.length; i += 1) {
// Get the current field
f = getField(aFields[i]);
// Add the value of the current field to the sum if the field is visible
if (f.display == display.visible) {
sum += +f.value;
// Set this field value to the sum
event.value = sum;
You can send me a PM if you want help offline.
