@Mykal – no this will only work in Captivate 4 AS2 projects. I haven’t planned an upgrade to this yet since my to-do list is pretty full at the moment.

I added the widget to my project but the properties screen did not appear. Should it appear automatically or am I missed a step?

Hi Leticia,

How does the Retake Quiz button work? Are you doing a Jump to slide action? The best bet would probably be to create the TEB with the v_name input on one slide and start the quiz on the subsequent slide. Then you could change your “Retake Quiz” button to jump directly to the quiz part and skipping the slide where the user enters their name.

Hello Michael,

Not sure it this is possible; I have created a CP4 Quiz that uses the v_Name variable I also have conditions for the v_Name variable, I don’t want users to leave the v_Name TEB blank. There is a button at the end of the quiz (Retake Quiz) if the users fail the quiz. The Retake button links to the same quiz but I would like to remove the slide where they input their name on the subsequent visit.

Let me know if you would like to see my source files.

Any help is greatly appreicaited.

Thank you,
Leticia

@Lindsay

If you insert your variable in a text caption by clicking the variable button you will find a field determining the maximum length.

Simply set it to whatever you want from there and that should be it.

Great topic there Michael….. Going left field here and hoping someone can help. I want to apply the same environment to a text box for entering a sentence or a short paragraph. At the moment the ‘v_name’ in the demo is only allowing 35 characters. How do I extend this to include say 100 characters?
Thanking you in advance
