Audio sometimes not playing/Textboxes unresponsive

Post by Sekoshiba » Sat Jan 11, 2014 6:39 pm

Hello, I've been having issues with audio features...Namely that on occasion the Audio will play and occasionally it will not. I can verify that the path directories for the .wav files are stationary.

The other issue I have been having is with text boxes in my program, If I use the "contents" of the object inspector to change it then I can delete it from the box manually...But no input to the box is possible...I've checked the stack/card inspectors to make sure user input is allowed, and it should be...I'm at a loss, gents, what could the issue be? :(

Hi Sekoshiba,
For the field (that's what we call them here not "text boxes") in it's property inspector basic settings unselect the "lock text", "share text" and select "Focusable" and "autoHilite". That is if you are talking about a Label Field. To the right of the icon that says Label: is another field already all set up for you called a text entry field.

Not sure about you audio problems, post a small stack displaying the problem.

Ahhh, my apologies for incorrectly wording what I meant. I meant to say a "text entry field", And I can confirm that everything you specified is as it should be...I checked the stack inspector and card inspector too, but I found nothing that would stop user input...

Is there perhaps a syntax for re-enabling user input or somesuch?

You should probably just drag a new text entry field on to the stack and see if that is working.
It's simple enough to do.

That's also an issue, Text entry fields become non-responsive the moment they are placed on the card, I am at a loss as to how to rectify this as aforementioned stack/card inspectors reveal nothing that to my knowledge would cause problems with user input :(

On no card throughout the program does a new text entry field accept user input, however input already in the field can be deleted...

New text entry fields not accepting input? Are you using a keydown handler?

Post your stack or a sample stack showing the problem.
