Text being weird

[gamefreak202]

Yeah, I don't know if I did something wrong or what, but I'm making a chat program, and I made some paths when it first starts to make it look nicer.

Now when all the objects reach the end of the paths, I go to type in my username and it wont let me! The bar thing wont come off the Rich edit object.

And on top of that, it wont let me click the log in button.

I have no clue if this is a bug or if I just screwed up somewhere....but....here's the file anyway:

(NOTE: On the first frame, press enter to move to the chat. And I didn't finish all the paths yet...)

Just so everyone knows, this has been fixed in the File Archive thread.

Thanks, But I don't want to make a new topic for this question:

You can make an event for when the Rich edit object is VISIBLE....but how would one do it when its invisible? Theres no event there that lets me do so.

negate the "Is visible" event?

[gamefreak202]

negate?

[Cocodrilo]

Negate = the opposite to "Is visible", which will then means "Is Invisible".

Right click on the condition and choose "Negate".

ok. One more question.

In the chat program, if you move the line thing (hte one that goes where your about to type) to the rich edit object, then back to the edit object, then send a message, the message is sent where the bar was instead of the last line.

Any way to make it so this doesn't happen?

Oh, and the newer version that I'm having the problem with:

Thanks again

The bar that marks the point for text entry is the "caret". I think that the Rich Edit object has an action to set the caret to the end of whatever's in it - I think it might be the "Control -> Set line/character number" actions, but I haven't used it myself.
