      Is their a way to remove the pause function on a text entry box? I creating a tutorial and I want to give the user the ability to enter a specific keystroke in the text box but if the user doesn't do anything for 5 or 6 seconds have the slide move on. Any help would be appreciated!

          Unfortunately no.  Other clickable interactive objects such as buttons and click boxes have an extra PauseAfter checkbox that when deselected will mean the object does not pause the timeline.

           

          However, the Text Entry Box does not have this option.  So it will always force the timeline to stop.

            Use the Scrolling Text Interaction to replace the TEB, you can allow to enter text, it is a static interaction which means it has no pausing and the entered text will be stored in the associated variable. Validation is another story...do you need it?

            That blog post shows some instances of the described interaction and about validation.
