Add or remove hot spot distractors
A Hot Spot learning interaction can contain up to eight distractors (choices). To change the default number of six distractors, add more distractors or delete existing distractors.
In general, you place the hot spot distractors over another graphic that the user is really intended to see. To make hot spot assets semi-invisible during authoring to visualize this effect, turn the alpha effect setting down on each hot spot. The interaction scripts override this setting at runtime.
Add a hot spot distractor
- Create a movie clip symbol containing the graphics for the distractor object. For example, to add a seventh choice to an image that will have six hot spots, create a movie clip of the seventh graphic and place it in the library.
- Select the hot spot component on the Stage and drag the symbol from the Library panel to the Stage.
- In the Property inspector, name the instance.
- Add the instance name to the Component inspector for the hot spot.
Remove a hot spot distractor
- Select the hot spot instance to remove and delete it from the Stage.
- Select the Hot Spot component (to the left of the Stage in the quiz template) and display the Component inspector (Window > Component Inspector).
- Remove the deleted object’s instance name from the list in the Component inspector.
