Name and register graphic distractors

Graphic distractors such as Drag objects, Target objects, hot spots, and hot objects must be named uniquely across all interactions. In a file with two Drag and Drop interactions, each containing four Drag objects, each of the eight Drag objects in the file must be named uniquely. A sequential naming scheme is usually the easiest to work with—for example, the Drag objects in the first interaction could be named Drag 1, Drag 2, Drag 3, and Drag 4, and the Drag objects in the second interaction could be named Drag A, Drag B, Drag C, and Drag D. This system ensures that the scripts work properly and the interactions behave as intended.
