Configure a Hot Spot interaction
The Hot Spot learning interaction sets up an interaction in which the user responds by clicking an object (or objects)
onscreen.

If you are not using a quiz template, place the learning interaction on the Stage. If you are using a quiz template,
select the frame on the Interactions layer that contains the Hot Spot interaction (Frame 5, if you did not add or
remove keyframes).

Break the movie clip apart (Modify > Break Apart), display the Component inspector, and type the interaction ID
and the question.

For each Hot Spot interaction, select or deselect Correct to specify whether the object is considered a correct or

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.
