About using components within a learning interaction
To use Flash UI components with a learning interaction, you simply add the UI components
to the interaction assets and name their instances. You then need to register the instance
names with the component associated with that interaction. Each learning interaction already
contains the appropriate UI components as named instances. See
“Adding, naming, and
registering assets” on page 576 .
For complete documentation on the UI components, see Using Components .

UI components have a Component inspector associated with them. The learning
interaction scripts override the UI Component inspector at runtime. There is no need to
fill out individual parameters for each Button, CheckBox, RadioButton or TextInput
component.
