Adding and removing hot object distractors
You can change the default number of six distractors (choices) by adding more distractors or
deleting existing distrators. You can include from one to eight hot object distractors in a Hot
Object learning interaction.
To add a hot object distractor:
1. Create a movie clip symbol containing the graphics for the hot object distractor. For
example, if you have an interaction that has six types of fruit, and you want to add a seventh
choice, create a graphic of the seventh fruit and place it in the library.
2. Select the Hot Object component on the Stage, and then drag the symbol from the Library
panel to the Stage.
3.
In the Property inspector, name the instance. See “Naming and registering graphic
distractors” on page 579 .
4.
Add the instance name to the Component inspector for the hot object.
The component does the rest of the work automatically at runtime.
To remove a hot object distractor:
1. Select the Hot Object movie clip instance that you want to remove, and delete it from the
Stage.
2.
Select the Hot Object component (to the left of the Stage in the quiz template), and then
display the Component inspector by opening it from the Property inspector, if necessary.
3. Remove the deleted object’s instance name from the list in the Component inspector.
