Changing buttons, check boxes, and radio buttons

The learning interactions use the Flash user interface (UI) Button, CheckBox, RadioButton and TextInput components. You must use these UI components within the learning interaction movie clips. The learning interaction scripts use the internal features of the UI components to function properly.

The quiz templates already contain all the necessary UI components for each interaction. To use UI components in Flash MX or later documents, you must publish the SWF file using ActionScript 2.0.

Sizing

The Button components used for the Control button and Reset button can be scaled to fit your needs, as can the CheckBox, RadioButton, and TextInput components.

To set the width and height of the Button, CheckBox, and RadioButton components:

Select the component and change its settings in the Property inspector.

UI component graphics

There is a defined process for changing the skin of a component. For more information, see Editing component skins.

UI component text

You can use the GlobalStyleSheet object to change the text characteristics of a UI component. For detailed information, see Setting control button labels for a learning interaction. See also Customizing Components.
