Adding and removing hot object distractors

You can change the default number of six distractors (choices) by adding additional 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, 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.
  4. Add the instance name to the Component Inspector panel for the hot object.

    The component does the rest of the work for you 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), then display the Component Inspector panel by opening it from the Property inspector, if necessary.
  3. Remove the deleted object's instance name from the list in the Component Inspector panel.
