Configuring 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.
An example of a hot spot interaction created with the quiz template
- 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 have not added or removed keyframes.)
- Break the movie clip apart (Modify > Break Apart), display the Component Inspector panel, and then type the interaction ID and the question. See Configuring a Learning Interaction component.
- For each hot area, select or deselect the Correct option to specify whether the object is considered a correct or incorrect response when the user clicks it. You can select multiple correct answers.
- If needed, enter a value for Up State Alpha. This sets the default transparency of the hot spots on the Stage—that is, the transparency before you click an area. To create completely transparent hot spots, enter 0 in the Up State Alpha text box.
- If needed, enter a value for Down State Alpha. This sets the transparency of the hot spots when they are selected. This setting may vary depending on the graphics in your document. You might want to use it to give users visual feedback after they have successfully clicked a hot spot.
- You can delete the placeholder instances on the Stage. Place your movie clips on the Stage and use the Property inspector to give each movie clip the same instance name that you specified in the Component Inspector panel.
