Adding and removing multiple-choice distractors

You can include from one to eight distractors (choices) in a Multiple Choice learning interaction. You can change the default number of six distractors by adding additional distractors or deleting existing distrators.

To add a multiple-choice distractor:

  1. Select the frame with the Multiple Choice learning interaction in the Timeline.
  2. Open the Flash UI Components folder in the Library panel (Window > Library) and drag a CheckBox component 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 multiple-choice distractor.

    The component does the rest of the work for you at runtime.

To remove a multiple-choice distractor:

  1. Select the CheckBox instance that you want to remove, and delete it from the Stage.
  2. Select the Multiple Choice component (to the left of the Stage in the quiz template), then display the Component Inspector panel (Window > Development Panels > Component Inspector).
  3. Remove the deleted object's instance name from the list in the Component Inspector panel.
