About graphic distractors

The Drag and Drop, Hot Object, and Hot Spot interactions use placeholder instances. To change the appearance of the interaction, you can either delete the existing instances and register new instances, or you can replace or modify the symbols.

If you'll use a graphic interaction more than once in the Timeline, or if you don't want to change the interaction movie clip that exists in the library, you must follow a process that deletes the existing instances and names and registers instances of new movie clips. The original interaction remains unchanged in the library, and available for use again. In this tutorial, you'll follow this process with the Drag and Drop interaction.

If you know that you will not use the same type of graphic interaction more than once in your movie, you can replace the existing movie clips with movie clips that have exactly the same name. The interaction reflects the changes and updated art. In this tutorial, you'll follow this process with the Hot Object interaction.

You can also edit the movie clip symbol. You'll follow this process for the Hot Spot interaction.
