Configuring a Multiple Choice interaction

In a Multiple Choice interaction the user responds to a question with multiple answers in which one or several answers can be correct.

To configure a Multiple Choice interaction:

1 | 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 Multiple Choice interaction. (Frame 4, if you have not added or removed keyframes.)
2 | Break the movie clip apart (Modify > Break Apart), display the Component Parameters panel, and then type the interaction ID and the question. See Configuring a Learning Interaction component.
3 | Type the possible responses for the interaction (A-E).
| Note: You do not need to provide five responses. You can delete a response, but be sure to replace it or move any following responses up to the previous text box, if necessary, so that there are no blank text boxes between responses.
4 | Select or deselect the Correct option to specify whether each response is considered correct or incorrect. You may have multiple correct answers.

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 Parameters panel for the multiple choice distractor.
| The component will do all 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 if you're using a quiz template), then display the Component Parameters panel (Window > Components).
3 | Remove the deleted object's instance name from the list in the Component Parameters panel.
| Note: If you register distractors for the Multiple Choice component that do not exist on the Stage, a Trace Output error message will appear when you test the movie.
