Changing the images in a graphical learning interaction

For Drag and Drop, Hot Spot, and Hot Object learning interactions, you change the appearance of the graphic distractors (the selectable choices in a learning interaction) in the interaction to suit the purposes of your course.

 
To change the images in a graphical learning interaction:

1

Select the learning interaction movie clip and choose Modify > Break Apart.

2

Select the placeholder graphical objects, such as the four placeholder Drag objects and four placeholder Target objects, and delete them.

3

To add your own custom Drag object(s), create or import a graphic and convert it to a movie clip symbol (Insert > Convert to Symbol).

4

Place an instance of the symbol in the desired location on the Stage. In the Property inspector, type the name of the movie clip instance, such as DragA, in the Instance Name text box.

5

In the Component Parameters panel for the interaction, enter the same instance name (such as DragA) of the movie clip in the appropriate Name text box. The Component Parameters panel should include only the unique instance names of the movie clips that you're using for the current interaction.

6

Repeat steps 2-4 for additional graphical objects within the interaction.

Note: The graphics for navigation buttons and for True or False and Multiple Choice interactions are created using UI components. Changing these graphics is recommended only for intermediate and advanced users. For more information, see Flash Help > Using Flash > Using Components. You can also resize and slightly modify the appearance of these graphics. See Changing push buttons, check boxes, and radio buttons.
