Target area interactions

You can create interesting interactions by letting a user drag an object to a target area. For example, you can ask the user to create a map by dragging countries to their proper location; to assemble a machine by dragging its parts to fit together; to trace the flow of a process by arranging each stage in the correct sequence; or to reconstruct history by lining up events in the order in which they actually happened. You can also create an interaction that gives a user the freedom to landscape a garden or rearrange the furniture in a room. You use the Authorware target area response type for these interactions.

For each target area response type symbol you attach to an interaction icon, Authorware displays a target area on the screen. You then drag the object to connect with the target area to its proper place onscreen. Authorware moves the target area to the location you've indicated. For specific procedures, see Target areas--step-by-step procedures.
