Ways to interact

You can give users any of five different ways to interact:

• Click a button, a hot spot, or a hot object

  See:

  Buttons--step-by-step procedures

  Hot spots--step-by-step procedures

  Hot objects--step-by-step procedures

• Select an item from a pull-down menu

  See Pull-down menus--step-by-step procedures.

• Enter text

  See Text entry--step-by-step procedures.

• Press a key

  See Keypress responses--step-by-step procedures.

• Drag an object to a target

  See Target areas--step-by-step procedures.

You can also track and react to the following circumstances during an interaction:

• The number of tries a user has made

  See Tries limit--step-by-step procedures.

• The amount of time that has elapsed since the interaction began

  See Time limit--step-by-step procedures.

• Any condition that can be true or false

  See Conditional responses--step-by-step procedures.

Finally, you can track and react to events produced by components such as ActiveX controls embedded in an Authorware piece. For more details, see Events--step-by-step procedures.

Each of these ways of interacting is easy to set up with a response type symbol.
