Adding and Managing Objects
Last updated 4/22/2010
The merging feature is useful in several situations. For example, suppose you import a large image into a slide that
contains other objects. You can merge the image into the slide so that it becomes a static background for the other
objects. You can also make text a permanent part of a slide by creating a transparent text caption and then merging the
caption.
1 Open the slide that contains the object you want to merge.
2 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the object that you want to merge into the slide, for example, an
image, caption, or click box.
3 Select Merge Into Background from the pop-up menu.
4 The object is merged into the slide.
Note: Merging objects in a slidelet into the background will merge the object into the slidelet background.
Edit object information in the Advanced Interaction
dialog box
In the Advanced Interaction dialog box, you can view and edit all interactive objects in your project. The Advanced
Interaction dialog box opens in a separate window. When you’re done reviewing and changing the interactive object
properties, click Close.
Note: The dialog box is complex. To make reviewing the project information easier, print the dialog box.
1 In an open project, select Project > Advanced Interaction, or press F9.
The Advanced Interaction dialog box appears, populated with a collapsible list of all interactive objects in the
project.
2 Filter the list by clicking the buttons at the top of the dialog box that correspond to the object types that you want
to view.
Note: You can choose to filter by all scorable objects, click boxes, text entry boxes, buttons, questions, or hidden slides.
3 Click a slide title or object to select it.
The properties appear in the following columns:
Slide/Object This column shows the slide or object name.
Instance Name This column shows the name of the object’s instance.
On Success This column shows the navigation that follows the slide if the user successfully completes an object’s
action. For more information, see “Defining project navigation” on page 102.
Attempts This column shows the maximum number of attempts you have set as a limit for an interactive object.
On Failure If an object or slide has the possibility of failure (for example, if an incorrect answer is selected in a
multiple-choice question), this column shows where the slide leads after failure. For more information, see
“Defining project navigation” on page 102.
Shortcut View and edit keyboard shortcuts for a slide or object in this column.
Time Limit This column shows the time limit for specific objects.
Points This column shows the total points associated with each slide.
Add To Total This column allows you to add or remove scored objects from the total points.
