Hotspot Question

Hi Vimal!

I would get around this by inserting a regular slide and then converting it to a hotspot instead of starting with a hotspot question slide. This should allow you to use your own submit button. An article that may help is here: https://community.articulate.com/series/5/articles/converting-an-existing-slide-to-a-freeform-interaction

I hope this helps!

Keepin' the joy,

Hi Vimal! Looks like Patti has popped in to assist you here :)

Thanks Patti,

But It's still working on the same way. I don't want the click effect on submit button.

You can do the same thing with a pick one question.

Hi Vimal,

I'd agree with Walt here, as a pick one won't have that same type of indicator, but a hotspot question always will - and therefore if the user clicks on another button such as the submit since it's still on the slide that'll impact how the hotspot works. 

if you add the submit button to player and set it so you cannot click on the base layer and then set trigger on hotspot to show layer when user clicks

Ah! The workaround I always forget about. Thanks Phil! 

Thanks phil, It's working fine.. :)

Seems to me that the hotspot interaction should be restricted to the image that is added in form view. You shouldn't be able to click all over the user interface. This causes a lot of problems with custom navigation.

I'm don't understand Phil's solution. If you can't click on the base layer, you won't be able to click the hotspot.

Hi Paul,

In Phil's solution, the user would have already clicked the hotspot and that is forcing the showing of the layer. That way they're able to click on the submit button once it's appearing on the layer, and not change the answer associated with the hotspot. 

When I create hotspot questions, I do the following:

• Remove the Submit button on the player
• Select the By Player ButtonSubmit Option
• Create my own button that submits the interaction on a new layer that is shown when the timeline starts.

This allows me to select and get an indicator before clicking submit. You could add a frame shape object around the image (and make it transparent if necessary) and that will keep you from being able to click anywhere but on the image. See the attached .story for an example

Thanks Bill. 

I was able to use the pick one question as Walt suggested.

Seems to me if you have to use all these workarounds to get the hotspot question type to work, maybe the hotspot question wasn't designed properly.

Simply restrict the clicking area to the image you add in form view.
