Independent Correct Hot Spots that change states
Mar 19, 2015
Hello everyone!
I need to test a person’s knowledge of where the location of a specific nerve is on the arm. I am showing them a black and white picture of the front and back arm nerves. There are 18 different nerves (9 on the front view, 9 on the back view). When they click on a nerve I would like it to change to a color on both the front and back side of the arm. I have to take into account the correct nerve could be select on the front or back of the arm.
I found several posts in the community, but they do not quite fit what I need to do. I’m wondering if any of you may have suggestions. Thanks for any help!

Instead of hotspots, I would use transparent, freeform shapes. See attached a quick example with the top two muscles (yellow and blue) 'enabled'. Hope that gives you some ideas.
Thanks Mike for the help, but I need it to act like a quiz. I have to test them on particular nerves.
You could turn this interaction into a Freeform Pick Many questiontype. See here for info.
Thanks Mike! It looks like that will work. I appreciate your help.
Glad Michael was able to assist you here Kathy!
Mike,
Thanks for the inspiration. I played around with your example and was able to create a variation.
I realized that once a freeform was created, another freeform can be added to the states. I knew from your example the normal state could be set to transparency on both images. So I could create both the anterior and posterior view on the same freeform. Yah!
I also wanted the learner to change their mind before clicking Submit. To do this their previous choice needed to be reset to the beginning. Again, seeing your example I used triggers to set the states to Normal (reset) if any of the other freeforms were set to Selected.
Finally, I wanted this slide to be a quiz. Again, from your post I converted this to a Freeform Pick One. The only downside was I had to rebuild the states, but really that was not a big deal.
Thanks for the ideas!
Kathy, I had a peek at your freeform interaction, looks good!
