Pick many with one picture

Hey Jesse,

One approach is to use transparent shapes. Depending on how complex and detailed your screenshot is you can either use default shapes or draw your own with the freeform tool.

Then apply the appropriate triggers and/or variables to evaluate if the correct spots were selected.

As I wrote that last comment, a couple more ideas were popping into my head.

1. Add a counter on screen so when users click the transparent shapes a visual indicator will show them either correct/incorrect or count (provided you tell them how many spots they need to find).
2. Use a simple oval shaped button and reduce it's size so it's a small round button. Change the 'selected' state color for correct buttons and a different color for incorrect colors. Not really a hot spot but gives users a visual cue of all the possible selection locations. 
3. I built one of these multiple hot spot plus multiple feedback interactions awhile ago. I built a few custom animated SWF buttons that had a transparent top layer. When the user hovered over an area a similar pulsing animation occurred. If the user selected a correct spot, an outline of that spot highlighted. If the user selected an incorrect spot an outline of a different color highlighted.

My suggestion is draw it out on paper how you want it to behave. The think of behaviors - when this, then that. Once you get the overall design figured out, build a small test. Keep fudging with that test and exhaust all your ideas and what you can do with states, layers, triggers, and variables.

It'll take some work but it's doable. Kinda wishing it was my project

Good luck! 

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm starting to realize that only my imagination can limit me.

I did try this one, but the transparent shape does not glow when it's selected. 

Jesse, try this:

1. Create a shape
2. Format properties to 100% transparent
3. States tab > Edit States
4. Add new State > Selected
5. Select the new 'Selected' state shape.
6. Format tab (top toolbar) > Shape Effects > Glow > choose color and size
7. Click 'Done Editing'

You can do the same with a Hover state by following the above steps. Or you can have a Glow effect on the Hover state and another effect on the Selected state.
