Hot Spots - I can click anywhere and incorrect answer

As another option to this. Here is how I got around it.

1. Create the question slide as a hotspot slide.
2. Add the necessary hotspots and select the correct on in the form view.
3. Add an extra blank slide.
4. On the new blank slide add a trigger that jumps to the question slide when timeline starts on this slide.
5. Add a hotspot that covers the entire slide and be all other hotspots are on top of it.
6. Add a layer with a text box that instructs the learner to select a "highlighted" area or make an appropriate selection, etc.
7. Add a button/object (like a close/X button) with a trigger on the new layer that will jump to the blank slide.
8. On the base layer of the question slide set the Revisit Option to "Reset to Initial State".
9. Finally, be sure to modify the triggers for the Next/Continue buttons on the Incorrect and Correct layers to navigate to the appropriate slide (the default is next slide which might be the blank slide).

So now, if the user clicks anywhere that is not supposed to be a hotspot option (by clicking on the large all slide hotspot), it will show the new layer. Once the learner clicks on the close button on that layer, it will jump to the blank slide which will jump right back to the question slide and reset it. The one caveat is this resets the slide each time so if the want the user to have a specific number of tries beyond one, this option doesn't allow for that.
