flash (macromedia) : More than one unique drag and drop interaction?

Can someone please tell me how I can have several UNIQUE drag and drop
interactions in the same quiz?

Here's what I'm doing:

- create new quiz from template
- select the same frame in every layer
(actions/title/interactions/controls/background)
- insert frame
- select the new frame in the interactions layer
- insert blank keyframe
- copy the existing frame that contains the drag and drop interaction (or
insert an altogether new interaction)
- paste the frame into the new blank frame (not necessary if an altogether new
interaction is inserted)
- select the drag and drop interaction in the new frame
- break apart the drag and drop interaction
- give the new drag and drop interaction a unique interaction ID
- repeat

This process doesn't work. I end up with the same drag and drop exercise
repeated on all of the new frames. I would have thought that giving each
interaction a unique interaction ID would be the trick, but it obviously isn't!

Please enlighten!

*The effect is the same no matter what sort of interaction you use. It doesn't
have to be drag and drop.

I am using the flash quiz component and it is mandatory that we load the swf
that contains this component into another moveclip. when the quiz is loaded
into another clip it breaks in many differnet ways because all the paths are
thrown off. is there an easy way to fix this?

thanks.

This doesn't really address your problem, but it is MY solution.

My experience has taught me that you should pretty much use components from MM
only as they come out of the box. If you want to do anything different it is
probably the best to build your own. You will spend probably about the same
amount of time trying to decipher and then cobble together a solution.

Are you exporting to Flash Player 7 .. if so there is a solution ..
otherwise you're stuffed unless you can fix the original movie, or load into
a level instead of a clip
