Blinking/flashing mouse pointer

I'm working with the demo version of Adobe Captivate 3, and
so far I'm liking it a lot. The problem I'm having, though, is that
in full-motion capture mode, the mouse cursor blinks constantly at
a high rate. It makes it hard to see where I'm clicking.
The pointer theme is Windows' default, and I tried disabling
hardware accelleration.
What is going on here?
Josh

I don't use full-motion capture mode, Josh, so I may be no
help (Captivate really isn't designed to be used as a full-motion
capture device - IMHO). But obviously there is a problem, so let's
try to troubleshoot it.
Have you tried a totally different mouse scheme (Windows
Control Panel > Mouse)? To see if it is an issue with the colors
in the OS, try changing to 16 bit color mode (Control Panel >
Display > Settings). If that is no help, I think the next thing
I might look at is the color scheme of your desktop ... as in
switching to Windows Classic color scheme. That will eliminate a
few millions of colors from each slide (screen capture). Any help
yet? I am just throwing out what suggests itself, and as you can
see, I am treating it as a color or display adapter issue ... could
be entirely wrong, but we gotta start somewhere.

  • Flashing Mouse pointer when sharing desktop

    I have a problem when sharing my desktop - The Flashing Mouse pointer makes me ill.  It's like a seizure-inducing strobe and gives me instant nausea.
    I read that this flashing is by design.  If this is the case, can anyone suggest a workaround or an alternative version of Lync/OCS since I need to share my desktop as part of my job so this is a real problem for me.
    Thanks
    Tom

    When others control your desktop, it is unavoidable to see the flashing mouse pointer.
    If you just want to share specific programs, you can choose share program only.

  • Stutter noise and flashing mouse pointer upon starting or restarting

    Hi,
    Please help me with an issue:
    Upon starting or restarting computer, pointer starts flashing with a stutter noise (at the same rhythm) also pointer selects items randomly, or won't select any.
    One temporary but not permanent fix is if I deactivate then reactivate Adobe Shockwave via Firefox.
    Thanks so much,
    Lynn

    Thank you for your response - I'll give it a go.
    Also, just to update, my iMac cursor seems to glitch a little bit less now. It seems that at least ONE of my problems may have been caused by sitting my iPhone upon my WACOM tablet. The tablet must receive some sort of disruption from having my phone on it - and removing it seems to remedy a fraction of my mouse-jumping problems - if only for a meanwhile.
    The mouse cursor still does jump around on its own occasionally, and the other mouse problems do persist - so this must not be the only culprit for my array of problems.

  • Acrobat 9 flash/flex form scrolling and hand mouse pointer problems

    Hello.
    There is pdf file with embeded flash swf file inside. Main business logic has been implemented on flash: there are drop-down interactive menu and  navigation links.
    I've noticed 2 problems related to Acrobat (flash movie itself, standalone, works correctly):
    1. Scrolling over drop-down menu doesn't work: mouse wheel doesn't scroll content of drop-down form menu. So, I have to manually click on scroll bar.
    2. Hand mouse pointer over links losses "hand" icon. Hand icon shows for short period and then disappears but should be visible while mouse pointer is over a link.
    I managed to test these problems on Windows, MacOS with Acrobat Proffessional 9.0 and Acrobat Reader 9.1
    So, Is there any way to resolve these problems?
    Thanks in advance

    I'll take a look at these.  #1 is a known issue with Flash Player and is already being looked at, haven't heard about #2 though.

  • Mouse pointer is well above where it should be on Flash Player.

    Every time I use a Flash Player window in Firefox, the mouse pointer is horrifically inaccurate. For example, on an online flash game, I'll be hovering over the top of three interactive boxes, but if I click it will click on the bottom box. It's as if it's cut off the bottom half of the player to click into and only allowed the top half, but when you click in the top half, it responds in the bottom half.
    A really odd scenario, hopefully someone can help me out because it's stopping me playing any form of online flash game and that's how I pass most of the time!

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Mouse pointer flashing like crazy

    Since the last Flash update, Firefox crashes once or twice a day. According to the error reports sent, Flash did cause those crashes. Now there’s a new bug: the mouse pointer flickers like mad. I know it is Flash, because I killed the process in the task manager, and the mouse returned to normal. It’s not likely to be Firefox’s fault, but I thought I should still report it here to get it on record. Maybe Adobe will remedy this latest, highly buggy version of Flash.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting

  • The latest flash plugin 10.3.181.34 makes my mouse pointer disappear when pointer not moving (Windows Vista) - any thoughts?

    When I start firefox 6.0 beta, the mouse pointer disappears once firefox has initialized itself. If I move the mouse pointer, it reappears, then disappears again when it is at rest.
    If I disable the flash plugin, the mouse pointer behaves normally, i.e. it is always visible.

    Firefox 5.0 does the same thing as stated above.

  • Plus and minus instead of mouse pointer

    http://www.rwphotographic.com/#/recent/pbs
    On the site above, the designer has managed to replace the mouse pointer with a plus (+) or minus (-) depending on where the mouse pointer is (either the left hand side of the screen or the right).
    I'd like to know how I could achieve this via AS3, if this is a possibility.
    It will still need to work when the browser is resized however.
    Thanks if you can help.

    This code shows either plus or minus depending over which half of green rectangle mouse is:
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.ui.Mouse;
    var plus:Shape = makePlus();
    var minus:Shape = makeMinus();
    var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
    var g:Graphics = sprite.graphics;
    g.beginFill(0x008040);
    g.drawRect(0, 0, 200, 200);
    g.endFill();
    addChild(sprite);
    sprite.x = sprite.y = 50;
    var spritVerticalCenter:Number = sprite.x + sprite.width * .5;
    sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onSpriteOver);
    sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onSpriteOut);
    onSpriteOut();
    function onSpriteOut(e:MouseEvent = null):void
         Mouse.show();
         plus.visible = false;
         minus.visible = false;
         stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
    function onSpriteOver(e:MouseEvent):void
         Mouse.hide();
         addChild(plus);
         addChild(minus);
         stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
         onMouseMove();
    function onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent = null):void
         plus.x = minus.x = mouseX;
         plus.y = minus.y = mouseY;
         plus.visible = mouseX > spritVerticalCenter;
         minus.visible = mouseX < spritVerticalCenter;
    function makePlus():Shape {
         var s:Shape = new Shape();
         var g:Graphics = s.graphics;
         g.lineStyle(4, 0xff0000);
         g.moveTo( -8, 0);
         g.lineTo(8, 0);
         g.moveTo(0, -8);
         g.lineTo(0, 8);
         return s;
    function makeMinus():Shape {
         var s:Shape = new Shape();
         var g:Graphics = s.graphics;
         g.lineStyle(4, 0xff0000);
         g.moveTo( -8, 0);
         g.lineTo(8, 0);

  • Why can I now highlight text with mouse pointer in Adobe Reader 9

    I just downloaded Adobe Reader X. I think I prefer Reader 9. I don't like being able to click in the document and have a flashing place mark (right terminology?) there. This is now happening in the Reader 9 version too, and I can copy text this way, but I don't want this. I didn't change any preferences. Can anyone help?

    Like I said, I didn't change any of the preferences, so I don't know why this happened. I think it only happened after I opened Adobe Reader X. I see no options in preferences for turning on or off the ability to highlight text with your mouse pointer, and I thought you were not supposed to be able to do this in Adobe Reader 9.

  • Lenovo G550 - Keyboard/Mouse/Pointer Issues - PLEASE HELP Tech suppport couldn't.

    I spent over an hour on the phone with Lenovo tech support last week to try to solve this issue and it is not solved. The guy had never heard of it and kept researching how to fix it.  I personally  have this feeling that it's a very very simple issue but I can't figure out how to correct it.  I've changed mouse/pointer settings and it still isn't working.  I love my new laptop in every other way but i'm getting so frustrated with it I'm ready to send it back because of the problem with the mouse/pointer.  So if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it greatly.
    I will be typing and out of nowhere the cursor will move to wherever the mouse is...or it will highlight everything I just typed and delete it.  I've had to type much slower and keep moving the mouse but when i'm working on my projects and typing away and highlighting/editing, I get into the work and it's a pain in the rear when the cursor suddenly moves a paragraph up and I am still typing away and sometimes don't realize it until i've typed another two sentences.  Hence the typing slower.
    Today it deleted discussion posts I had typed up for my online classes before I had hit submit. Causing me to waste another 30 minutes trying to retype what I'd already done.  I was ready to throw this laptop in the garbage.
    I decided to not do that and post in this forum in the hopes that someone will be able to help me.
    Thank you,
    Komal

  • Why does my mouse pointer disappears when hovering over Firefox?

    When I'm over the Firefox window, my mouse pointer disappears, unless I'm typing or actively using my mouse.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == This morning after updating to the latest version, but before I had restarted Firefox to fully install the new version.

    it seems that flash player is causing this problem because when i disable it, everything is fine. i even tried to install older versions of flash player (9.+) but pointer still starts to disappear. i'm using Windows XP. it happens on the both of my computers and it started at the same time (during the last week) i don't know what to do next..
    thank you in advance

  • Disable the mouse pointer icon!

    As in the title, is there a way to disable the mouse pointer
    icon, ie when you rollover the button it changes to the "finger". I
    dont want to see the "finger" I just want it to remain as the
    "arrow"

    quote:

    Well, I must by now reply to all of you.
    First, "urami" made a good point when referring to kiosk
    interfaces. It makes sense to have no roll over in this case and I
    fully agree with this statement.
    But in the case of the interfaces we commonly create in Flash
    we need the finger icon to indicate that there is a photo-button or
    a drawing-button or a clickable text here and, if we want to "hide"
    it or if we do not want the user click it, we can with simple
    functions (related to _x and _y mouse position) disable or enable
    depending the circumstances the hot spot when the pointer rolls
    over it.
    The quoted remark of "DMennenoh" is not relevant.
    Why? Simply because in the OS all buttons are clearly
    designed as... buttons! There is no need to change the pointer icon
    as we perfectly know what we are going to do and where we must move
    the pointer to do the action: Open, Save, etc. And it is not only
    the case for buttons, it's also the case for the menu bar...
    In the interfaces we design, it is not always the case.
    In all my interfaces, I always have in mind these:
    How shall I react if I see this interface for the first time?
    What can I do and where?
    I suppose you'll agree with me if I say that some interfaces
    are so bad that it is very helpful to have the finger icon just to
    indicate that the area under the pointer is clearly a hot spot...
    I think this discussion is far from ending...

  • How to stop mouse pointer from being included on screenshots

    Hey guys I was hoping someone could help me with this problem.
    I am creating a software simulation and have decided to use Captivate 6.  When capturing the appropriate screenshots i have noticed that the mouse pointer is being included with these. I DO NOT want the mouse pointer to be included within the screenshot.
    I know how to disable the mouse pointer when setting my preferences before creaing the simulation, however, the mouse pointer is still being included in the screenshots. Here is an example below.. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Garrett
    Example: I orginally wanted to show the user's log in menu, but once I clicked "Login" the mouse pointer stuck to the screenshot. I don't want this mouse pointer to be there

    I actually chose Demo and assessment.  The mouse is not what I want to see in the slides. The timeline does not show a mouse at all because I have that functionality disabled. What I really want is to essentially replicate an application. I want the user to be able to start this captivate project from a flash drive and actually have the applications GUI with limited functionality (for training purposes). I am starting to think there is a problem with the application I am trying to replicate. I have a software product that I must start on a virtual machine. Once the virtual machine is up and running then can I actually start the application. I have already done two of these with different applications and had no problem at all with the mouse pointer disappearing. This one, however, is being very difficult. Maybe its because im using QNX?

  • Mouse pointer/cursor clicking fails while screen sharing in Messages & iChat

    Has anyone else had this problem?
    My work partner is sharing her screen using iChat on OS 10.6.8 and I'm controlling it with Messages on OS 10.8.3 - usually working on Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
    Every few minutes or so, I lose the ability to click anything on her screen. Audio/video works fine, and my keyboard commands run fine on her computer, I can usually even move the pointer fine but, clicking my mouse or trackpad has no affect on her computer. This is sometimes accompanied by a flashing stalled pointer.
    We can usually fix it by having her click her mouse/trackpad a couple times and then I can continue with clicking again from mine.
    But, sometimes she's not at the computer so there's no way for me to recover screen share clicking when her computer is unattended.
    We both have high speed internet with 10+mb down and 5+mb up speeds.
    I've also tried it with bluetooth off and still have the same problem.
    Does anyone know how to recover from failed mouse clicking during screen sharing?
    Thanks.

    HI,
    I have not see this but at the same time I do not Screen Share as extensively as you seem to describe.
    One interpretation I could out on this from what you have written is that not only is your girlfriend getting bored and wondering Off  ( ) but her computer may also be going to sleep.
    I have never waited long enough for one of my other computers to go to Sleep during a Screen Share to find out what happens.
    1) does the Share Screen go dark ?
    2) do you lose the connection as it closes the network ?
    3) Is a Screen Saver starting that you can see ?
    4) what does your girlfriend see when this happens ?
    I would guess there is something about the VNC part of the iChat Screen Sharing that stops the Shared computer going to sleep.
    However I am not sure if a Screen Saver can be active or if you are bumping into the time set for one to start.
    I would also be interested in what the other computer is doing in a "behind the scenes" way.
    Is something using up the Processor cycles and holding up the Share view as it were ?
    I would guess her computer is doing something on it's own such as fetching Mail or similar or even the Time Machine Back up which can be known to cause the computer to be held up for a moment or two.
