CP5: Change mouse movements in recorded slides

Once again I have recorded a software demo with my recording settings set to show mouse movement. Before that I split the 880 resulting slides into projects of 100 slides each: is there a way to set mouse movement options to all the slides, specially to set the option "straight pointer path" for all mice in all slides?

Hi Rick,
thank you for the information. With this changing the pointer path works fine. So my main concern has been solved.
But there are still other options that I would like to handle more efficently like switching "Reduce Speed Before Click" on / off.
Then I would like to show user defined Mouse Clicks dependent on Single oder Double Click Mouse Click Sound and / or dependent on left or right mouse click. For example: Several slides contain these mouse options for a right click from recording (whether it is left or right can de determined by the text caption):
In all these slides I want to change the mouse options to:
Doing all these changes manually is very time consuming. And I wonder, whether there might be a better way to perform that task.

10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
Any help would be appreciated
BTW
Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.

Changing mouse paths on individual slides

Hi. I'm new to adobe captivate. Is there a way to edit not
just the position of the mouse cursor, but the mouse movement, on
each individual slide? Right now, the mouse movements don't appear
as recorded, at all. The position and movement seem to be inherited
from the previous slide, no matter what.
hope someone can help-

Hello again ksonta
As much as I wish I could, I cannot change the behavior of
Captivate. If I were able to do that, I'd be selling a competing
product and not using Captivate.
I'm sorry the behavior of the mouse in Captivate isn't what
you desire. But it is what it is. We either adapt and find
workarounds to make it appear to do what we want or we expend
wasted energy being constantly frustrated.
If you want to change both the start and the end positions,
you may also do that. Perhaps this is what you were hoping for?
To change both start and end positions, you duplicate the
slide immediately prior to where you want to control the start
position. Remember, you need to do this, because Captivate starts
mouse movement on a slide where it stopped on the slide before.
After duplicating the slide, delete all objects except the mouse on
the duplicated slide. Re-position the mouse where you want it to
start on the next slide. Then adjust the timing for both the slide
and the mouse to be .1 seconds. During playback, the mouse should
travel, then almost instantly reposition to the new start point.
Maybe this helps?
Hope so... Rick

Mouse movement always added

I have unchecked the box that says record mouse movement, and
yet Captivate is always adding the mouse into my newly recorded
slides, forcing me to delete them.
Is there any way to change this behavior?

Hi RedScare
Are you talking about generically opening Captivate and
recording an entirely new project? Or are you instead talking about
adding additional slides to an existing project?
Either way, I would think Captivate should respect any
settings in place and give you what you want. So it's possible you
may be seeing a new issue that needs to be reported to the
development team.
As a workaround, if it's giving you mouse movement and you
really don't want it, you may easily turn the mouse off for a group
of slides by selecting all the slides containing the mouse
movement, then clicking Slide > Mouse > Show Mouse to turn it
off for the selection. That would save having to change it
individually on many slides.
How did this project begin life? Was it started in perhaps
Captivate 1 or 2 and later converted to 3? I know once in a while
we see issues from those actions.
Cheers... Rick

Can we translate in captivate 7? I Have tried and changed the Caption and Notes. Can we change the on screen text of te normal slides, interactive call out boxes, screen recording slides and quizzes? If yes, please let me know the process.

Of course! Here ya go
For the record, I did create a new project with only two slides to try and duplicate the issue. I had the same problem. I unchecked the Mouse Click Sound check box, republished and the slide auto advanced. I'm wondering if a default sound file was somehow moved or deleted? I discussed uninstalling and reinstalling C7 onto my laptop, but that's a frustrating solution haha

How to change the mouse cursor icon type when mouse moves out of client area ( propertysheet) WTL?

I got stuck with an issue in property sheet .I want to load different cursor when the mouse position is within the client area and load another when moves out of the client area.
In the porpetysheet I added four page. In the first page when I click next I am loading cursor of IDC_WAIT type and loading IDC_ARROW when the mouse moves out of the client area.
In the page class I triggered the event for WM_MOUSEMOVE as follow:
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_MOUSEMOVE, OnMouseMove)
LRESULT OnMouseMove(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
if(TRUE == m_bIsNextBtnClicked)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
else
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return TRUE;
This event is getting triggered and absolutely had no issue with this. Similarly I tried adding `MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_MOUSELEAVE, OnMouseLeave)` this event making an assumption that this will get triggered if the mouse moves out of the client area, but
this event did not get triggered at all.If this is not the mouse event to be triggered for mouseleave which event should I trigger?
LRESULT OnMouseLeave(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return TRUE;
Now when I click Next button , **I was actually calling a function which is taking sometime to return** . Before to this function I am loading IDC_WAIT cursor i.e.,
`::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));` .
Now when move the mouse cursor on to the non-client area I want to load IDC_ARROW cursor i.e.,
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
When the moves on to the non-client area I am handling the mouse event in sheet derived class as follows,
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_NCMOUSEMOVE, OnNCMouseMove)
LRESULT OnNCMouseMove(UINT /*uMsg*/, WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/, BOOL& /*bHandled*/)
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW));
return 0;
This event is not getting triggered until unless the function in the Next button event is executed.
I want both of them to be done in parallel i.e, click Next button now hover mouse on the client area, Busy icon should come and when mouse moves out of the client area then IDC_ARROW icon should come.
LRESULT OnWizardNext()
::SetCursor(LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT));
m_bIsNextBtnIsClicked = TRUE;
BOOL bRet = MyFun();
m_bIsNextBtnIsClicked = FALSE;
//Until this function(MyFun()) is executed **WM_NCMOUSEMOVE**
//event is not getting triggered.But this event should get triggered and I
//should be able to see the change of cursor within and out of client area.
Can anyone kindly help me to solve this issue.

How to record mouse movements?

Hello,
I have the most updated version of Mac OS on my 2014 Macbook Air. Is there a program I can use to record my mouse strokes and clicks? I am doing a repetitive task and would like for the mouse to move on its own and make the same exact movements and clicks. Is this possible on automator and if so how? And if not, what free program is available which can achieve this?
Thanks for the input!

When Automator is started, it normally asks for the kind of document that you want to create. Select "work flow". Then near to the upper right corner of the automator window there will be a red button labeled "record". from that point on all the mouse movements and clicks will be stored in the workflow until you click on the stop recording button that shows on a special floating window that automator displays while your mouse actions are recorded.

Adobe pro 9 changes printers when mouse moves over printer window

When trying to print an adobe document, the default printer is ignored and the selected printer changes as the mouse moves across the printer window to reach the print button, making it difficult to stabilize the printer selection. Please advise

I have now checked other people in my departments Adobe versions.
I have Adobe Pro V9.0.0, and does not print correctly.
1 person has Adobe XI Pro and prints correctly.
1 person has Adobe Pro 9.5.5 and prints correctly.
1 person has Adobe Pro V9.0.0 and does not print correctly
I have now installed the available upgrades which only took me to 9.2.0 and still prints incorrectly.
I wil try and find the other updates and see if that helps.
thx.

How control can be customized so that it changes its picture when mouse moves over it

How control can be customized so that it changes its picture when mouse moves over it. As it happens in other develpment enviroments that one can customized the look 'n feel of any thing during the mouse movement over that very thing. Moreover can any body plz tell me that how one can modify the funtionality of a control by him self (not selecting the available functionalities of controls and indicators)

The attached LV 7.1 code uses an event configured to trigger on two controls when a "Mouse Enter" or a Mouse Leave" event occurs. Depending on the type key focus is either assigned or removed.
Please elaborate on the Q re: customizing a control.
Ben
PS Do NOT change the boolean to an indicator, save, run, change to control, save run again. That is bad.

Colors in parade do not change when I move the Temperature slider.

I am trying to do the speed grade tutorial, but the color does not change when I move the temperature slider.

It might be nice to know which "issue" of Sg you're using.There have been issues where the colors "lag" while using a slider/control, but typically when you let "up" on the control, the adjustment is "there". From your comment, am I correct in assuming that the controls simply don't do anything even after you've moved them? And of course ... when you "move" them, you do see the indicator on the slider-line move, right?

Slider moves on mouse movements

Hi,
I know how to make slider to move to one direction when mouse
in over center of the movie.But how can I make this: I move mouse
in one direction (it doesnt matter where it is) and the slider
moves to other. So, in a few words. Mouse moves in one direction,
the movie moves in other.Any tutorial?
THX

You might find code if you search Google, but the basics of zooming into a section of soomething like a map involves having the map inside a container that is centered in the viewport and scaling the container instead of the map for the zooming. That allows you to move the map around and zoom in while having the map in differrent sections. The container stays celetered since that is where it needs to be to have the zoom stay in the center.
As far as moving the map via moving the mouse to the edges, that can be accomplsihed either by having unseen objects with mouseover lsiteners at the edges that you use to trigger movement of the map, or you establish numeric boundaries that you constantly monitor to detrmine which way to move the map if at all. The mouseover approach is probably simpler to manage.

Mouse movement...way to change this?

Hi folks. Just bought a new macbook tonight and really digging it. One thing I don't like which I remember from my first iMac is the mouse movement. I'm wondering if there is anything anyone would recommend to fix the motion. I used to use USB Overdrive for my iMac but that doesn't support the macbook track pad so I wondered if there was anything similar that did. Thanks.!

Hai,
You can do one thing.
If you wan to deploy ur application.
Open a browser window--Deploy new archive and Run.
Dont close the browser, when you wan to deploy it agian,
simple righclick on project--create archive.
simple righclick on project--Deploy.
refersh the earlier browser.

Capture border, mouse movements and screen area showing incorrectly

I'm using Captivate4 on Win7 Pro 32bit to record a web demonstration on IE8. Setting the capture area only records a portion of the selected area, and portions outside (and including) the red boundary line. Mouse movements and clicks are also off. I've disabled hardware acceleration and tried a few different screen resolutions.
This occurs in every recording mode and in every capture arrangement - application, predefined, or custom size. Full screen recording captures the correct area, but the slides are very large and cursor actions are still off. The border disappears when Hide is checked, but the area captured is still completely different from the area selected.
I've included screenshots of both the capture area selected and the actual area recorded.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it - thanks in advance!
Area selected for recording:
Area captured during recording - cursor out of place, overlap on the left, missing area on right and bottom:

Change your computer screen resolution to match what you set in Captivate, and you will capture everything.
I had to change mine from 1920x1080 (on a 13" laptop) to 1280x720 which is the maximum in Captivate. As soon as I did that, the entire screen was captured as intended.

Different mouse clicks & speed up mouse movements?

Hello,
Does Adobe Captivate recognise different mouse clicks better
to say if it can record on RMB LMB and MMB clicks different
effects? For example I wish to record Software Simulation project
were on different mouse clicks (RMB, LMB, MMB) would have custom
effects like "OrangeRing" for RMB " "GreenRing" for LMB etc?
One more question plz: I found Published movie mouse
movements are very slow can I make it move more fast without
editing every slide separatelly?
Thanks
Ton

Hello Tony,
Whilst Captivate does recognize different mouse clicks (in so
much as the application will capture a right-click menu) you cannot
specify what type of mouse effect the application will use when you
capture.
What you can do is change the mouse click effect post
capture. To do this and with a just captured project open carry out
these steps:
1. Select the slide that has a mouse pointer where you would
like need to show a right-click action.
2. Choose Slide > Mouse > Properties...
3. In the Mouse Properties dialog make sure that the option
"show mouse click" is selected and then show either the color or
the custom effect you would like to use to represent the
right-click operation.
Naturally, at the very start of your movie/project you would
need to inform the learner that each time they see the one of the
effect you want them to right-click. You could also include some
audio as well which would be important if you need to adhere to
accessibility standards.
In regard to your second question, in most cases you will
find that you get the best result if you adjust the mouse timing
using the Timeline.
That said if you own a copy of Adobe Captivate 2 you can
change the mouse Display and Appear After settings globally via the
Mouse Properties dialog. Personally, for mouse movement I would not
recommend this. Anyway here are the steps to carry that out.
1. Select any slide that has a mouse pointer present.
2. Choose Slide > Mouse > Properties...
3. Click the Timing tab
4. Change the Display time and Appear After values
5. Click the Settings button
6. Choose the appropriate options from both Which properties
and which slide categories
7. Click OK.
Note : You can also show the Mouse properties dialog by left
clicking on mouse icon on any of the slides in the Filmstrip
Regards,
Mark

Master Slides image sitting on top of recorded slide image.

When I record slides the only image that appears on the slide are the mouse movements and the Master Slide image. It looks like the Master Slide image is "sitting on top" of the recorded image. The recorded images are listed in the Library as Backgrounds. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Look in the Properties tab > General accordion to see if Use Master Slide Background is selected.
