Distinguish left and right mouse click

I am making some demo, I don't use any narration. How do I
tell the viewer when to use left mouse click and when to use right
mouse click? Can it be done automatically?

Hello Simon,
Hmmm, I don't think that there is anything in Captivate that
will automatically let the leaner know that you are
right-clicking...Here are some of the things that I might try.
1. Adding a text caption that notifies the learner that I am
right-clicking
2. At the very start of the demonstration point out to
learners that when they hear a certain sound this is an indication
that I am right-clicking.
3. Create a small animation that shows pressing the right
mouse button
4. Use one of the existing animations that you can find in
the Adobe Captivate 2 gallery such as visual clicks and again point
out at the beginning of the demo that when they see this animation
you are performing a right-click action, you could also record or
import audio onto your animation if you so desired.
Those are my (of the top of my head) thoughts . I am sure
that there are others.
Regards,
Mark

  • Left and right mouse coding for games

    Hi
    Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find actionscript 2/3 coding for left and right mouse clicks for gaming. I am a student and want to design a game that will use both left and right mouse clicks on a object that will give different results depending on which mouse click you had made.
    For example on a red object you click right, on a blue object you click left. Depending on how you clicked on a object will determine the next step in the code.
    Does this make sense?
    Cheers
    Beth

    I believe there is no method provided for isolating right clicks with a mouse in Flash.  The right click is reserved for pulling up a menu and there are no properties associated with it in the code.

  • Identify left and right mouse button clicks?

    I am wondering how is it possible to identify left mouse button click and right mouse button click using Java rather than just identify a mouse click.
    Kumar

    I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but you can use MouseEvent's getButton() function.
    For example
    class MyListener implements MouseListener
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
            int btn = e.getButton();
            //btn = 1 (left button), btn=2 (right button) for 2 button mouse and so on...
    }

  • Running bootcamp and right mouse click on windows

    Hi all, I was just looking to setup WinXP on my machine and wanted to know how my macbook pro laptop mouse would deal with the right mouse click on windows? If I dont have an external mouse plugged into the laptop is there no right mouse click available?
    Thanks!

    Download a program called AppleMouse at http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/App le-Mouse-Utility.shtml. Unzip it the copy-and-paste "applemou.exe" to this directory through Windows Explorer: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Once copied, restart your computer back into Windows and login. You'll be able to right-click by holding down the control (ctrl) button and clicking.

  • Time line control with left and right arrow click

    I'm putting together a Flash presentation using MX 2004 on a
    mac.
    A few years ago I worked on a Flash presentation that allowed
    me to either right arrow click to progress to the next Anchor tag
    and left arrow click to go back to the previous Anchor tag. I can't
    remember how I went about it as I mainly use Flash for just simple
    animations.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Chris

    You might want to post in the MacBook forums as this seems to be a hardware issue and those gurus hang out there. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248

  • How to group Left and Right audio tracks from a .OMF file?

    Hi, i'm editing the sound of my short film, i've sent a .OMF to audition from premiere, but the left and right tracks are seperate tracks in the multitrack session, how would i group them so whatever i do to one channel, will be done to the other

    This is because the OMF specification requires mono audio files
    It really depends on what you are trying to do with the two tracks as to the best answer as far as 'grouping'
    You could select all the clips on both tracks and right mouse click and select 'group'
    You could send both tracks to a bus
    You could export the two tracks to a stereo file and bring that back into the session
    Lots more things I'm sure but a little more detail as to what you are trying to do would help

  • Trackpad won't move curser mouse does. Left and right click working fine

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem. Out of nowhere my trackpad won't move the curser anymore. Connecting a USB mouse does. Left and right click are still working fine. Any ideas of how to fix it?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hey there DaveDaMac,
    It sounds like your built in track pad is not responding at all, but your USB mouse works without issue. I recommend the troubleshooting in this article for you named:
    Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248
    Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
    If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
    If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
    If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Left and right side of screen does not register mouse clicks.

    The left and right side of my screen (when maximized) does not register a mouse click. I would estimate about 10 to 15 pixels in (top to bottom) before a button will register a click.
    If I work with in firefox not maximized everything works fine. As it stands I have had to add buttons to the left and right side of my Firefox navigation area to utilize the back and home button. I am also not able to use my scroll bar do to this situation with out connecting an external mouse.
    Operating system: Windows 7 Professional (64bit)
    Resolution 1280x800
    Computer: HP TouchSmart tm2 (1070us series)
    This laptop does have the touchpad type mouse, I do not think this is the problem though as it will work if firefox is not maximized.
    Assistance with this would be appreciated. I Love firefox but this is to much of an annoyance to deal with continually.

    Not sure if its ever overheated... I've never left it in a hot car if thats what you mean. Sometimes it gets very hot if I'm using EDGE for a while. I don't push hard which is why I don't think I caused it...
    I will bring it in this weekend and see what they say.
    I also think that the speakerphone sounds fuzzy and muffled a lot more than it did when I first bought it. So just another reason to bring it in.

  • Touchpad left and right clicks don't work on Yoga 2 pro

    Hi,
    I just bought a a yoga 2 pro. After setting up, I found that the two bottom keys, left and right keys on the trackpad do not work. Double tap also doesn't work. I reinstall the touchpad driver to no avail. Other gestures on the touchpad work fine, single tap registers as left click, two finger scroll also works. Also, when I use a blue tooth mouse, left and right key works fine.
    I am not sure if this is a hardware problem as when I swipe on the area of the two bottom keys, they register the movement. Just not click. Anyone can help me?

    Hello,
    I've had a Yoga2 Pro now for six months or so.  Just recently the left click stopped working correctly.  What I notice is that when holding down the left click button on the touch pad, and I try to drag a slider (like a volume slider or to drag a selection box or to drag a scroll box on a page, or to highlight text) and it stops holding down the click.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it keeps stopping.  
    Now, the right click is malfunctioning as well.  I press right click on something like an image, and nothing happens.  I have to right click on something 2-10 times now for it to register that I'm right clicking.
    Also, should I be able to tap the touchpad with two fingers and have that be a right click, or am I just reading that I should be able to do that on the screen (which  can)?
    I have downloaded the drivers for the y2p touchpad and the y2-13 and the generic ones from the synaptics webpage, but before I uninstall my drivers and try to install those, I want to be sure that is the correct and only possible fix.  I'm hoping its not a hardware malfunction.  I am running Win 8.1.
    Thank you.

  • 2011 17" MBP TrackPad Left and Right Click Intermittent in Win7/64

    A few weeks ago I installed Win7 Pro 64 via Bootcamp in a new 2011 MBP 17 (2.3gig).   Since day one the trackpad left and right click buttons have been intermittent in Windows only. 
    For example, while surfing the web some clicks work, others don't, often have to repeat clicks to get it to work, then next time it will work the first time. This is not just a Safari problem, it happens in every program including the Finder. 
    I think it is a driver issue and Apple needs to get on the ball and fix the problem and send out an update (yes I have the latest version).
    I saw where a guy had written drivers to address the problems with the low quality Apple drivers.  His is called TrackPad+++ but it is bloated and I'd rather not install it nor should have to.
    Anyone else having this problem or found a good solution?   BTW an external USB mouse works great.

    After a little bit of looking around i found my answer! Use the BootCamp Control Panel that you can call up by clicking on the boot camp icon in the notifications panel. There one can enable tap to click, dragging, and right click.

  • Left and right click at the same time?

    Is there a way to get the magic mouse to do left and right click at the same time? Useful for well.. gaming.

    Check out the free Magicprefs software. You can then assign different functions to different clicks. swipes, taps, etc. There is an option for a two finger click and one of those options is "hold both right & left". It's free so you have noting to lose.

  • Left click acting like both left and right click

    Left Click button is acting like both left and right click button HP 2000 Notebook PC

    Could you try to use another mouse? If the other mouse works perfect, then your mouse pad must be damaged and you should look to get it fixed or just use a mouse instead. If not, then the settings on how the clicks act must have been altered. 
    Try to find a mouse to try first before looking at the settings for your mouse pad. You could maybe borrow one if anyone else has a computer with a mouse in your home.
    While you do that, I'll work on searching if this is common and if their is a solution if it's the software.
    I'm a programmer and a computer expert in training.

  • Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back."  How in PP 2010 for mac????

    I do presentations in PP10.  I am new to macair, and used to Windows.  HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"?  I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back.  The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box.  I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC.  How do I do it with the Mac????

    Hi Rod,
    As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
    Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
    If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
    Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
    I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
    Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.

    Yeah, I remember someone posted that solution a long time
    ago. It seems if you load a file with the same name the cache
    doesn't
    know any better and adjusts the download size to the smaller
    one. Maybe it's a good way to do it! Could it be a way to remove an
    mp3 from someone's cache after it plays? hmmmm Will have to
    do more testing.
