How does one use the middle and right buttons in AIR without the cursor showing?

All I want to do is use all three botton clicks without the cursor showing (assistive technology situation). So I use Mouse.hide(). All works fine with the Left mouse button. With the middle and right buttons the cursor reappears as soon as the middle and right mouse is in the DOWN state (and stays visible until rehidden--see code). Are there Mouse parameters that could be added? (I can't find any such references.) Do I need to create a custom cursor Class that makes the cursor invisible at all times? Here is my simple AS 3 test code.
// MyClickListener.fla
// Using the Stage to listen for button events
// Why do the Middle and Right clicks reexpose the mouse cursor as soon as the DOWN state is encountered?
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
            Mouse.hide();
            var leftClick:int = 0;
            var middleClick:int = 0;
            var rightClick:int = 0;   
function leftClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            // Mouse.hide();   // I do not need this -- mouse cursor does not reappear
            trace(event.target.name);          
            trace("You pressed the Left Button.");
            leftClick ++;
            trace("Left Clicks = " + leftClick);
function middleClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            Mouse.hide(); //I use this to rehide the mouse that reappears after click.
            trace(event.target.name);
            trace("You pressed the Middle Button.");
            middleClick ++;
            trace("Middle Clicks = " + middleClick);
function rightClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            Mouse.hide();  // I use this to rehide the mouse that reappears after click.
            trace(event.target.name);
            trace("You pressed the Right Button.");
            rightClick ++;
            trace("Right Clicks = " + rightClick);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, leftClickHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MIDDLE_CLICK, middleClickHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK, rightClickHandler);
Help appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Dear Tuttle and Tom:
You both sent me to the appropriate place. I downloaded the instruction file (PDF). Many thanks.
Incidentally, I then downloaded the upgrade offered at the top of that page (from v3.2 to v3.2.4) but after ±90% of the necessary time needed, it shut down with a "Failed to Mount" message (whatever that might mean). It took more than 28 minutes to download that much even though I'm using DSL! Have either of you upgraded to v3.2.4 with or without difficulty?
Thanks again for your right-on assistance.

  • How does one use menu1, menu2 and menu3 simultaneously?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to display/change dynamically the menu2 and menu3 item values depending on the user's menu1 selection? Or perhaps any other dynamic combination of the above?
    Alternatively imagine something like the multrow menus of MSWord.
    The main target of the customer is to save as much screen space as possible for displaying table/form data.
    Any helping hand available?
    TIA!

    Yes, this is possible, actually, it is already used in JHeadstart. You will only see menu 2 at pages with detail groups.
    Menu1 and menu2 are added to each page using the menu1 and menu2 facets. The menu selection is also determined by the page: it passes the selectedTab as a parameter to the ADF Faces region that displays the menu. So, by modiftying the templates that render the menu: pageMenu.vm, menu1.vm and menu2.vm, you can determine which menus get displayed on which page.

  • How does one use an external microphone with the internal camera?

    I want to use the internal camera because I don't have anything better but I want to use an external mic to record video and sound simultaneously, for a video blog. How does one accomplish this? I'm getting no help from the manual.

    Try this. Connect your external mic, either through the audio line in port or, into a USB port if it is a USB mic and then go to System Preferences under the Apple and select the Sound icon under Hardware. Click on your mic shown in the list of input devices.
    Hope that works for you.

  • How does one use Sound sticks while using HDMI at the same time ??

    How does one use Soundsticks while using HDMI at the same time ??

    Hi Caleb,
    This isn't a precise answer but a possible workable solution. SoundSource puts a menu extra which allows you to switch input/output and has an option for Auto-Switch to Headphones. The auto-switch feature doesn't work with USB headphones but I believe it will with 'regular' headphone plugs such as you use.

  • How does one use 'drop zones' in DVD menus?

    Hi
    I have Premiere Elements 4.0. How does one use 'drop zones' in DVD menus?
    Thanks
    NBK

    There are a number of ways, but the easiest is to swap in your video the way you swap in a DVD background -- i.e., select a menu with a drop zone and, in the DVD menus area, click on the background of the menu in the Disc Layout monitor. This will open up a screen that will allow you to browse to the video or still you want.
    Once it's in place, hold down the Shift key and, grabbing a corner handle on the Disc Layout monitor, size the image and drag it to position it in the drop zone.

  • How to get the submit and Reset buttons on bottom of the page?

    while viewing a parametric form in the web browser i get SUBMIT
    and RESET buttons on the top of the form which doesnt look good.
    I tried pasting the whole html available by default in the
    Before Form Value(where the submit and reset buttons are
    defined) in the After Form Value property of the report property
    pallette. Though the layout appears as i wanted but its not
    passing the parameters values to the query but generates an
    error " REP-0788 Warning : The value of restricted LOV parameter
    BV_FROM_DATE is not among the selected values.". What can be the
    solution to this problem? Your Help is much appreciated. And
    also the report generated in the Runtime Previewer shows all the
    colors of the fields but its not shown on the web browser where
    can i define them...Your Help!!!!Thank you very much in
    advance..

    when you select 'list of values for the parameters' there is a choice box that says 'restrict list to Predetermined values'. Don't select it. This will solve your first problem.
    Second:When you run the report on the web you must choose ' desformat=htmlcss' then you can display the report as in the preview window. But still you can't see the same view in the web browser on report builder. It is still not good. As I sad before you can see the right view when publishing on the web.

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • How does one use punch in with v 5.5?

    Hello,  just downloaded the trial in hopes the punch in functions were straightened out (my terminology)
    vs. version 3.
    So far I haven't found a way to use this (non) feature.  I can punch in but then what does one do to
    select and merge the best take?
    Once I click on the main clip in the track the punched clip goes to the background (i guess)
    Also, in previous versions I would record multiple takes and only the last (top) version would play.
    In 5.5 they all play - whether they are visible or not.
    I've searched through help and the forum for information about this and haven't found anything.
    I know I can't find things in the refrigerator either but that's beside the point.
    From what I gather it will be a while until there is an update to this version so unless someone
    can tell me how punch in and take selection is supposed to work I won't be able to upgrade.
    Assistance in this matter will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Durin,
    What do you mean:
    "The options to only play the topmost clip or to select which clip is played is a separate item, but also shuffling up the list."
    I also only want (like Floyd) to hear the "on top" sound from "punching in" as in V3. The marketing material for V5.5 mentions :
    Quick punch
    Quickly fix recording errors  by punching in corrections on-the-fly as you rerecord: Toggle the record  button to punch in your new take only where you want it to replace the  old one. Punch in and out as many times as you want.
    Currently nothing is replaced, only stacked on top. Freaky when you first hear the take.
    When you say "end up", should I wait for V6?
    Thank you for your time.
    -Ed

  • Lately when I try to right click it opens a new tab with recent searchs.I have to go back to the tab and right click again to get the options. How do i fix it?

    When I try to right click now instead of getting the menu it goes into a new tab showing recent searches.I have to go back and right click again to get the menu and do what I wanted in the first place.Is there a way to fix this.This is really irritating.I like firefox but I'm ready to go back to Chrome. Thanks for any help.

    You're right-clicking a link? I can't think of any setting that opens a blank tab when you right-click in a page. It's also strange that it would occur on the first click but not on the second click.
    Does this affect all sites?
    Are you expecting Firefox's context menu or the site's context menu?
    One thing that comes to mind is overriding the site's own right-click handler by disabling scripts from capturing the right click. This is set under
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
    To the right of "Enable JavaScript" is a button to access "Advanced" options. If it's checked, uncheck the box for "Disable or replace context menus".

  • What is the point of tags, and how does one use them?

    I am completely mystified by tags. This is a new feature that is supposed to be wonderful and helpful, and some people have hailed them as a major improvement. However, I can't see what they are good for.
    If you put a tag on a file, it is added to the beginning of the filename in Finder, thus shortening the portion that is visible, which potentially makes it harder to identify the file. If you are thinking of telling me to abandon icon view in the Finder, forget it.
    Tags have to be added manually. How does that work if you have more than 24 files? I have about 3,000.
    It seems that you'd have to come up iwth a categorization scheme for alll the files on your disk. Ccmbine that with tagging them manually, won't that take a huge amount of t ime?
    What added benefit do tags give the user?
    We used to be able to add metadata to files with CMD+I. Now we can only add tags. Is this progress or regress and why?
    Incidentally, I am over 12 years of age.

    Thanks for the explanations. What this means in my situation is that tags are an unnecessary way of spending a lot of time making my file system more complicated, without adding any value whatsoever. Without tags, I can find any of my 3,000 files with a few clicks. (On my computer, Spotlight has cobwebs. I very rarely need it, but it's wonderful when I do.) Now that I know how tags work, I can ignore it.
    A human being can only perceive a quantity of seven without counting or grouping; hence we arrange things in structures to keep the number of entitites low on each level. You don't need to count three objects to know that they are all there, but you do need to count twelve objects. Which is why Home Alone was believable. We sort screws and nails in jars and toolboxes have compartments. Even the grocery store has a hierarchical arrangement. You don't find steaks in the bakery section, or breakfast cereal in the produce department.
    Some people aren't organized, and that's not a bad thing, but no folder, no tag, and no group is going to change a fundamental personality characteristic.
    Thanks everyone for showing me that in my case, there's no point to tags. That saves me a lot of time.
