I can't hear a mouse click

Hey,
On a slide, after you insert the mouse, isn't there something I should do to hear the mouse click. I've already got all of the buttons checked under the mouse properties(show mouse click and mouse click sound). Now, shouldn't I simply hear a click at the end of the mouse object? Is there some kind of global setting I am missing?
What gives?
Thanks.
Jeff

Hi there
Mouse click sounds exist as an audio file and are not recorded. While I'm not one of the Captivate Development team, it is my understanding that all that is recorded are the starting and ending points as well as the pointer in use.
Of course Mouse object provides click sounds. The evidence is in the dialog.
A bit of a mystery as to why you may not be hearing them. Any chance of sharing your project so one of us may see first hand?
Cheers... Rick

Can't turn off Mouse Click

I am trying to turn off the mouse click sound. I am following
the manual which says to remove the checkmark from the box next to
the Mouse click sound. After I do that, I then save the project
(which is still unpublished). I then preview that slide, and I
still hear the mouse click sound. I did this to several slides, all
had the same results. I am a new user of Captivate 3, am I doing
something wrong?

Welcome to our community, Linda
Hop over to fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst's
site at the link below. You need to download a silent mouse click
sound file and replace yours with Paul's. Then you will be free of
mouse clicks!

While you are there, please consider tossing some change into
his tip jar for his efforts!
Oh, and one other thing. Don't let the fact he's organized
this widget into the Captivate 1 category fool you. It should work
with all Captivate versions.

How can I (neatly) control mouse click events in a multi-dimensional array?

Hello everyone!
     I have a question regarding the use of mouse clicks events in a multi-dimensional array (or a "2D" array as we refer to them in Java and C++).
Background
     I have an array of objects each with a corresponding mouse click event. Each object is stored at a location ranging from [0][0] to [5][8] (hence a 9 x 6 grid) and has the specific column and row number associated with it as well (i.e. tile [2][4] has a row number of 2 and a column number of 4, even though it is on the third row, fifth column). Upon each mouse click, the tile that is selected is stored in a temporary array. The array is cleared if a tile is clicked that does not share a column or row value equal to, minus or plus 1 with the currently targeted tile (i.e. clicking tile [1][1] will clear the array if there aren't any tiles stored that have the row/column number
[0][0], [0][1], [0][2],
[1][0], [1][1], [1][2],
[2][0], [2][1], [2][2]
or any contiguous column/row with another tile stored in the array, meaning that the newly clicked tile only needs to be sharing a border with one of the tiles in the temp array but not necessarily with the last tile stored).
Question
     What is a clean, tidy way of programming this in AS3? Here are a couple portions of my code (although the mouse click event isn't finished/working correctly):
public function tileClick(e:MouseEvent):void
   var tile:Object = e.currentTarget;
   tileSelect.push(uint(tile.currentFrameLabel));
   selectArr.push(tile);
   if (tile.select.visible == false)
    tile.select.visible = true;
   else
    tile.select.visible = false;
   for (var i:uint = 0; i < selectArr.length; i++)
    if ((tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN - 1) ||
     (tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN) ||
     (tile.rowN == selectArr[i].rowN + 1))
     if ((tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN - 1) ||
     (tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN) ||
     (tile.colN == selectArr[i].colN + 1))
      trace("jackpot!" + i);
    else
     for (var ii:uint = 0; ii < 1; ii++)
      for (var iii:uint = 0; iii < selectArr.length; iii++)
       selectArr[iii].select.visible = false;
      selectArr = [];
      trace("Err!");

Andrei1,
     So are you saying that if I, rather than assigning a uint to the column and row number for each tile, just assigned a string to each one in the form "#_#" then I could actually just assign the "adjacent" array directly to it instead of using a generic object to hold those values? In this case, my click event would simply check the indexes, one at a time, of all tiles currently stored in my "selectArr" array against the column/row string in the currently selected tile. Am I correct so far? If I am then let's say that "selectArr" is currently holding five tile coordinates (the user has clicked on five adjacent tiles thus far) and a sixth one is being evaluated now:
Current "selectArr" values:
       1_0
       1_1, 2_1, 3_1
              2_2
New tile clicked:
       1_0
       1_1, 2_1, 3_1
              2_2
              2_3
Coordinate search:
       1_-1
0_0, 1_0, 2_0, 3_0
0_1, 1_1, 2_1, 3_1, 4_1
       1_2, 2_2, 3_2
              2_3
     Essentially what is happening here is that the new tile is checking all four coordinates/indexes belonging to each of the five tiles stored in the "selectArr" array as it tries to find a match for one of its own (which it does for the tile at coordinate 2_2). Thus the new tile at coordinate 2_3 would be marked as valid and added to the "selectArr" array as we wait for the next tile to be clicked and validated. Is this correct?

Can't hear menu effect (click sounds) through Optical cable

After connecting my Apple TV to my receiver through Optical I've noticed that I can no longer hear the Apple TV's menu sounds (click sounds) anymore unless I scroll through a menu real fast.
Is there anyway to fix this?

As far as I can tell, the M-Audio Keystation 61es does not have any form of on board sound generation. So whatever you heard in Garageband was synthesized by GB. In the same way you'll have to set up a virtual instrument in Logic to generate the sound.
Apart from that, it sounds like you are not really aware of the difference between Midi controller data and audio data, or at least the way they are routed. The midi controller has no way to send audio to logic through a midi connection. If it had on-board sounds, you'd have to route the audio explicitly to logic using an audio interface or in rare cases using audio over the USB connection that also does midi. In any case, you'd have to route the sound manually. The external instrument plugin in logic allows you to do that easily. But again, I don't think that applies to your situation.
Cheers,
Jazz

After I use Siri the volume on my keyboard is all the way up and I can't hear the keyboard clicks even though keyboard clicks is on why does this happen after I use siri

I need answers people please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds to me like your keyboard has been damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced. Can you try an external keyboard?

Can't hear first click of metronome.

When I press record and get my count in which is 1 bar, I can't hear the first click. I can see it visually on the master track but it is not audible. I'm accustomed to hearing 4 counts as opposed to 3. I think I pressed a button by mistake because it has only been this way recently. Thanks in advance for any advice.

The issue fixed itself after a few tries. Thanks anyway

Mouse clicks won't work on the browser - any suggestions?

Following an upgrade of Firefox last year, I can't get the mouse clicks to work on the browser. Doesn't matter whether it's left or right buttons. The radio buttons and links get highlighted when you hover the mouse over the links or the buttons but they won't work when clicked. They work on other browsers (Explorer and Chrome) but no longer on Firefox. I'm using it on a Sony Vaio laptop running Windows 7

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

NSView subclass and mouse clicks

I wrote a relatively simple program. It's got a single visual component on the window, an NSView subclass with drawing delegated out to another class called Arrow. Anyway, it uses a timer to trigger calls to drawRect which in turn "animates" a layer. I have a 100x100 layer and a velocity & position which get updated each time through depending on how much "real" time has passed. As the layer bounces around the screen, the animation seems smooth and everything looks good. If I start clicking in the window, however, things get wonky. The animation stutters (probably expected) and the position sometimes gets set back to the origin (0,0, bottom left corner of screen). I wonder if there's something I can do to stop mouse clicks from affecting the view, I have no set up anything to use the mouse clicks AT ALL so I don't really know how they can affect anything in the code I wrote. If this isn't enough info to answer the question, I'll post the xcode project.

The end result is going to be a very simple 2d game with maybe 8-10 things on the screen moving around at any one time. My next step is to try out openGL but using these CALayers seemed a lot simpler. However, since you say any event will block, I expect that will happen to opengl as well. I'll dig some more in the examples. It seems I followed the pattern from the crash landing demo (although I'm doing it on the mac itself, not iphone/simulator) to set up the rendering.
When you suggest using core animation, are you talking about just telling it the start/end position and the speed, and letting it handle everything in between? I don't think that will work for my case because eventually I will have to handle mouse/keyboard events to alter the movement in real-time. Am I missing something?
Thanks again for your help.

Multiple JButtons inside JTable cell - Dispatch mouse clicks

Hi.
I know this subject has already some discussions on the forum, but I can't seem to find anything that solves my problem.
In my application, every JTable cell is a JPanel, that using a GridLayout, places vertically several JPanel's witch using an Overlay layout contains a JLabel and a JButton.
As you can see, its a fairly complex cell...
Unfortunately, because I use several JButtons in several locations inside a JTable cell, sometimes I can't get the mouse clicks to make through.
This is my Table custom renderer:
public class TimeTableRenderer implements TableCellRenderer {
     Border unselectedBorder = null;
     Border selectedBorder = null;
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,
               boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
          if (value instanceof BlocoGrid) {
               if (isSelected) {
                    if (selectedBorder == null)
                         selectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2, table.getSelectionBackground());
                    ((BlocoGrid) value).setBorder(selectedBorder);
               } else {
                    if (unselectedBorder == null)
                         unselectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2, table.getBackground());
                    ((BlocoGrid) value).setBorder(unselectedBorder);
          return (Component) value;
}and this is my custom editor (so clicks can get passed on):
public class TimeTableEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
     private TimeTableRenderer render = null;
     public TimeTableEditor() {
          render = new TimeTableRenderer();
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
            boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
         if (value instanceof BlocoGrid) {
              if (((BlocoGrid) value).barras.size() > 0) {
                   return render.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, true, row, column);
         return null;
    public Object getCellEditorValue() {
        return null;
}As you can see, both the renderer and editor return the same component that cames from the JTable model (all table values (components) only get instantiated once, so the same component is passed on to the renderer and editor).
Is this the most correct way to get clicks to the cell component?
Please check the screenshot below to see how the JButtons get placed inside the cell:

If you need more info, please say so.
Thanks.

My mistake... It worked fine. The cell span code was malfunctioning. Thanks anyway.

How to show mouse clicks when recording screen with quicktime?

How can i show the mouse click when i record the screen using quicktime player?

Why? What program feature do you intend to offer, by knowing what a user clicks on (besides the application itself).Hi, well what I have to do is to start the application minimized in the system tray. Then the application must be listening for crtl+shift+left click in any part of the desktop or an opened application, when that happens, I have to show a window asking if the user want to take a screenshot starting in the x,y point he clicked, once done, I have to take an screenshot...so on.
How can I do that? Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks in advance.

OS randomly sees my mouse click, doesn't do anything

I've had a problem for the past few months that's been driving me crazy. Often, but inconsistenly, I will click on something and nothing happens. More often than not I will be in Mail.app and will click to reply to an email. I hear my mouse click, the click target turns dark to acknowledge my click, and then... nothing. If I click on another email, it will come up fine. If I click back on the original email and click on Reply it will dutifully pop out the email for me to type my response. The same thing will sometimes happen in Safari. If I have multiple tabs open, sometimes I will click on the close tab button, but it does nothing. If I click on another tab, then click back to my original tab and then click the close tab button the tab closes like it should have originally. Yesterday it got just absurd. With the Apple.com site up I could click on any link and nothing would happen. Like with mail, the color of the button on the page would darken to indicate that I clicked, but it wouldn't go there. If I right-clicked and chose Open In New Tab it worked fine. Other webpages in other tabs worked fine. If I closed that tab and reopened the site, it was still broken. Only after a wipe and restore did the site start working again.
Then, as if almost just to mess with me, in Terminal it will frequently register a click as a double-click. I know it's a single click, I hear only one click of the mouse. I'm having to constantly close the inspector window that pops up when it sees my "double-click" that is a single click. It will randomly happen in other places as well.
Being a problem without an error code or message or easy way to describe, I haven't had any luck in any searches for people reporting the same problem.
I'm using a Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3. The problem has been around after multiple OS updates didn't seem to appear after any particular change made to the computer.
I've been a 'computer guy' for a long time, used most mainstream OSes since Windows for Workgroups, so I know my way around. I've been using a Mac as my main computer for 7-8 years now. I've already done a complete wipe and restore of the computer (using Time Machine). I have an investment of time in the apps and data on my computer (my work computer to boot) so I am loathe to do a nuke-and-pave solution of resintalling everything from scratch instead of from a backup. My hope is that there is someone else out there who had this problem and figured it out that might save me that trouble (and save my sanity). These kinds of intermittent, nonsense issues are the worst.
Thanks to anyone who reads this and helps.

Sorry it took so long macjack. I ran down to a Best Buy and grabbed a cheap-o wired mouse. Unfortunately I had gotten so used to the large size of my usual mouse that I found it's small size almost unusable. Last night I got another, better mouse. At first, everything seemed fine. This morning I was replying to an email and I clicked on the Reply All button and nothing happened. Same thing as before, the button darkens on click, like the OS is seeing my mouse click, but nothing happens.
So far though, since switching to the new mouse I have not had an instance of the double-clicks that should be single-clicks and vice-versa. I'll give it a couple of more days before I declare that problem squared away. Perhaps I was having an OS issue as well as a mouse issue.
I'm trying to decide if I should try another user account first, or safe-mode. Being this is my work computer, both are going to be difficult to try without impacting productivity.

Ignoring mouse clicks

Is there a way in Java to ignore a mouse click? Because when you turn the mouse pointer into a hourglass, you are still able to click where ever you want. How can I disable the mouse clicking?
Thx

Apologies - my explanation was a bit terse.
You need to communicate with the EventProcessor so that it knows what state your application is in. You will only have one EventProcessor in your application so you can so this via a static context, so it might look something like:
public class EventProcessor extends EventQueue
static boolean wait_;
public EventProcessor()
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue().push(this);
static void setWait(boolean w)
    wait_ = w;
protected void dispatchEvent(AWTEvent e)
      int id = e.getID();
      if(wait_ && (id == MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED) ||
                  (id == MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED) ||
                  (id == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) ||
                  (id == KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED)) // or check if its an InputEvent class
        // do nothing
      else
        super.dispatchEvent(e);
}and in your code somewhere you would have
setHourGlass(true);
EventProcessor.setWait(true);I use this technique for doing my own dialog modality - I got fed up with not being able to move the parent window in Windoze systems when a modal dialog is showing...

Right mouse click on trackpad: DL HERE

some clever dude (john the geek) over at osx86 has taken the .kext, the .prefPane and some other geeky stuff and put it all into an installer, so everyone can enjoy the right mouse click on the trackpad!
http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=2834
keep it real! use at your own risk...although it works perfect for moi.

it's pretty much a convention not to put a link directly to the installer (the .bin, the .dmg file) when you post on any forum. the reason is so anyone who clicks the link has the chance to decide whether the file is safe or not, or whether she/he wants to download it or not

I can't hear a mouse click
