Mouse Pointer Flicker Problem!

This is the single most irritating problem behavior I have in CS5.
Very often after choosing a new tool, especially a new brush size/hardness from the palette, the mouse pointer begins to flicker. It fairly rapidly alternates between an arrow and brush. It flickers somewhat faster when moved, and doesn't stop flickering until drawing takes place (i.e. I touch the Intuos Stylus to the pad, or left-click the mouse)

Yes. Last update was 6.1.5 in March.

You are not alone as I experience the same type of problem in addition to my insertion point jumping around and the zoom keeps changing, I am unable to write a message. Since Toshiba doesn't have a new synaptics driver for win 10 as of yet and the win 8.1 driver does not work, how in the world can I post anything? How long Toshiba takes to fix this is how long I revert a back to win 8.1. At least it was more stable. I had win 7 pre which came with laptop and although it didn't have the latest in feature, it still was great. At least I do have the disks to reinstall win 7 if need be. I wonder who else has these problems as well.

Mouse over flicker problem

I'm fairly new to Flash and couldn't find the exact same problem in the forums so here goes.
Flash CS4, Actionscript 3.0
I have a button that I have a mouseover event making another button appear (thus making it look like a color change). It flickers like crazy with the mouse over. Any suggestions?
Here's the page (mind you nothing on it but this so far) http://www.forepointusa.com/flash/qbooks/keyfeatures.html
Here's the code: (IT is the button you see when you first look at the file.)
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
ITBlue.alpha = 0;
ITBlue.y = 130;
IT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showIT);
IT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,hideIT);
function showIT(e:MouseEvent):void {
ITBlue.y = 172.3;
ITBlue.alpha = 100;
function hideIT(e:MouseEvent):void {
ITBlue.alpha = 0;
ITBlue.y = 130;
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Is there a reason you don't use the one IT button and just use its Over frame to display it as blue?
Note: in AS3, alpha ranges from 0 to 1 (not 100).
To explain why you have what you have... I am assuming ITBlue is another button. When you put ITBlue in front of IT you essentially block IT from the mouse, so you ignite IT's rollout function, sending ITBlue back out of the way, which ignites IT's rollover function again, and the cycle goes on unending. If you hover just on the lower edge of IT, where ITBlue doesn't reach, you'll see it works as desired.
The simplest way around this is to use the one button approach, as there will be no code needed for the rollover and rollout for what you have it doing now.
An alternative would be to place ITBlue in its y = 172 position permanently, change IT to a plain graphic symbol, and use your current code assigned to ITBlue instead of IT, but again, it would be unecessary.
Just some added info... An object that has its alpha set to 0 is still fully mouse interactive... an object that has its visible property set to false is not.

When mouse pointer changes from arrow to cursor it starts to flicker

I am running Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop (P500-ST5807).
When the mouse pointer changes from arrow to cursor it starts to flicker. The problem seemed to start after I clicked "hide pointer while typing". I tried unchecking "hide pointer while typing" but this did not correct the problem. I have also tried adjusting the touchpad settings to less sensitive -- this did not help either. I have searched the internet and all types of "cursor flicker" seems to be a common problem.
Would anyone have a simple solution?
Thanks in advance for your help,
yeto

Mouse pointer Problem with CS3 and windows 7

Upgraded
to a new PC which has Windows 7(32bit) as an operating system. Installed my Photoshop CS3 and everything seems ok except when I magnify in the navagator panel. Once I zoom in my mouse pointer changes to 3 hands in the navigator panel. I powered up my old laptop which has Vista and my CS3
then matched up the mouse settings in the control panel on the new PC. Used the same usb mouse on both PC's, the older Vista laptop worked fine but the windows 7 PC would get a tripple pointer in the navigation panel when I magnified. In the windows 7 laptop I then set the compatibility for Photoshop CS3 to run in XP mode but the problem did not clear. I see in FAQ for CS4 people have complained about tripple cursers in windows 7 but the replies indicated that the recommended fix did not work. Any help apreciated.
Tom

Thanks for your solution. I by changing the setting to 125% I am now able to use CS3 without tripple pointers.
My eyesight is challenged so the decrease in text is a challenge but I can change the setting when I will use CS3 so I have a workarount.
Thanks,
Tom

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.

Hi,
Try this ... reboot your Mac and see if double clicking works again.
Also, you can just select the Application you like to open and hold down the Command+O to open.
Also, did you check your setting for the mouse in system preferences.

Has anyone had a problem with a stuck mouse pointer?

The mouse pointer on my System recently started behaving oddly. The pointer works fine while the iMac boots. Once the boot is fully completed, the pointer is effectively stuck at the bottom of the display (before I launch any application). It is kinda like it is on a rubber band. If I move it quickly, it moves across the whole screen and then gets reset to the bottom of the display. If I move it slowly, it moves half an inch or less on screen and gets yanked back. If I boot into Safe Mode, the mouse pointer works normally. If I boot normally, but log into a different account, everything works fine. But for my primary account, the mouse pointer is messed up. I have run Norton and it finds no viruses or malware. I have run MacScan and it finds no malware.

Something must have worked - just got an E-mail from MacAce saying they've seen the problem and are arranging a refund.

Just got a new macbook air and every time I close the cover and then reopen it later the mouse pointer freezes. I've just updated the operating system but no help Seems like it might be a software problem with mousepad. Its only 3 weeks new !

I purchased a Macbook Air on 01st October and from day 3 every time I close the cover and reopen it later the mouse pointer is frozen
I updated the operating system today but no change.
Any one else having this annoying problem. Seems like a software glitch to me.

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

Rsd? shut down and mouse pointer problems

hello there
So, last week I went to the Carrefour Laval apple store to go check out my macbook because it had shut down 3 times in a row for no reason. The genius checked everthing out, ran some tests, and said everything was a-okay, that I might have simply just xperienced a random, insignificant crash. But, yesterday my computer shut down again as I was surfing the internet. I waited about 1 minute and powered it up again. everything seemed fine. so, about 1 hour ago, im checking my emails, when i go up to the toolbar to select a different website, when my mouse pointer seems to start disappearing on and off constantly. so i close my internet window and this weird loud and quick clicking sound comes from my computer. I open up another safari window, and the sound stops. and this happens over and over again as i open and close safari windows. then 10 minutes later, i am watching a dvd when my computer shuts down again! what is going on? Im so tired of this. i would like to have some advice before i go see the genius again. the thing is i cant reproduce the problem for him, it just happens randomly....
please help me!

Hi there I am having the same problem. I've been experiencing it often over the past month. First thing you should do is download the latest updates and make sure the firmware is updated which you can get from apple.ca/support. If that doesn't work then take it into a certified repari center that is authorized by Mac. In Toronto I go to CPUsed, Carbon or MacLibrary for repairs. My macbook is still under warranty so I am going to take it in. I am also going to extend my warranty for three years. These intels are great but it is the first year so expect problems.
Cheers!

Mouse pointer problems in JRE 1.4.0

Does anyone else see a problem with JRE 1.4.0 when using the 3D style mouse pointers in Windows 98? If I use the default 3d mouse pointers that came with Windows, the menus and other areas of the java GUIs draw a square any time you click on something. If I set my mouse pointer to the Windows Standard I do not see this problem.

I am currently having this problem in plugin 1.3.1 which
is what we will be implementing. We have to update the
video drivers on a number of machines to correct the problem.
I tried the 1.4.0 and it seemed to clear up but we won't use this version until a full general release is available.
Another fix is to turn off the mouse shadow.
We are running windows 2000.

Is anyone experiencing screen flicker when entering a search or moving mouse pointer towards results on google search page?

I have a new medion laptop and have version 4 of firefox installed
and am noticing that when conducting a search from tool bar (google) my screen flickers after pressing the enter key or when I move my mouse pointer towards the google results.
I do not get the same problem when using either internet explorer or google chrome, suggesting that either firefox or one of its plug ins is to blame!
I carried out the same search for the word Apple all using the google search engine preference.
Interested to know if anyone can help

Excellent suggestion to disable Add-ons. The problem on my system was the "Optimize Google" add-on. I went to the add-on's home page and it's defunct, so we can't expect updates that will fix the problem. So I deleted it from my system and everything is rosy.

Mouse Pointer Problem, Win 8 Pro on Windpad 110

Today for some reason the built in mouse pointer, as well as when my finger touches the screen, the response is as if I'm clicking and dragging like when holding the left mouse button down on a standard mouse. It's rather annoying.
It's like the click-lock setting in the mouse settings is on and I can't shut it off

I'm pretty sure this is the result of downloading Windows 8 updates. I've tried to do several system restores to points prior Christmas which was when the problem wasn't present. The sys restore continues to fail after rebooting the machine stating my virus protection is conflicting w/ the process, and suggesting I should perhaps turn it off. To no avail I keep getting the error message. I keep trying older points to restore from in hope it'll finally fix this squeaky little mouse

As of today 7-19-2011, my mouse pointer has started to flicker & when I move it I see it when I'm not It disapears disappears, this just started a while ago, could it be a jave issue?

I finished posting on games forums, and went to a different page and as I stated in the Question section, my mouse pointer stated Flickering when I move it around and when I stop, it disappears. I restarted my PC thinking that would clear it up, as my daughter was playing a game on the PC for many hours today, and I even checked to see if the browser is up to date and it is, as per Help -> About Fire Fox. This have never happened before & I have been using Fire Fox for a long time, or if it is a plugin? Or if is a Java Issue.

Hello cor-el,
Thank you for the reply, and I did try searching first, when I did not find a solution, I post my question. I did read through the solutions and what to do, and I am using the default theme, so there was no need to disable that option. I did not even get to go through all the options to see what was causing the issue. As soon as I received a message in my e-mail that you replied, I came straight here and when I did, the issue of the Flickering mouse pointer seemed to correct it's self. It just stopped and has not happened again, since and that is why I waited to reply to you, to make sure that it had stopped.
I thank you again & greatly appreciate your assistance.
