REcording a Mouse Over Action

In our software program, at the start of the program, you
have to move your mouse over a tab on the main menu first, then a
submenu drops down to make a selection. I have recorded this
procedure and created a set of Demonstration, Assessment, and
Training files. The Demonstration works fine. The assessment and
training files do not stop at the point of the mouse over. They
keep going to the next slide, past the point of the required mouse
over action, then waits for the user to make a mouse click on the
displayed submenu. That is too late. This does not simulate the
action of the user moving the mouse over the tab and the menu
dropping down as the result of the mouse over. What do I have to do
here? Thanks.

Please direct any replies to where the question was first
asked. You may do so by

Design Studio - disable tooltips on mouse over

Hello everybody,
i have a pie chart an want to disable the tooltips on mouse over action. Is this possible?
Here is a screen shot:
Seems that uncheck the "DisplayTooltips" Property is not the right one.
Thanks
Robert

Hi Robert,
It is possible to disable the tooltips with some custom css code placed inside your custom css file:
To disable tooltips for all charts (note/caution: this could/would remove tooltips from other components too if they have tooltips and use the same id for some reason):
#v-m-tooltip {display: none;}
To disable tooltips only for some charts you can create a custom css class and assign it to your charts where you don't want those tooltips for the on mouse over event. In the following example the name of the custom css class is "ourChartClass1":
.ourChartClass1 #v-m-tooltip {display: none;}

Mouse over button actions for newbie

Im a Newbie. Im creating buttons that when you mouse over show an image. Id like the images to remain up when the cursor leaves the button until the cursor mouses over another button, see http://www.rawnarch.com/featured_williams_college.html
any advice on how to do this simply

The simplest fix is to change the DOCTYPE.
You're using a XHTML Transitional DOCTYPE.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
If you replace it with a HTML5 DOCTYPE
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
you'll eliminate most of those "errors".

Special cursor in mouse over area

I am currently creating an application training for a rather
advanced piece of software. This software uses several different
cursors to indicate different actions in certain areas: for
instance a hand, a triangle and two arrows.
My question: is it possible in Captivate 1 to simulate this?
So can I specify a specific cursor for a certain (mouse over) area?
And if not, what would be the best way to work around this?
Thanks!

Hi Dutk,
FYI (for your information) "HTH" isn't my name - Larry
Walther is my name, and "CatBandit" is my screen name. "HTH" is
simply shorthand for "hope this helps". No big deal, but didn't
want you addressing me as HTH for the next five years.
Sorry, but the mouse cursor cannot be changed mid-slide. That
is, there cannot be two mouse cursors (the same image or different)
on the same slide time-line. If you want to display changing
cursors, you will have to either go to full-motion recording, or
split the action into multiple slides, then change the cursor at
the change of slide.
Sorry I can't help more with that.

Mouse over - how to select text

Hi all,
I trying to build a function that when the mouse is moved over a text, then that text is selected and some actions are performed. At the moment I am using the g.drawstring() to place the text inside a jPanel, remember the XY coordinate of that text and then, when the mouseMoved event is trigger I compare the mouse position with the original drawing coordinate. It works fine if the string is single character, but it gets very complicated when the string is made up of several words "Hello Java" and I would like to select only the "Hello" or the "Java", as I don't know in advance the XY coordinate of the second word, as the font is not proportional (what I am doing now, is search for the " " and set boundaries of each individual word within the string...a bit cumbersome, but kind of works
My Question is:
is there a better way to place the string on the panel, other than the g.drawstring() that can make reading and identifying much easier? perhaps, placing the string inside some kind of other component which the mouse that 'identify' to be over more easily?
thanks for the help
P.S. I have read some posts, which address specific questions; mine is more a question on best architecture/availability of Java.components/API that can be used to do my task in the best way.

thanks for your reply.
I am basically trying to draw a node and edge pattern, where the nodes are the text strings and the edges are simple lines. posX and posY are the coordinate of where to strings are drawn. Now, what I would like to do is to move the mouse over and highlight (for exampl) the string but only single words, not the whole string (which could be, for exampl, "Hello Java"), so highilighting either Hello or Java, depending on where the mouse is. But I need to place the string (or the JLabel or JText) at specific posX, posY coordinates inside my JPanel.
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
/** SOME CODE*/
Font font = new Font("Arial Unicode MS", Font.PLAIN, 20);
g.setFont(font);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawString(textString panelXSize/2-posX, panelYSize/2-posY);
g.drawLine(panelXSize/2, panelYSize/2,panelXSize/2-posX, panelYSize/2-posY);
}

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with each letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word and Pages. Any idea of how to resolve this annoying problem is appreciated. System: 10.10.1

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with every letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word 2011 and Pages. Any idea of how to solve this annoying problem will be much appreciated. System 10.10.1 on a MacPro (Late 2013)

The mouse is controlled by the OS so don't guess any app other than a mouse driver or OS X itself would be able to cause this sort of flicker issue.
Have you seen the following and is it what you are seeing? Maybe you could make a movie (Quicktime is great for this this to make a screen recording) - but not sure how to attach a movie to these discussions as mine is grayed out and can't be selected (to the right of the insert image). Here is the what I found for a search of "mouse cursor flickers os x yosemite"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNQ0D84DdF4
What kind of mouse are you using? Is the mouse driver up to date if it's a third party mouse?

Frames with link to Struts do not render before mouse over in IE 7.0?

Hi
We have troubles with frames with link to Struts, which do not render before mouse over in IE 7.0? The application works fine with Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0, we have analyzed the cause to be whenever
you refer to a struts 1.0 action in your frames, you'll see the frames underneath.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
<frameset cols="168,*" border="0">

How to define mouse-over event for a icon

Hello,
I have defined a icon for a panel in my plugin. I want that the icon should be changed on mouse over event.
The code for icon is given below.
resource PanelList (kDNDListsPaletteResourceID) {
                    // 1st panel in the list
                    kDNDListsPaletteResourceID,                    // Resource ID for this panel (use SDK default rsrc ID)
                    kIBPluginPluginID,                                             // ID of plug-in that owns this panel
          #if CSVER >= 4
                    kIsResizable,
          #else
                    isResizable,
          #endif
                    kIBClientPluginDNDPanelWidgetActionID,          // Action ID to show/hide the panel
                    kIBClientPluginDNDPanelTitleKey,               // Shows up in the Window list.
                    "",                                                           // Alternate menu path of the form "Main:Foo" if you want your palette menu item in a second place
                    0.0,                                                                                     // Alternate Menu position Alternate Menu position for determining menu order
                    kPlusIconPNGIconRsrcID, kIBPluginPluginID,                                                            // Rsrc ID, Plugin ID for a PNG icon resource to use for this palette
                    c_Panel
Where should I give the resourceID of the other icon?

Hi
First change the name from kPlusIconPNGIconRsrcID to kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID
so "I" will indicate that your icon is inactive
Create another resource id like:
#define kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID 15
#define kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID 15
Define paths to the icons
resource PNGA(kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_I.png" // Inactive icon
resource PNGR(kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_A.png" // Active icon

Using mouse overs with pop-ups

I'd like to create a pdf using mouse overs to display otherwise hidden text (in describing various portions of a photo in the doc). Can anyone lead me in the right direction as specific guidance in 'Help' has so far been limited?

You can use the "Tooltip" for an easy method. You can also use teh "On Focus" and "On Blur" action of a field to show or hide a hidden field by either the drop down actions or JavaScript.

Mouse-Over Labels sometimes truncated (bug fix requested)

Hello,
In both Xcelsius 2008 and all subsequent fixes, the Mouse-Over labels are sometimes truncated. It happens when I have a text category that could be translated as a number. For example, if I name a category "1E" ("1E" is a type of problem that our department is tracking) then when I hover the mouse over the pie chart it will just say "1" as the category name. "1A", "1F", etc work which would lead me to believe that it perceives "1E" to be the same as the exponential 1*10^1, which is why it is showing "1". It happens even if the categories are specified as text. I think this is a bug that should be addressed in the upcoming SP2.

Hi,
   What version of Xcelsius and LiveOffice do you have in place?
   Also, did you actually raise an SAP ticket and recieve an confirmation from Support Engineer (via ADAPT) that a developer will look into it last year? Please note, nothing will get fix unless it is logged under the proper channel.
   From what I can see, this is the only relevant ADAPT similar to yours (KBArticle 1403226 - See below). Although this doesn't mention anything about Mouse-Over Labels. Hope it helps.
Symptom
Character 'e' which behind the numbers (like 1e) will be lost after refreshing Live Office objects
Reproducing the Issue
Create a table in SQL server, add some columns with nchar(10) type
In this table, add some records with value like '1e', '1389e'
Create a Universe based on this table
Create a Webi report based on this Universe
Create a Live Office object based on this Webi report
Create an Xcelsius dashboard, and use Spreadsheet Table to show this Live Office object
Choose 'refresh on load' or add a refresh button to refresh this connection
You wiil find the character 'e' which behind the numbers (like 1e) will be lost
(For detail information about the reproduce steps, please refer to attached doc with some screenshots)
Cause
The issue has been identified and logged under Problem Report ID ADAPT01296829 (Xcelsius side) and ADAPT01290988 (Live Office side)
Resolution
Apply fix packages at both Xcelsius and Live Office sides to fix this issue:
Live Office FP2.3 or SP3
XCelsius X5 LAFix2.0.3 or Xcelsius SP3
Regards,
Ken

Mouse over, bubble

Hello, I'm new to the forums
I just started learning flash a few days ago and i am LOVING
it!
I already started work ona a website, but I need some help.
In my website I want to have a few pictures where if you move
your mouse over them they show you an bubble with information or a
text box.
How would I go about doing this?
I know there is some action script that would help me
Thanks!

You can use a transparent button field with tooltip text.

Mouse over question

i've made some buttons that on mouseover shows a larger picture above the button. when the cursor leaves that button though the picture disappears until the user mouses over the button again. is there a way to ensure that the picture stays up until the user mouses over another button (then they would see another image)?

Gotcha. Well, here's a "for instance."
Suppose you turn an image into a Movie Clip Symbol. The first frame of your new clip is where your initial button image is. On frame two insert a keyframe and name it "Start" or something like that.
Then, insert a new layer above your original button image. Using the square tool, draw a square over your image. Convert that square to a button symbol. Highlight it, then choose "Edit in Place." Highlight the square image again, right click and choose "cut." Insert a new keyframe on the "HIT" frame, then paste in place that square. You can exit edit in place.
Click on the button you just made, go to Actions and write something like this.
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Start")};
This will move the playhead to the start frame. If you plan on animating your button, make sure you place a keyframe and the end of your animation. Open your actionscript layer, if you have one (otherwise, make one and insert a stop action in the last frame). stop();
This will make the movie play when someone rolls over the hit button you made, which is placed over your original image. It will stop the playhead wherever your button animation stops. If you do the same thing for another button, when the user clicks the other button it will move the playhead to that movie section.
I'm not the best at explaining these things, but hopefully that offers some clarity. I can try to get a little more detailed if need be.
Good luck.

How to make movieclip controlled by button fade in/out on mouse over/out?

Hi,
I am new to Flash, and have tried searching numerous forums to the answer to this question, but nothing I try seems to work. Basically I am trying to create a single "Image" that triggers different animations when you mouse over different invisible buttons located on specific areas. The technique I am using is basically spacing out the animations over different frames, and using the gotoAndPlay command specifying the where the relevant animation is located.
Here is the code from my actions layer with two animations:
stop(); /*This ensures no animations are playing on the first frame*/
/*Mouse over event for redbutton1*/
redbutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2);
function fl_MouseOverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndPlay(2); /*This is the frame where the animaton triggered by redbutton1 is located*/
/* Mouse Out Event for redbutton1*/
redbutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fl_MouseOutHandler_3);
function fl_MouseOutHandler_3(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndPlay(1) /*takes animation back to the start of timeline where it stops*/
/*Mouse over event for bluebutton1*/
bluebutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2);
function fl_MouseOverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndPlay(30); /*This is the frame where the animaton triggered by bluebutton1 is located*/
/* Mouse Out Event for bluebutton1*/
bluebutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fl_MouseOutHandler_3);
function fl_MouseOutHandler_3(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndPlay(1) /*takes animation back to the start of timeline where it stops*/
Now basically all I need is some code that means that instead of abruptly starting and stopping the animation, the animation will fade in/out whenever the mouseover/out events are triggered. Note: the animation doesn't have to finish, it basically only plays while the mouse is over.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It will help oif you show the code for the code-based tweening. The basics of getting it working with the MOUSE_OVER/OUR commands is fairly straightforward.
You have listeners for both events, and the handlers for each listener is where you activate the tweens. For more seamless functionality it is usually a good idea to have the starting point of the tween be the point where the object currently is (its x or y (or both) propertiy) instead of a fixed value.

Add mouse-over text to photos in keynote '09

Hi,
I'm creating a presentation, and I would like additional text to appear when a user slides their mouse over the photo in the slideshow. For example, when I'm editing the slides, when I hold the mouse over the photo it says, "This image is a placeholder. Drag a new media file here to replace it". Is this possible? Can I change that text so that when a user plays a presentation, they can hold their mouse over the photo and see additional information?
thanks,
Ali

how can i point out something on the keynote lecture - no mouse action at all?
