Right-click shows cursor

I am working on an AS2 project that uses a movieClip as a
custom cursor. All
is good except when the user right-clicks and shows the
context menu, it
also unhides the mouse - so I have the clip, and the normal
cursor. I could
hide the mouse every so often, with a timer, but wanted to
make sure there
wasn't something I was missing.

Hey Dave,
How are you assigning the clip as the cursor?

  • Right-click Shows Multiple Copies of Programs

    Why are there multiple copies of programs when right-click on a file to Open With?
    There are FIVE Adobe Reader v8.1.1, FIVE EasyCrop, FIVE ImageWell, FIVE GraphicConverter, FIVE Makeabooklet choices showing and more.
    How can I clean up that list? And, of course, more importantly, am I doing anything obviously incorrectly? When I install prorams, they're all going to the Applications folder.
    Many thanks.

    Wow...This advice even cleared up the minor problem was having with Adobe loading (Adobe was telling me that I had an incomplete install - and to re-install).
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
    Reset launch services is what the advice is. Read ALL the instructions before you proceed with the detailed info at...

  • Right-Click "Show In Playlist - Music" flips to top of Music library

    Hello Apple Discussions;
    I would like to know if anyone has experienced the following:
    On some occasions, while in Party Shuffle mode, or for that matter, in any playlist whatsoever, sometimes right-clicking on a track, selecting "Show in Playlist -> Music" seems to select the song for a microsecond, then flips to the very beginning of the playlist.
    To recover, you must either search for the song, or go back to Party Shuffle and repeat the process. The second time you perform this operation it always works.
    It seems to happen only randomly. I've also noticed that you can duplicate the process with Artists as well.
    Select an Artist in the Browser and the behavior sometimes will occur within the browser's Artist sub-list.
    This behavior has been in play since at least version 7 and continues to this day on my Macbook Pro.
    Thanks everyone who can help,

  • Trackpad click shows cursor 1 space to right

    Is anyone else seeing this symptom?
    When using the Trackpad (A1339) to place a cursor (between characters), the resulting cursor shows 1 character/space to the right. So you have to 'aim off' in order to select the right character.
    In fact, it's 2 places to the right.
    To replicate:
    Select 10pt
    Write some text with no spaces between
    Use trackpad to select between 2 characters
    Use arrow back key to count the amount of 'offset' there is.

    Fixed with another machine shut-down, and reboot.

  • Right click shows (cut, copy,paste) but does not work. Did in IE

    I can not copy from Firefox and paste to Word like I did in IE. It will just paste whatever I had copied from Word before the browsing session. There is an add in on Word for "Person Name (Outlook email recipients)", but I don't know what that means if anything about this.

    Also,under "edit", "cut,copy, delete" are not available but "paste" is.

  • 20.0.1 Update: right-click on page shows ALL menu options, many (all?) don't work, no "view page source", no "open in new tab"

    after update to 20.0.1 a few hours ago, right click shows ALL menu options, many (all?) don't work, like "view page source", "open in new tab" etc. etc.

    I'm having the same issue on Firebug 1.11.3....The "more robust" right click menu does return when I disable the extension. Would you recommend downgrading Firebug to 1.11.2? Hate to have to turn off Firebug "except when I'm working" but either option seems to have both pros/cons.
    This behavior happens on both PC and Mac (although the above information was tested on my PC - I'll have to check the Mac later and see if Firebug is doing the same thing there. I believe I have the most recent Firebug there, too)
    The PC is on Firefox 20.0.1, Mac should be as well.
    Thanks

  • Window starts to open then closes; right click on icon shows open windows but cannot open to use

    opening firefox the window flashes and closes to right of screen. clicking on icon does nothing. right clicking shows 1 or more windows, but they will not open.

    I have this exact same problem - I use WIN 7 and FF 3.6.13 - no one believes what I am seeing (except you :>) ) - hopefully someone will be able to respond with a solution
    I have uninstalled FF and re-installed same problem
    The FF WIN 7 taskbar preview shows the correct display and when I click it I get a flash and it appears to go off right side of screen

  • How to enable right-click in Captivate 6

    When right-clicked, shows the following error:
    Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
        at com.adobe.captivate.main::rdButton$/doRightClick()
        at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()
        at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_callIn()
        at Function/<anonymous>()

    Are you launching the SWF via the HTML file or just double-clicking on the SWF?
    For right click to work you need the following:
    Turn OFF Accessibility in Preferences
    Add a click box somewhere in the movie with Right Click set as the event to trigger some action.
    Publish to HTML/SWF and make sure the JS file is also present in the output folder.
    Set the publish folder location as a trusted location in Flash Global Security.
    Test publish and your right click should now work.

  • Adobe Captivate 6 - right click enable

    When right-clicked, shows the following error:
    Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
        at com.adobe.captivate.main::rdButton$/doRightClick()
        at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()
        at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_callIn()
        at Function/<anonymous>()

    generally that's caused by a loop (for, do or while) that does not terminate within 15 seconds.  in flash there's a setting that allows longer execution.
    i'm not a captivate expert.  so, if you need to find that setting in captivate, post in a captivate forum:  http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_captivate
    however, that message almost always indicates a code error.  the only exceptions are loops that you know are iterating many thousands of times and you expect that timeout problem.

  • Right click to get to Show File in iphoto

    I was at the Apple Store Sat and was shown that if I right click a photo a list will appear including the show file command. With this command I get to the actual photo.
    I have just reinstalled ilife 09 and attempted to get the list when I right clicked. Nothing.
    Is my mouse bad?
    How should I find out how to get the list to appear when I right click?

    It was a good thought, but when I looked at the keyboard and mouse and the other topics, I did not see anything that would have to do with right click. I did learn a lot about the mouse, scrolling and setting the five buttons, but nothing to do with right clicks. Speed of the cursor. scrolling and double click. Where should the right click enabled reside. Thanks and thank you for your patience. I have had a Mac for years but have never needed to use some of these features. Herb

  • Right-click menu not showing certain options?

    When I highlight text, and right-click, it used to show options such as "Search Google for '(the highlighted text)'", or "Open Link in New Tab" if the text was a URL. Now, it shows none of these options, or copy, paste, cut, delete, select all, and others. I have a picture '''[http://i.imgur.com/q9N00.png here]''' as an example, and this is seriously annoying me, as the searching for highlighted text was one of my most used features. I've used multiple add-ons that edit the right-click menu, but none of them have worked.
    Any ideas on how I can get it back to normal? Thanks.

    dont know if this will help but heres the table i remembered :

  • Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

    Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

    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.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • I accidentally ran iPhoto Library Upgrader on my Picture folder and now I have to right click on it to "show contents" instead of looking at it in Finder.  Help!

    Help!  I have 2 problems related to iPhoto:
    1:  I accidentally ran iPhoto Library Upgrader on my Picture folder and now I have to right click on it to "show contents" instead of double clicking on it and looking at it in Finder.  I cannot figure out how to fix my Pictures Folder so that I can click on it and view it in Finder, when I double click on it Terminal opens up with this message  "Pictures - Bash 80x24"  and
    Last login: Mon Nov  3 14:00:05 on ttys000

    It will not let me replace or delete the folder...  I got to my files and backed them up, but trying to avoid reinstalling my OS.
    2:  When I try to Upgrade my Library.iPhoto file so I can open it in iPhoto it says I need to finish by opening in iPhoto, but then when I do, it tells me it first needs to be upgraded in the iPhoto Library Upgrader... Vicious circle.  Please, help!  Just trying to recover about 3 years worth of photos...

    Hi!  Thanks for responding!
    I have iPhoto 9.5.1, I am on OS X Version 10.9.5 on a MacBook Pro with 2.66 GHz
    My current "iPhoto Library" file is OK (I can open it with iPhoto), however I cannot access the old one from iPhoto 6 titled Library.iPhoto
    I tried right clicking and choosing the application, it did not work.
    "exactly how did you "I got to my files and backed them up"" - I showed the contents of my Pictures folder, and it opened up the folders in Finder and I copied them to an external hard drive.  In my Picture folder I have several folders of Photos plus the iPhoto Library files (old & current)
    I do have old back ups, but they are from April, and I recently imported 5 months of photos from my iPhone, so the iPhoto Library I copied after showing contents is the one I need.

  • When I right click on a link to open in new tab and move my cursor into the dialog box the box dissapears this is new in the last 24 hours.

    I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I fix the right-click context menu; it has blank entries and shows no selectable options?

    recently I have noticed that my right-click context menu looks like it has no entries. It shows up on a right-click, but the whole menu is blank. On further investigation there are scroll buttons on the top and bottom of the menu and if I hover over the up buttom eventually the normal context commands scroll down from above. I noticed this first a few days ago, shortly after the download of 3.6.13. Today I also noticed that some of my menu bars were showing a similar issue with blank entries in the menus. In one case the menu also didn't register where the mouse was, highlighting a command several steps further up.
    Is this something to do with the new Mozilla or something else? I only run a couple of addons, Ad Block Plus and Tab Mix Plus. Can try to capture a screen shot of the issue, but difficult since the menu dissapears when I try to do a screen grab!
    All help is much appreciated.

    Hi, thanks for the quick response!
    While trying to find info on how to fix this I looked up some context menu addons for FF and tried one. It didn't work so I uninstalled it and after that everything was back to normal. Odd, but there you have it. I still don't know what went wrong in the first place but for the moment it appears to have cleared up.
    Next time though I will try loading into Safe Mode if I find any issues (I forgot there was one!).
    Thanks for getting back to me again.
