Mouse Move issues

Post by JasonSTI »

We are in the process of using Mimic to recreate some old DemoShield videos that were out of date and needed to be modernized. We are going with a Flash project that we can build into a HTML Help project in Flare. Running up against a few issues with mouse movement.

I added a mouse move object at the correct time in the slide (8.8 to 9.3 seconds). I would like it to move to a specific position and stop. However, when it moves, it does not go to the correct location (where I had the trajectory stop), instead stopping much lower on the screen. I know I want the mouse to move from the center of the screen to an exact (x,y) coordinate, but there doesnt seem to be a place to define this point. Is there a way to make this movement more exact?

Additionally, when it stops it immediately transitions to the next slide. It seems to reset to GoToNext for EndAction. I don't want it to do anything as an End Action; an Action of (default) does nothing, but an EndAction of (default) is GotoNext. How can I make this not transition?

Thanks for the help. Transitioning to new software is always a big step; its nice to know madcap has such a helpful community!

Its been a while since I posted this, but just to update anyone who is having similar issues. The Cursor object HAS to have a EndAction, even though it doesnt always make sense to have one. I instead used an Image object with an Animation of Move, and this works fine since they do not require an EndAction.
