    Move the arrow?

    Hi all!
    Been awhile, been buried in my new project with 4.0, beautiful thing!
    Question:Is there a way to move the mouse arrow or hand?
    For example, On mouse click the arrow moves 2 inches right, or something like that.

    Thanks for any help,
    Tom

    There is nothing like that built into AutoPlay Media Studio 4.0. I will enter it as a suggestion. There may be a way but I have no clue what it is...... Lorne??

      Other than moving the arrow, what is it you are trying to accomplish?

        You could do this in FlashMX.

          I am using the program Winbatch. This program has a beautiful macro feature to let the mouse move, click dubbleclick etc.
          Maybe this can help you.

          programming is very easy, just put the characters in the right order....

            Thanks for the suggestions you guys! As for Tiggers question, I have a button that when you Mouse Over, the page changes. Mouse leave brings it back. When the page does change on Mouse over, the page it goes to has another button in the same place and Mouse Over takes it to a third page. So, It will jump to the third page from the second right away because the mouse arrow is over the button when it jumps to page two.
            I figured if the arrow moved off the button during the jump to page 2, it would remain showing until the user moved it back to the button to jump to page 3.
            Wait...(reading what I just said).....yea, that's right.

            I am most likely doing this the long way and there is always an eaiser solution. So please bear with me.

            Again, thank you all for the help!

              Use variables and IF/END IF blocks to control whether the page jump happens on the mouse over for the button on page 2.

              Something like %EnableMouseOver% (or %Page2MouseOver%)...set it to FALSE in the "On Mouse Over" event on page 1, then set it to TRUE in the "On Mouse Leave" event on page 2. That way the page jump won't happen until after the mouse leaves the button on page 2 and then moves back over it.

              Note: it is almost never a good idea to move the mouse automatically for the user. Usability studies have shown that users very strongly dislike having the mouse pointer move independently of moving the mouse. It gives them the sense (quite correctly) that they aren't in control.
