Hi again Suzan
To make objects hide or show at run time would require
developing your own custom Flash object in a manner that would
support that.
As for the mouse, I'm thinking that you are seeing the
following. If you have absorbed what I presented in the little
demo, you will hopefully understand the following points:
* You are limited to a single mouse movement per slide. You
cannot perform a circular action or a zig zag.
* The mouse starting point can be set for only the first
slide where the mouse makes its appearance.
* The mouse starting point for subsequent slides is
determined by where it
stopped on the previous slide containing mouse movement.
So here is what I think you may be seeing. Assume you start
mouse movement on slide one. Mouse moves from upper left corner to
the middle of the screen.
Slide two has the mouse moving from the middle of the screen
to the upper right corner of the screen.
Slide three has the mouse moving from the upper right corner
of the screen to the lower left corner of the screen.
Now lets say you turn the mouse off for slide two. If you
were to do this, slide three would have a new mouse starting point.
Its starting point would be where the mouse stopped on slide one.
So instead of starting in the upper right corner of the screen and
traveling to the lower left corner, it will now start in the middle
of the screen, because that is where it stopped on the last slide
that has mouse movement, which is slide one.
Does that make more sense?
Cheers... Rick
