Why a mouse click before my actions will work?
I've built a very simple animation
stop - immediately on the first frame
mouse click on button - go to the next frame and stop
and then I have an image that I have set to move (scroll) - Move with Keyboard Arrows
plus another button - go to previous frame and stop
That's it. Super basic.
My question is why do I have to do a mouse click before the "Move with Keyboard Arrows" action will work??
and
How do I make the "Move with Keyboard Arrows" action work without having to do a mouse click first?
