Feature Improvement: Set mouse timing separate from slide

Question

We need the ability to set the mouse timing separately from
the slide timing. For example: I want to have the slide viewable
for 15 seconds. I want the mouse to appear immediately (when the
slide appears 0.0 seconds). Then I want the mouse to "travel" for
about 2.5 seconds. However, when I save the file and look at the
slide, Captivate adjusts the mouse to appear 0.0 seconds after the
slide appears, but now the mouse takes 15 seconds to "travel". When
the distance between objects on the screen is slight, the movement
of the mouse is almost imperceptable.

Thanks, DBlake

HiThe Timeline and Mouse properties are basically one and thesame. They are simply two different avenues/representations of thesame thing. Doesn't matter whether you click and drag in theTimeline or elect to change these timings via the dialog.Personally, I'm a click and drag person. But the properties dialogmay make more sense to others.Sincerely... Rick Unfortunately, the timeline feature and the Propertiesfeature for the mouse seem to work differently. I kept changing themouse Properties and setting the slide properties. Then when I wentto another slide and came back, I noticed that Captivateautomatically changed the Properties for the mouse to incorporatethe entire length of time of the slide. However, using the timelinedrag method seems to solve the problem. I'm happy knowing that wecan resolve the issue, but think we may have a bug on our hands. I'll be passing the timeline method along as the solution forour team. Thanks everyone for your assistance. - DBlake

DMBlake, have you tried to adjust the timing of the mouse inthe timeline? The mouse should have it's own row, and you can dragthe right-hand side of the mouse timing box. Also, if youright-click the mouse, you can select "properties" and adjust somesettings there.
