Repeat animation on a page in Captivate 9

New Here ,
May 18, 2017 May 18, 2017

I am creating a software simulation in Captivate 9 and I want the user to be able to repeat the cursor animation on the page with a button.  I know there must be a simple way to do it but I just can't find it.  Any suggestions?

What do you mean by 'cursor animation'? A software simulation: which mode (Demo, Training, Assessment)? Or are you talking about mouse movements captured in FMR (Full Motion Recording) slides? Only way to replay those movements is by replaying the slide:

When I refer to "cursor animation" I mean the cursor movement that Captivate captures when creating a Demo.

Must be a terminology problem: when capturing a simulation in demo mode you get static slides and Full Motion Recording slides. On the static slides you can have mouse objects, which have also a mouse path (blue line). That is the mouse movement path. Are you talking about that? Or are you referring to the FMR slides, where drag actions are recorded in a video way? Anyway, what I told before is valide: you have to replay the slide, and I offered you a link to a blog post which explains how you can create a Replay slide button.

Are you talking about having the HAND cursor appear when the user places their mouse over a button?

Look in the Properties > Actions area for the check box for Hand Cursor.

No, I don't want the hand to appear.  I just want to be able to replay where the cursor moves on the screen in my demo.
