Buttons V Markers SL2
Jan 09, 2015
I really want to have a button that pulses so the user when starting a course is shown "this is where you click".
The problem is you cant get a pulse on a button as an animation, I then figured i could use a marker but that has the call out box and i dont want a call out box all the time? Can I delete the call out box but keep the marker?
Can markers be changed to square as then i could use a pulsing marker for the into and then keep my square buttons for the rest of the course.
To sumarise any of these will solve my problem so
Can I make a button pulse?
Can I remove a call out from a marker?
Can I change the shape of a marker to square?

Hi Rachel, I have made a button "pulse" by showing it on the timeline, removing it from the timeline and then adding it back onto the timeline after a fractional amount of time.
Can I remove a call out from a marker? You used to be able to do this in SL1. I think there was a post yesterday that says there is a bug in this function in SL2. I haven't had to use this feature since I upgraded but there is definitely something different about markers in SL2.
Can I change the shape of a marker to square? Not that I'm aware of.
Cheers, Julie
Hi Rachel
have you tried creating a button and overlaying a marker on top - see attached sample.
Also, you can check the 'audio only' option for the marker and the callout won't display.
Sorry - think we are stuck with circles for the marker shape.
'Audio only' solves my problem, i just need to change all my buttons to circles so they blend in woth markers but thats not too bad.
Thank you so much for your helop
You could start a new trend!!
