We had a SL tutorial created for us that has a short screencast with a mouse [hand] to click on the search button. The problem is the hand stays on all the screens following the one it 'clicks' on. I tried deleting it but could not. I made it a shorter time on the timeline which did not help. Another thought I had was to redo the screen cast without a cursor hand image but before doing that is there something else I could do?
Attached are some screen shots of what it is doing.
I just looked at it again and am embarrassed to say it is not a screencast. It is a series of screen shots. It shows a database search search, followed by the keywords being typed followed by the hand cursor flying in from the left. After the mouse appears it never goes away.
I've wondering about redoing this screen. Thought about rebuilding it [not a duplicate] with the images minus the mouse.
Attached is a screenshot of the timeline. This shows the animations of the search screen as the keywords are entered.
I copied all of the images except the cursor into a new slide and it worked. The slides transitions nicely from the search screen to the search results screen without us needing the mouse.
Thanks for your quick response. It helped me think more clearly about a solution rather than being frustrated & stumped!!!
It worked but there should be a way to delete or hide the mouse without this workaround. Happy, that it worked even if it probably wasn’t the best solution.

Hi Bee,
Are you using the view, test, or try mode for this screencast? Could you share the file here for us to take a look?

Hi Bee,
I was in the middle of a reply when I saw your second one :) Glad to see you got it all squared away. Let us know if you need anything else.
