Mouse problem!

Hi Eric,

In a screen recording you can't change where the mouse enters from - but you could delete the mouse cursor that is included and add your own mouse cursor in (Insert tab-> Mouse) and then control the enter behavior through that version. 

Hi Ashley,

Yeah tried this and even when I delete the mouse and insert a new one the 'enter form' is still greyed out. I have attached the .story file

Hi Eric,

Thanks for sharing the file here. I discussed this with a few of my other colleagues to confirm, and it seems that the "Enter from" behavior is greyed out when you have multiple consecutive slides with mouse cursors, as the end point of the first will be the beginning point of the next.

If you'd like to see additional control and customization added to the mouse cursor options, please know we always welcome and encourage feature requests.

Hi Ashley!

Great, thanks for the response - I'll submit a feature request

Hi Eric,

As a workaround, you could insert a blank slide inbetween each of your slides to 'break' the behaviour of starting the mouse from the end point of the previous slide?

You will also have to amend your triggers so that that next button bypasses each of the blank slides so the learner doesn't see them 

Hi everyone

Did you find a solution for this problem? Im facing the same problem with Storyline 360.

Thanks and best regards

David

Hi David, thanks for chiming in!

Is the "Enter from" button greyed out? That will happen when you have consecutive slides with mouse cursors, as the end point of the first cursor will be the beginning point of the next cursor.

Did you try the workaround Anthony mentioned above?

Hi Alyssa 

Thank you for your response. Yes, the "Enter from" Button is greyed out. But the point is, that on the Slide before there is no cursor...

Ah, that changes things! Can you share your project file with me?  If you'd like to keep it private, use this form instead.

I need to control where my mouse movement begins and ends.  The enter from option doesn't give me much control.  How do I do this without having to record a new screen?  Looks like people have been asking about this for 7 years and there's not a fix or easier way to do this?  The workaround does work to allow the Enter From option to appear, at least. In the attached, I want to start the mouse at Links and move it to Transactions.
