Mouse problem!

Hi Patrick!

Thank you for sharing the screenshot! It sounds like you have a need for more control than what we offer under Mouse Tools. I understand how this would be a beneficial addition to Storyline 360. I'll go ahead and share this request with my team. I'll report back to this discussion when I have an update to share.

Hi there, I'm working with Storyline 360 and have the 'grayed' out Enter From options for my mouse cursor. Reading above, i see that it needs some sort of break between slides... i would suggest that there just be an option on the mouse tool, to "stop continuation" or "break cursor" or something to that effect - seems like a simple thing to incorporate....?? 

but also, I'm wondering, why does the mouse tool show on the slide, before it appears on the timeline? I would expect it to not show on the slide until it appears on the timeline, and i have no options for the 'enter from' because i have a cursor on the previous slide.... 

Hi Lindsay,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing.

I want to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening with your permission. Which slide are you referring to with the mouse cursor appearing before it's on the timeline? You can share it publicly here or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.

Thanks, Lindsay. I've received your file and will take a look and reply to your privately.

Why are you unable to edit the mouse action any more than you were 7-10 years ago. There should be a drawable and/or customizable path for the mouse, it should have the ability to appear on screen midway through a slide and then disappear once you decide the animation should be finished, and you should be able to have mouse animations on consecutive slides! This is a nice tool to indicate to the user that interaction exists on the slide but it could be so so so much better with just a tiny bit of work by the dev team (as is the case with a LOT of the features on this software)
