Options
You can change the properties of the mouse object using its Properties Inspector (Window > Properties).
Available Mouse Pointers List Displays the available pointers. Click Browse to navigate to a
custom file (CUR file format for Windows and PICT for Mac).
Double Mouse Size Doubles the size of the pointer.
Straight Pointer Path Select this option to have the pointer follow a straight path between its start and end points. By
default, the pointer follows a curved path that gives the motion a more realistic look. You can change to a straight path
if, for example, your project is a demonstration showing how to draw a line in a graphics program.
Reduce Speed Before Click Select this option to slow the mouse movement down before the click occurs. This option
is useful for a long mouse path that moves quickly and stops suddenly.
Mouse Click Sound Select this option to play a sound when the pointer reaches its destination. Click the pop-up menu
to select a sound (Single Click or Double Click). You can also select Browse and navigate to a sound file.
Show Mouse Click Adds a visual click effect to the mouse movement.
• Default Displays a quick, small burst of color when the user clicks the slide. You can select a color for the color
burst.
• Custom Select this option to use a SWF file as a visual click effect. Adobe Captivate includes two effects you can
use. Test them by clicking the pop-up menu, selecting one, and then clicking Play. View the effect in the small preview
window on the right.
Timing
Display For
The time during which the pointer is displayed on the slide. If you select specific time, then specify the time.
Appear After Delay between the first appearance of the slide and the first appearance of the slide pointer.
