Three image menu and cursor

[stonemason]

I have a menu which consists of three images. The first has information on for the viewer to read, the second is a blank slide and the third the menu page which runs the sideshows from buttons. Is the any way of making the cursor stay hidden for the first two slides but remain visible for the third, without breaking it into two sequences and having one trigger the other?

Why?

Not a silly question - it's just that there might be another way of doing what you want.

It's part of an auto run menu on a CD and I'd rather not have an arrow head in the middle of the text that someone is reading. I know they could move the cursor out of the way, but it would be better if it did not appear until needed.

As the option for the mouse cursor is a global feature of the project, I do not see a better solution as the one that you have proposed above for yourself (concatenate two sequences)

Geoff,

The only other option would be to autohide the cursor. It will vanish after the specified time interval but re-appear if the mouse is moved.

Minimum setting for autohide = 1s.

Because it takes longer than 1s to start a show - if the mouse is not active when the show starts the pointer is not visible.

P.S. BUT THAT DOES NOT ANSWER GEOFF's QUESTION.

Looks like it's not possible without running two sequences. I wonder if there would be any support for in addition to "auto hide after n seconds" there was "Show cursor after n seconds". I would certainly find it useful, and would be interested in Igor's comments on such an option.

Thanks for all the input.
