We are building kiosks for Vista, and have encountered a problem with Director
11

Director 11 on XP and Vista:
Problem: cursor always appears over WMVs and MPGs sprites on stage
Things tried: Cursor 200, new _cursor.etc syntax tried, framescripts
moviescripts, behaviours etc.
within, etc.

I tried a lot, can't seem to program around it.

The system will appear the cursor, everywhere else on stage it will go.

Do this 6 years, we never had this, and it's vital.
Tried cursor hiders on Vista and XP. Always hides, WM within the projector is
the only one overruling.

The cursor is impossible to hide when it is over the video.
System seems to be overruling. It's probably a Director 11 bug.

Anyone have any idea how to get the cursor to dissapear ?
Or anyone encounter this ?

Does anyone have a short term solution ? Cursor hiders won't work:
- Does anyone know if it is possible in Vista registry to set the start
location of the mouse to for example 0,0
- Does anyone know if there is a way in Director to set the mouseh and mousev ?
- Does anyone know how to hide the cursor in Director 11 over WMVs or MPGs ?

I think this has always been an issue with #windowsMedia sprites.
You could use Buddy API's baRestrictCursor() and baFreeCursor() to force
the cursor off the WMV sprite while it plays.
Alternatively, since it's a kiosk, you could try the MPEG Advance xtra
or another media player xtra that supports WMV

Thnx a lot, and you are correct the issue also happens on older versions.
We simply never encountered caus most things have input through touchscreen
etc,
or used the MPEG advance xtra (in the older days).
Made H264 movs for the moment, and trying an Mpeg version with the MPEG
Advance xtra

Thanx.
