Hide the mouse-pointer

I am creating a game that I would like to be a ble to show in class on an Interactive Whiteboard.

Is there any way that I can do this?

(Preferably, I would like to show/hide it in a block??)

Re: Hide the mouse-pointer

Unfortunately, there is no way to hide the mouse-pointer at the moment, but it's been a much-requested feature to be able to set the mouse pointer to whatever you'd like.  smile  I personally agree with that.

Hey! It would be so cool if we could attach sprites with the mouse pointer.

You can with the "Go to mouse pointer" block.

The unfortunate part is that there is some lag with that, and the mouse pointer is still in front of the sprite  hmm

Re: Hide the mouse-pointer

But the only problem with this is:

How would you unhide the mouse once you hide it? You would have to click on=, like, a show mouse block, but you wouldn't be able to see where you're clicking...  hmm

maybe it would show and change back to normal when it's outside of the stage area.

Good point...  hmm

But how about there could be an escaping key that would show the mouse?

Well, you would have a sprite in place of the mouse so you could see where it is  roll

Re: Hide the mouse-pointer

Also, the mouse hide blocks could only work in fullscreen.

I think the ST should add it in 2.0.

Re: Hide the mouse-pointer

well, if you use a mouse such as in the game 'Final Frontier', when the mouse is not moving, it hides. I think it does that normally anyway

Please don't necropost. That's posting on an old, irrelevant topic.
