Re: finger cursor over flash buttons?

[Bruce Epstein - Zeus Productions]

Colin, are you joking? Unless there is something that you are trying to do
which I don't understand, your method is entirely inefficient and
unnecessary. Your method also won't necessarily work fast enough depending
on the number of sprite and frame rate.

The appropriate way to set a cursor over a sprite is using the
sprite().cursor property.

Such as (off the top of my head):

property pSpr

on beginSprite me
  pSpr = sprite(me.spriteNum)
  pSpr.cursor = 280
end

on endSprite
  pSpr.cursor = 0
end


I criticize your technique only because most people on the list know you to
be sane in the majority of cases, but you seem to have lost some of your
marbles.

Or maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think so.

Agreed. But don't forget to reset the sprite cursor in the endSprite
handler as I've shown above.
