It doesn't flash; rather, it appears if it was previously invisible.

In addition to all these great suggestions, I have found that you can edit the cursor
resources in dirapi.dll on Windows before you
make a projector. I used this to get rid of the ugly finger cursor in 7.02. I used
VC++ to open the DLL as resources.

I don't think it matters much whether the movies are linked,
imported(?), or whatever. The problem is that the operating system takes
control over the cursor sometimes, like during loading, wheth

Thanks for the replies I got so far.
I made an invisible cursor cast member, which worked the same way as cursor
200. (I didn't really need to use imaging lingo, just made an 8 bit empty
bitmap and used insert -> cursor) Unfortunately, it didn't work any better

Good morning,
I have a program that runs on 4 touchscreen kiosks, The software for the monitor has a
option to turn off the cursor. I don't use cursor 200 in my program at all. I use
TouchWare Drivers and Utilities, its supports Windows, MS-Dos, OS/2 and Macintosh. I
find it on the internet. I

The best luck I've had with this is to use BudAPI's baPlaceCursor(x,y)
method to move the cursor to the bottom-right corner of the screen. I

Apperently yes.
Make a 17*17 pixels 1 bit bitmap, that is white except for a black
one-pixel line along the right and botom side.

I had that problem once and successfully solved it combining lingo's cursor
200 and budapi's placeCursor: What I did was hide the cursor and place it
off-screen, so that if it flashs, it won't be seen. About buying BudAPI, if
you are only using up to two functions you can use it for free, but as s
