Re: Can Revolution create a large, colored cursor?

[Douglas Westbrook]

I think I used the term "graphic" incorrectly, sorry
I suggest hiding the curser and showing a image on mousewithin and 
setting the image to the mouseloc on mousemove which is not a cursor 
but gives the same effect. I used mouseleave to reverse the effect or 
to  hide the image and show the cursor. I couldn't get the "cursor" to 
work by the cursor  method ether, but hiding the cursor and using an 
image allowed me to use any size or  type image to make the image look 
as if it were the cursor. It's a work around.

This is something I did as a test when RR was first release and was 
lost several computers ago, but I'll try to recreate it.

Douglas,
I tried a year ago to make a nice Mickey hand cursor 16x16 but
- colored cursors didn't seem supported
- colors didn't dispay correctly
- transparency masks not supported on non-bitmap images.
No one ever helped so Im stuck as you are...
I think there's a bugzilla for this too...
cheers

Try mousewithin
On mousemove is a better way to set a graphic to the mouseloc
but it sounds like mousewithin is what you need.

As a beginner I'm really finding this forum extremely
helpful. Perhaps
someone can help with this question:   Although the
instructions say
that a cursor
has to be in black and white and not larger than 16x16, I'm
wondering
if there
is a way around this.   Many games, for instance, have
large cursors,
e.g. a
large grasping hand when the cursor moves over an object
than can be
grasped.
I first thought that perhaps one could use a hidden image of a
grasping hand that was made to appear over the location of
the cursor
when the cursor passed over the object to be grasped, in a
script like
this:
on mouseEnter
set cursor to none
set lockcursor to true
set the loc of image "LargeHand" to the mouseloc end mouseEnter
on mouseLeave
set lockcursor to false
set cursor to arrow
hide image "LargeHand"
end mouseLeave
It would seem that this should work, but it doesn't, since the
"LargeHand"
image for some reason keeps flickering whenever the mouse
moves over
it.
Does anyone have any suggestion   as to how to get this method to
work, or
another method to allow for a larger, more elaborate
colored cursor?
Thanks.
