Cursors

[flashster]

How do I set the cursor to a pointing finger?


I notice that the documentation specifies certain cursors - i.e.' cursor 4'
changes it to an hour glass, but I need to use a finger (or even some of the
other director built in cursors like the question mark, etc).

(This is for the windows platform.)

I just did this last week--I ended up drawing my own 1-bit pointing
finger cursor.

If somebody doesn't have a better solution, I'd be happy to send it to you.

property spriteNum

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

on endSprite
sprite(spriteNum).cursor= -1
end endSprite

Thanks Andrew I'll try that.

Is there a list somewhere of the each cursor and the number associated with
them?

Hi,

Check out the TechNote below for a chart of available cursors that you can
use for Mac and Windows:

"Setting the cursor"

Hope this helps.

Thanks Gren,

This should definately be added to the Director documentation (in my humble
oppinion).

Thanks! Why is this in a Tech Note, and not in the product
documentation? It would have saved me an afternoon.
