MouseChunk with false cursor

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Mark,

Normal behaviour: the topmost object always gets the focus even if it  
is transparent...
Usually, we build cursors but, as you know it, there is a size  
limitation (16*16 pixels on Mac OS and 32*32 on other platforms)
If you want to use a png as a bigger cursor, just an idea, not tested  
and a bit dirty :-)
Use a pending message (has to be dug in):

on WhereAreWe
   global gPosArray
   -----
   lock screen
   hide img "MyCursor.png"
   if "field" is in the target then
     put the mouseChunk into gPosArray["chunk"]
     put the mouseText into gPosArray["text"]
     put the short name of the target into gPosArray["name"]
     etc. -- all you can need
   else delete global gPosArray
   show img "MyCursor.png"
   unlock screen
   AnalyseData -- another handler that will act according to the keys  
in gPosArray
   send "WhereAreWe" to me in 50 milliseconds
end WhereAreWe
