MouseChunk with false cursor

[Lynch, Jonathan]

This is something I have also thought about...

An image can be set so that the transparent portion still receives a mouseclick - or it can be set so that the transparent portion does not receive the mouseclick, but instead passes it on to what lies underneath.

I have not tried this, but have considered having a cursor that is just a single dot, and programming for mousemove to always move the image to be located around that single dot, with a transparent dot for the image directly under the mouse-dot. 

This way, the click is passed through the image. It isn't perfect, because your hotspot on the image would always be the black (or white) dot from the cursor - but that shouldn't be too terrible.

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
