Can Revolution create a large, colored cursor?

[Douglas Westbrook]

this is a script in a transparent  control set to the top level

on mouseenter
   set the cursor to none
   show image "Any.gif"
end mouseenter


on mousewithin

   set the loc of image "Any.gif" to the mouseloc

end mousewithin
on mouseleave
   hide image "Any.gif"
   set the cursor to Arrow
end mouseleave
