Greenhorn Question

[dunbarx at aol.com]

All answers are spot on.  Greenhorns welcome.


The cursor is temporary, and reset to whatever the default is at idle time. This will be virtually instantaneous if you are simple navigating around the card in browse mode. Try this in a button:


on mouseUp
  set the cursor to hand
  wait until the mouseClick
end mouseUp


Now move around the card at will, and when you get tired of that, click somewhere.


The difference is that the engine is in thrall to the "wait" command, and idle time has not resumed.

As Peter has mentioned... something like this will work.

on mouseEnter
    set the lockCursor to true
    set the cursor to hand
end mouseEnter

on mouseLeave
    set the lockCursor to false
end mouseLeave

Kind Regards,
