About animated color cursors

Director supports animated cursors. You can use any 8-bit bitmap source in your Director cast as an image in the cursor animation, automatically scale images, and generate masks for 16 x16 pixel and 32 x 32 pixel cursors. (Macintosh computers don't support 32 x 32 pixel cursors.)

An animated cursor consists of a series of bitmap cast members. Each bitmap cast member is a frame of the cursor. You can control the rate at which Director plays the frames of an animated cursor. Using the Cursor Properties Editor, you designate one or more bitmap cast members as frames of a single cursor cast member.
