So the instructions for creating an animated sprite in Easyptr are correct, but it is not too obvious that they can only be used as mouse pointers. I suppose it may be this way in case the pointer environment ever handles animated objects as well as mouse pointers (Easyptr can only do what PE can manage after all).
As you say, only mouse pointers can be animated, loose item objects and info onjects using animated sprites only display the first frame of the animated sprite. It is still great fun to make a mouse pointer that changes colour all the time, for example! -- Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.soft.net.uk/dj/index.html
