I think adding some attributes to the resource tag is the way to go. Ideally, the hot spot could be any shape, but a rectangle may be enough for now. You may want to add height and width attributes also...

I'm working on http://openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-8372. One of the issues we have is that there's no way to specify the offset ( 'hotspot' ) of a cursor asset
which is not a .swf file.

What would be the best way to do this?

I was thinking maybe we should add a new optional attribute for <resource> which is "offsetx" and "offsety", and
then the cursor resources could be declared that way

<resource name="crosshair" src="cursor_crosshair.png" offsetx="8" offsety="8"/>

or else maybe we make a special <cursor> tag which the LPS compiler converts into a resource
table entry?

Any thoughts on this?
