I wanted to create a cursor where the "hot spot" is not the upper-left corner
[like
http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/secure/attachment/10771/cursor_resize_x.png],
and I think I have found a workable solution to the problem illustrated here:
http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-2044
Using swfmill, I was able to place the cursor in a .swf at negative x and y
coordinates [sample swfmill .xml below], thus emulating the "registration
point" behavior of flash. I then used the resulting .swf as the cursor and it
worked beautifully.
