After testing what I *thought* to be true...
I answered my own question.
Peter,
if you are going to use sprite(spritenum).cursor,
use it in the beginSprite handler (WITH the "me")
there is no need to repeatedly set the property in the mouseEnter handler
property spr,spritenum
on beginSprite me
spr=sprite(spritenum)
spr.cursor=280
end
