A couple of comments.
First, use names, not numbers to refer to cast members.
Second, use cursor of sprite instead of the cursor command.
Third, did you mean to say that you you want to use a cursor that is
in an external cast (not an internal cast)?
Here's a behavior to do this (untested):
property spriteNum
property pCursorList
on beginSprite me
-- do this once
cursorMemberNumber = member("WhateverCursorName", "CursorCastlibName").number
cursorMaskNumber = cursorMemberNumber + 1 -- assuming its the next
one in the castlib
pCursorList = [pCursorMemberNumber, cursorMaskNumber]
end
on mouseEnter me
sprite(spriteNum).cursor = pCursorList
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(spriteNum).cursor = 0
end
