We were talking about how to make the cursor look like the pointed
finger when its over a button in a flash sprite. That's the most
common need for a special cursor within a specific area of a sprite.

Open the vector window and make a vector. Point at one of the
handles, the cursor inverts. Close the window with a keystroke. How
does the cursor look?
In the paint window, choose the select tool and get ready to select
something, but wait a moment while that e-mail arrives in the
background. After a moment of busy cursor, you're left with an arrow
instead of a cross. Or alternately, just switch to another program
and back again, you have an arrow instead of the cross.
Switch to Director from somewhere else, or perhaps just launch
Director by double-clicking on a movie file. Often you are left with
the busy cursor forever more.
In the paint window, move quickly from the content area to the window
title (an easier example is to move from the cast name at the top of
the paint window). Often you are left with the content area cursor.
Close a MIAW that has a QTVR object in it. Whenever you pass over the
area of the closed window that the vr is located, the cursor changes
to the vr control cursor.
I could go on. The point is that Director only sets the cursor if it
thinks that it has changed, and there are so many combinations where
the cursor has changed without Director realizing it.
