Hi Joe,
Instead of playing with cursors just show an animated gif during your
loading loop.
on mouseUp
set the visible of image id 1019 to true // set to your image id (initially
hidden)
// demo loading start
repeat with tVarNum = 0 to 5
put tVarNum into fld FldCount
wait 0
I'm just fooling around with trying out an animated cursor, and I
can't get it to work. I tried importing an animated GIF then setting
the cursor to it, but I only get what looks like an opaque white mask
of the first frame of the GIF and no animation. Do I conclude that I
have to cycle

I'm not sure exactly what's going on behind the scenes with the
'busy' cursor. I got curious and looked into it. The cursor icons
are in a stack called revCursors for Windows and *nix, and a
stack called revMacCursors for Mac OS. They're just image objects.
I would think

So it seems like you could just set the cursor to the image id of

does seem that setting a cursor to an animated GIF ought to work out of
the box the way setting a button icon to an animated GIF does But if
there's a workaround for cursors I'd settle for that for now.
I don't think animated cursors are

Not sure who began this thread, but I have a 'running cheetah' using
sequential frames if anyone wants to play with it. Not rocket science and
not a cursor, but does show how smooth the engine is!
pls apply off list.

Hello Joe,
This isn't more colorful but Shao Sean's great ssMacExternal gives you access
to built-in OSX cursors including the animated counting hand cursor.

Mark, I understand what you're saying, but when my application starts up it

Joe,
I'd use a spinning daisy cursor. See http://ajaxload.info/ for a slick utility
that will generate a custom animated gif for you.

Hi all,
Instead of the b/w cursor busy, I'd love to use the more colorful

Jim Hurley kindly noted a misspelling in one of my example handlers.

set the startValue of sb progress to 0
set the endValue of sb progress to pMax
set the thumbpos of sb progress to 0
