I don't think animated cursors are supported. I believe the new
color cursor feature just translates standard image formats to the
very specific requirements that cursors have in LiveCode. We used to
have to do some of that ourselves, only with more limitations on
color depth. Gifs for sure won't work, because they will get
translated to the engine's internal format, so they are no longer
gifs any more. Or, that's my take on it anyway.
Sounds as if cursors are intrinsically more difficult than button
images. But it would be a great enhancement if LiveCode could fully
implement animated cursors sometime.
