Sorry for the cross-posting, but this article applies to all three groups.
I found several CURS (cursor) resources in the SuperCard application that
represent different positions in the rotation of Earth; when shown in sequence,
they turn the cursor into a spinning globe (instead of a spinning watch or
beach ball).
I thought this was rather neat, so I used ResEdit to copy the resources to my
Finder, renumber them, and put them in place of the Finder's spinning watch.
I made sure the resource ID's of the cursors matched their references in the
'acur' (animated cursor) resource.
Now, when the Finder in supposed to display the spinning watch (which I changed
to the globe), the cursor turns into garbage (random bit patterns).
What must I do to change the stopwatch into the globe?
Then, I went into the HyperCard application's resources (again with ResEdit)
to look for the beach ball cursors, in the hopes I could change them to
the globe, at least. They weren't there! Aren't cursors supposed to be
stored in resources? If so, why can't I find them in HyperCard? How can I
access my spinning globe from HyperCard?
It shouldn't be this difficult!
Help!
