#MOVED - [ problem ] - 2 cursors and subapps

[integrality]

(topic posted in wrong section, moved here)

problematic!

when there are 2 different cursors in their own frames they dont work in their fields when theres a subapp, see by yourselves in the attached example

(purpose - different cursors in gamefield and menus, and different cursor frames in the gamefield)

I guess its related to how the cursor works etc

any alternative solution?

ps - when removing the cursor object in frame 1

cursor of frame 2 will be displayed while clicking even when the mouse is outside subapp field

There is no easy way to deal with the cursor object over subapps. A tip to minimize conflicts is using a Cursor object with a behaviour "Always change cursor to Global String XXX".
- the cursor object with the behaviour because that way you just have to erase/copy/paste over frames a single object if you have to make changes
- the Global String because sooner or later you will have to deal with events/conditions over frames and a string is easier to remember

Example: SubAppCursor modified

It would be fine to have an enhanced Cursor Object to avoid those conflicts.

many thanks for the example
