Hi Richmond,
How about:
on mouseEnter
set the lockCursor to true
set the cursor to 1005 -- your image id
end mouseEnter
on mouseLeave
set the lockCursor to false
set the cursor to arrow
end mouseLeave
Best regards,

Best to not lock and unlock the cursor but rather use:
set the defaultcursor to 1005
on mousemove (occasionally with rapid mouse movement the mousenter
message doesn't fire off)
and then
set the defaultcursor to empty
on mouseleave
I used to lock the cursor then unlock it, but then sometimes the
cursor stays locked and it's very annoying to the user.
Can you use any png for a cursor? or are there constraints? I know
that if you want transparency you need a png with alpha channel -- a
jpg will give you an opaque square with your cursor inside it. I seem
to remember having to do some tricks with the png image before trying
to use it as a cursor....
