I much prefer never to lock the cursor -- it tends to stay locked at odd
moments. Instead try setting "the defaultcursor."
The problem of your cursor changes not happening as expected probably comes
down to where the script is -- it may not be in the message path for some
reason, maybe you are trapping mousemove in some individual controls, etc. One
approach is to use a frontscript:
Put these in the script of card 1 of your standalone main stack
on openstack
insert the script of btn "myFrontScript" of stack "someStack" into front
pass openstack
end openstack
/*
If you're working in the IDE, you might want to put this in the same place, so
the frontscript down't persist when you move on to other projects:
on closestack
remove the script of btn "myFrontScript" of stack "someStack" from front
pass closestack
end closestack
*/
Script of btn "myFrontScript":
on mousemove
if "button" is word 1 of the target then
set the defaultcursor to hand
else
set the defaultcursor to empty
end if
pass mousemove -- important!
end mousemove
