How does it works to make a "cursor change" at a "mouse over" - especially at a "main" location?

I thought he was asking to change the cursor, too (ResEdit would be one answer). But I think he is asking for a "rollover" graphic. Good question!
There's a way of faking it by using a Map location instead of a main -- make a very, very fast, invisible, player animation (have to jigger player speed, too), then place Events on the map that trigger a Stamp Control action. Thus; you click the cursor, the invisible "cursor helper" runs over there, at the border of the graphic she runs over an Event link and the graphic changes.
I need to look at the CD and deconstruct Cosmic Memory; is my guess they used similar tricks.

changing the cursor is a system toolbox call, i don't believe there's a way to just straight hack the cursor with ResEdit, but then again i could be wrong.

I agree, I think that changing the cursor based on position or context is a toolbox call, but perhaps there is a way to change the cursor as a one time change. It may not change throughout the game, but could be different in the game than in the Finder...
A cool resource for ResEdit hacks is (url="http://"http://www.resexcellence.com/")http://www.resexcellence.com/(/url)
I don't know if the tips on the site can be implemented in Coldstone, but it's worth looking at for the educational value.-chuck

One-time change is as far as my muddled thinking went. I hadn't read the post when I thunk it! And, yes, if the application uses specialized cursors, you can edit away at the resources in ResEdit...ver. 2.1.3 even opens them up in a really really cute 'lil paint program for you!
Thanks for the URL...I'm heading over there now.
