Hi,

In the Developers section of the Economy-x-Talk homepage (see below), you will find a collection of cursors by Stephen Goldberg. This collection optionally includes a standalone with information about making cursors.

Best regards,

Mark

If your looking for free programs; open source would be the best beat; such as The Gimp (photoshop type app), Pencil (animation tool with vector and bitmap tools), Inkscape (Illustrator like), Pixen (bitmap pixel art tool)

Thanks very much, now i will go to that site and see and i look for that free programs....thanks....a lot...

Good Easter....

Lestroso......

hy..... i have found the stack custom cursors in the site http://economy-x-talk.com , just now........


i saw that i have to save the image cursor in png, but jaqueline of revolution support told me that in 2.8 ide you must save as gif, because when you made custom cursor and export in windows xp, your application quit unexpected.....cause an error and quit....

now i have to try this fact........

bye... lestroso

Here the solution........


Custom Cursors in Revolution:

1) Open" Photoshop or Gimp".

2) Set mode to "rgb color", "Background Transparent"," width and height to 16 pixels".

3) Change Mode to "Indexed Color", then set to "Exact", "Forced Web", "Trasparency checked" and "Matte to None".

4)Set the view to 400%, then use pencil with color web setted and choose black and white color only!!!!!

Rember color cursors don't work well on revolution........

5)Then Name and save all as PNG....

6) Import in the stack the cursor in the image library .

7)To use your cursor in the script write like this......:

On mouseup

set lockcursor to true

set the cursor to 1100 (Place the number the same of your cursor as you see in your library image)

end mouseup


The cursor will work fine in Mac Os x and Windows xp or Vista...
Personally i have tested my cursors with 2.8 revolution (build 370) in mac os x and in simulation on windows xp (OK!!!!)

Have fun!!!!
