Hi, is there a way to change an arrow cursor to an hourglass and back through script? The triggers are events in the script rather than mouse move/over etc. Thanks.

Make an empty frame that covers the page. Set the cursor for that frame to the hourglass and set it's properties to stop mouse clicks passing through. Make it initially hidden and move it to the top of your page ordering. Simply show and hide the frame from your script whenever you need to display the hourglass.

A work around i did to hide / show the cursor through script was the next:

I created a 'variable changed' trigger on a master page. Within that trigger there is an If statement on the publication variable showCursor. If showCursor is 1, the the action is Show Cursor, if 0 the action is Hide Cursor.

This way, if i change the variable changeCursor in the script, i can control my cursor. Maybe you use this method for changing the cursor.
