Haxe Forum > Flash(10.2) native mouse cursor bug

• Thomas Hortobagyi Apr 30 at 23:27

  I wanted to use some bitmap for native mouse cursor in flash (it's a 10.2 feature), but the flash.ui.Mouse lib is not correct even in r3793 version.
  Compared with Adobe's documentation there are 2 differences:

  1. Mouse.cursor's type is not MouseCursor, instead of String. But in Haxe this is not a good solution, because we need both of them, to switch to native cursor (String) and switch back to windows cursor (MouseCursor). So I use now like Dynamic, and it works both way. (I don't know how can I set a variable into two types.)

  2. Mouse.registerCursor function needs two parameters: (name:String, cursor:MouseCursorData) and not one.

  So here is the corrected Mouse.hx:
  

  package flash.ui;
  
  extern class Mouse {
      @:require(flash10) static var cursor : Dynamic;
      @:require(flash10_1) static var supportsCursor(default,null) : Bool;
      static function hide() : Void;
      @:require(flash10_2) static function registerCursor(name : String, cursor : flash.ui.MouseCursorData) : Void;
      static function show() : Void;
  }

  thanks for this code snippet, implementing native cursors (haxe r3794)

  slould mention that flash9/ui/MouseCursorData.hx also should be changed as MouseCursorData() takes no params:
  so this line should be replaced

  function new(name : String) : Void;

  with

  function new() : Void;
