use a do loop

example:

+ Code Snippet

hide mouse
load image "yourimagehere.bmp",1
do
   sprite 1,mousex(),mousey(),1
loop

make sure that you hide the mouse... and for your sprite... make sure that the last number is equal to your image number

Why do they turn against me? Especially when i need them the most?

Ric has a code for a animated cursor. Best thing is, no media needed!

+ Code Snippet

position mouse 100,100
sync on

load dll "user32.dll",1
file$="C:WINDOWSCursorswagtail.ani"
newcursor=call dll(1,"LoadCursorFromFileA",file$)
oldcursor=call dll (1,"SetCursor",newcursor)
cursor=newcursor

do
call dll 1,"SetCursor",cursor
if spacekey()=1 and keydown=0 and cursor=newcursor then cursor=oldcursor:keydown=1
if spacekey()=1 and keydown=0 and cursor=oldcursor then cursor=newcursor:keydown=1
if spacekey()=0 then keydown=0
sync
loop

edit

ress spacebar to toggle between the cursors
