as an update to this:

if i write a category to NSCursor, which returns the arrowpointer cursor for for every cursor that is requested, i can force the arrowpointer throughout.

except for the flash, which still changes the cursor. which says to me that whatever mechanism NSCursor uses is being bypassed by the flash plugin.

can anybody point me in the right direction for this. i dont mind for now if i can just stop the cursor changing at all, and just force the arrow pointer throughout. i also dont mind for now if i am just changing the global cursor, as this is for a kiosk where it'll be the only app running.

the universal access tool in system preferences can do this, it can change the cursor system wide to a new size. any ideas how it manages this, or am i looking in the wrong place?

hope somebody can help.

thanks, joe.

hi list,

ive got a cocoa app where im embedding a flash movie into a webview. sometimes there is more than 1 flash movie embedded.

the flash hijacks the application cursor. i need to stop this happening, it's flickering between different cursors like crazy.

so i figure i'll write a category for cocoa to keep everything under control. but then i remember that i'm too much of a n00b to be able to accomplish this.

so, does anybody nave any idea how i could go about this, i.e. every time a request is made to change the cursor, i pass it through a set of tests to decide wether it can or cannot change.

ive writen a category for NSCursor that has an instance method called set, which logs out when a request to set the cursor has been made, and i can see this gets called every time there is a cursor flash, but im not sure how to stop the cursor actually being set until i am ready.

or is there a better way to do this.

hope somebody can help,

cheers, joe.
