I'm using co-ordinates to control a mouseUp command (below)

if the mousev > 510 and the mousev<530 then
if the mouseh>216 and the mouseh<272 then
left

What do i need to include from the Rollover Cursor change (library behaiour)
to make the cursor became a finger when it passes over the above co-ordinates ?

You can set the cursor that is used when the mouse is over a sprite like
this:

sprite(me.spriteNum).cursor=280

That is the finger pointer. Check out the help file for a list of all
of them. Anyway, set it to zero when you want it to have the standard
default one, and 280 when you want it to be the pointer (or other
numbers for other cursors as you like)

Addendum:
If you want to use your own graphics for a cursor, use cursor=200 in the
startMovie or something, then create a sprite of your graphic (don't forget
to move the regpoint in the Paint window to where you want your hot-point)
and either use the Sprite Track Mouse behavior from the library
(unneccesarily bulky) or script your own by using:

on exitFrame me
sprite(me.spriteNum).loc = the mouseLoc
end

Then you can change between different cursor graphics simply by changing the
member of that sprite.

addendum to the addendum:

you will have better luck using prepareFrame instead of exitFrame for
the custom cursor. If you have a complex scene, the cursor will "drag"
behind the actual mouse location if it is in exitFrame. It will be
placed better if you use prepareFrame.

Right, my bad. I was thinking that or enterFrame maybe. PrepareFrame
doesn't always work, I've found. Like, you can use it on a frame script,
but it doesn't necessarily do what you'd expect on a behavior. As always,
use trial and error to find the best way...
