Step 1: Download Editor

I use realworld cursormaker because its the only free one I could find without viruses

Step 2: Setup and Open

setup and open the application

Step 3: Make Animation

put frames in, just like a regular animation, move or change the image bit by bit to create desired effect. you can put the "hotspot" in a different place that the default 0,0. the hotspot is where on the mouse will "click" when you push the button.

*sorry i can't show what tool to use to change hotspot right now, my computer is acting up.*

Step 4: Save

Save it as a .ANI file not .CUR. if you save as .CUR, then it will use only the first frame of the animation, not all of them.

Step 5: An Example

you can download this and save it wherever.
