Well, I replaced my cursor with a sprite, the only problem is that it is always behind my menu sprites. This is the order in which I load them and draw them to the screen:



As far as my knowlege goes, the last called sprite command is the one rendered on top, and I think I use my cursor at the last but of every command.

Hope you guys can help me.

Well yeah, but when I put the cursor at 2 and the rest at 1 it is still behind the other sprites.

I could never get dbSetSpritePriority to work it may be broken. Though come to think of it i always did it at the beginning it may work at the end of the loop after all the sprites are already created.

I solved the problem by simply putting the cursor code (or whatever images you want in front) after the rest of them in your loop.

So create your cursor last and display it last. It will now showup before everything else.

Well, I am loading it last, and showing it last. Its just that it is still behind my other sprites. Isn't there a command like sprite to front or something so that it is always infront of other sprites?

Have you tried just recreating the sprite instead of pasting it?
Just a thought.

Thanks, that did it. But isn't that a bit slow or something, and do I need to delete te sprite to remake it?

I haven't tested speeds of pasting compared to recreating but in my experience it doesn't seem any slower and I've never suffer fps loss due to it.
I don't think you need to delete it first, it may make it slower or it may make it faster, I will do some tests for you later on and report back
