Creating Sprites and Pointer Cursors

This topic describes the steps for creating a sprite.

When an application wants to use a sprite, it typically carries out the following steps:

• Construct an RWsSprite

• Construct the required number of sprite members with bitmaps, bitmap masks, and time intervals

• Add the sprite members to the sprite using RWsSpriteBase::AppendMember()

• Activate the sprite using RWsSpriteBase::Activate().

The sprite's position can be changed after the sprite has been activated using RWsSprite::SetPosition(). The sprite's appearance can also be changed, using RWsSpriteBase::UpdateMember().

The procedure for creating a pointer cursor is similar, except that an RWsPointerCursor is constructed instead of an RWsSprite.
