You can just make a sprite to hold the cursor's bitmap using something similar to:

my_bitmap = Bitmap.new(250, 250)my_sprite = Sprite.newmy_sprite.bitmap = my_bitmapmy_bitmap is a blank, 250x250 canvas.

For animating the cursor, just change the sprite's opacity and other properties in a loop.

 HO I forgot to say my Command are in Sprite~

well, if your commands are already sprites, and therefore already separate images, just do the same for the cursor and have some properties change over time for the cursor. The most common changes would either be the opacity changing, similar to how the default window animation is, or moving the cursor from side to side by changing x (and sometimes y) values.

So I create a class like my command right? (if I really understand)

Spoiler

 class Title_Command < Sprite  include Hero_Principal      #┌────────────────────────────────────────┐#│      ● initialize                      │                                                          #└────────────────────────────────────────┘  def initialize(viewport = nil,index)   super(viewport)      @hero = "Hero_"      @index = index      @float = [0,0,0]      self.bitmap = Cache.title(@hero + "Com" + "_" + index.to_s)      self.ox = self.bitmap.width / 2      self.oy = self.bitmap.height / 2      self.x = Command_Position[0] + (Command_Distance * @index)      self.y = Command_Position[1] + (Command_Space * @index)      self.z = 11       end  #┌────────────────────────────────────────┐#│      ● Dispose Sprites                 │                                                          #└────────────────────────────────────────┘  def dispose_sprites      self.bitmap.dispose  end  #┌────────────────────────────────────────┐#│      ● Update Sprites                  │                                                          #└────────────────────────────────────────┘  def update_sprites(index,active)         if index == @index         self.opacity += 10       else         self.opacity -= 10 if self.opacity > 120          @float = [0,0,0]     end    end             end

You don't need to create a whole class for a cursor, you just need to edit the title scene's class to have the cursor.
