Roger that - yeah swapping already created cursors will be my plan, then. Thanks.

I did try not defining the frame and still had the same issue but maybe I was still not using it correctly,  but just bringing it up just in case. Thanks for the swift responses as well.

Thanks for the response, I'll try to clarify my intent and some other things:

My goal was to have my cursor's 'image index' change based on certain ingame conditions. (mouse overing something, etc.). I had been previously accomplishing this with several different 1-frame cursors and then setting them to current. I wanted to rework how I did it and started trying to use native_cursor_set_frame and native_cursor_get_frame

• "native_cursor_get_frame is like image_index in GM - it can only be between 0 and count-1. And your cursor has a single frame."
  Yes, I operated under that assumption and my cursor (or at least the sprite it is created from) doesn't have a single frame, it has multiple, unless I misunderstand what native_cursor_create_from_sprite does.
  When I use native_cursor_create_from_sprite and set its frame argument to... 2, let's say, then it correctly displays the '3rd' image in the sprite.
  It then does NOT change when I then use native_cursor_set_frame and native_cursor_get_frame after creating it and setting it as current.
   
• I did not foresee that people would try to get frame of a non-current cursor so that’s not working right.
  Even if current (which I assume you mean after using native_cursor_set?) native_cursor_set_frame and native_cursor_get_frame do not behave correctly from what I can tell. get_frame is always zero for me, and set_frame doesn't change which frame is shown.
  
  Am I misunderstanding what any of these functions do? Hopefully I was clearer this time so if I misunderstood them you could at least see what I was thinking.
  I can easily go back to my original method and get the results I wanted I think, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't misunderstand these functions and let you know if it were the case that these weren't working properly.

Thanks for this extension. I'm having an issue with [native_cursor_set_frame] not setting the frame correctly of a cursor created with [native_cursor_create_from_sprite]. No matter if I call the [native_cursor_set_frame] function, it always stays on the frame that is set in the initial [native_cursor_create_from_sprite]. Some additional context, spr_cursor is a sprite with 4 frames. 

Just wanted to confirm as a bug or I'm doing something wrong. Thanks again!
