Hi guys, I’m running into a problem where for my current project I need to use a large custom mouse for interaction throughout a website. The custom mouse (a movieclip) works fine until the user needs to select a option from a ComboBox.

The custom mouse clicks the component fine but once the ComboBox expands with it’s options the custom mouse appears behind the expanded list.

Is there anything I can do to get this to work? I’d really rather not create a ‘custom’ comboBox for this project as the material was already prepared and set in stone.

any help will be much apprecitated! 🙂

ps:: i found this information below, but it was for AS3 and I need AS2 and in any case didn’t do anything for my movie when i tried it.

myCursor.mouseEnabled = false;
myCursor.mouseChildren = false;
