Hi

I’ve got an swf which loads into my main movie and fills half the screen. In the loaded swf the cursor is redrawn.

The problem is: when the swf is loaded the cursor stays redrawn outside the boundaries of the loaded swf, ie on my main movie, which looks crap. If I mask the loaded swf I end up with no cursor at all outside the loaded swf.

I should also mention the loaded swf is actionScript2, (using mouse.hide) while the main movie is actionScript3.

Is there any code I can use in my main movie to stop this?

Thanks for looking …
