Cursor

First follow this tutorial…

Then just add this action into the mix…

Mouse.hide();

Voila, instant mouse cursor change.

You can go one step further and make custom mouseover cursors.

Just use the

this.useHandCursor = false;

To get rid of the annoying hand cursor, then add add a “telltarget” statement to gotoAndStop on Frame 2 of your cursor movie clip (which will be your mouseover image).

Altogether it will look something like this…

on (rollOver) {
this.useHandCursor = false;
_root.mouseCursor.gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.mouseCursor.gotoAndStop(1);
}

Where mouseCursor is the instance name of your movie clip for a cursor. I actually didn’t test this, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
