I am having the normal cursor to be replaced by an image. I did this by having a movie clip to startdrag when it loads. to prevent users from right clicking the movie to show the normal windows cursor, i had Mouse.hide() in the cursor image’s movieclip’s enterframe. the cursor did work properly.  
but when i have something which needs the cursor to drag, like a volume slider button, the cursor doesnt work.

i realise that if the slider button is too small, the image cursor could not drag it. after i enlarge the slider button a little more, the slider can be drag. however, when i am dragging, the image cursor will stop at the position and my cursor will disappear while the slider is dragged. after i release the slider, the cursor will continue to be hidden while the custom image of the cursor will stay at the position where i dragged the slider.

if i were to disable the custom cursor image, everything works perfectly fine. so how do i make it work properly even with the cursor as another image?

thanks 🙂
