K, I’m sure it’s gotta be easy but my attempts are failing… could be since it’s monday end of day and i’m fried. Anyway, I have some movieclips (face1,face2, etc) acting as buttons. I also have a custom cursor with an up state, and a down state. I’d like to have the default cursor remain in use for the entire movie except for when a user interacts with the “face” movieclips.  
Anyone got an example? Or an idea? I’d post what I had but I’ve been chopping it up so much it wouldn’t even be relevant.  
Thanks 🍺

eh, here’s my code anywho…all it’s doing at this point is replacing the default cursor for everything:

```auto

cursor_mc.swapDepths(1000);
startDrag ("cursor_mc", true);
Mouse.hide();
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
	_root.cursor_mc.gotoAndPlay("down");
}

_root.onMouseUp = function(){
	_root.cursor_mc.gotoAndPlay("up");
}

```
