Hey, I just wonderd how you can make a custom cursor for the mouse? And hopw to make it change to different cursor types for button, sliders, scroller etc… if you know what i mean. Like when on a button, a hand is used, on a scroller a hand with two arrows are used. Thanks for all the help, fatnslow ---

well, a hand cursor is the default for a button anyway so you are covered there (unless you want a different looking hand). as for the custom cursor, i would say you should use attachMovie to load an image onto the mouse coordinates. then you could use hitTest to see where the mouse is located and if it is in the same area as your desired elements, then it should load a different image. ---
