Hey everyone !  
Hope you’re having a great weekend -  
I seem to have got stuck on a tutorial i’ve been working with…  
I’m quite comfortable with hiding the mouse cursor and putting a movie clip in it’s place - although the trouble starts when I try to tell it to load another movie when the mouse is clicked - then once realeased going back to the original movie clip !

Is there anyway to do this or is it a lost cause ?

I have attached a FLA i’ve been working with - this is what i’m aiming for without the hotspot\_mc - I would like the mouse to work the same across the whole page and be able to click on buttons etc, like a normal mouse click would !

Many thanks to all !
