This is my first post, so Hello to everybody.  
And my first question is … well, very simple.  
I was playing with senocular’s example how to use MOUSE\_LEAVE.  
The custom cursor should disappear when the mouse leaves the stage.  
But it doesn’t. It seems that the function cursorHide is never called.

```
    public function cursorHide(evt:Event):void {
        cursor.visible = false;

        trace ("hide");

```

}  
gives no output.
