[FMX] Mouse related questions

hi, since im an action script n00b, can u answer these questions 2.

no.1 question: When u make a trailer for ur mouse and u want it on ur site for the entire page, do u have to create a HUGE movie or is there another way of doing it??

no.2 question:same thing but with custom cursors

;):goatee: :alien: im an alien to AS :alien:

to make a mousetrailer you can either use duplicateMovieClip() or attachMovie(). see the attachment. for a mouse cursor just use startDrag()

yea, i know that, but how would i get a mouse trailer and a custom cursor to stay on the site, without having to make a HUGE movie and build the site inside it??? :alien:

what do you mean by HUGE movie? Just make a movie with the cursor thing and use loadMovie to load another movie.
Or you might make the cursor thing on the site movie also. Same difference:)

no im not talking about moving it to another movie, im saying a custom cursor on a site :):wink:

a mouse cursor or trailer in Flash will only exist within the stage of your Flash movie itself and not beyond that. So if your movie is 400x400 your mouse trailer will only exist within that 400x400 box in the web-browser and not the whole page. Alternatively,you can do a mouse trailer in html if you want. Or just make the movie fill the browser window which is usually no big deal

and how do u do a mouse trailer in HTML???

im alright with HTML and i know the basics. just not really advanced coding like mouse trailers. :):wink:
