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

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:) ---

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 ---
