Hi there!

In my application, i have custom graphic cursor. I use Mouse.hide() ‘onMouseMove’ ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/798/c985a958819d8917.gif). There are some special cases though, when the default mouse cursor is still visible. Like for example when:  
(1) rolling over an input texfield  
(2) rolling over a link: \<a event:blabla\>link\</a\>  
…in html-formatted textField.

The latter is worst. Is there a way to hide the default mouse cursor in these cases? I haven’t found any so far…

Cheers!
