There are some “buttons” on my movie clip I wish to hide the cursor as mouse is dragged onto them ; They´re not working like buttons but sensible areas ;
There are other buttons on the scene which will work as navigation buttons.
I´ve tried Mouse.hide(); command and I´ve got a message error because something else is missing.
Well any help will be regarded;
Thanks

if that code is on a button you’ll need something like this:
on (rollOver, dragOver) {
Mouse.hide();
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut, dragOut) {
Mouse.show();
}

Hi Jeremy ,
that works , thanks !
I had an alternative idea to change the mouse cursor by something else , let´s say , my own created movie clip or a graphic symbol , no matter;
I´ve seen a tut somewhere but I can´t find it now.
Could you please give me a hint ?
Thank you once again.
cheers

ok, if you already have the mouse hidden and you’re using your own custom mouse cursor you probably want to do something like this:
