I am trying to build this effect on [http://www.marvyndt.com/v2/](http://www.marvyndt.com/v2/) in his port. The mouse changes into a custom curser then moves back where the mouse is?

any ideas??

Thanks;)

well, i think but im not sure about this is that he first hid the curso then had a movieclip move from the cursor’s position to the destination then made it go back to the original position of the cursor then unhid the cursor.

sort of like:

- Mouse.hide();

- function to move from cursor’s original position

- function to move back to cursor’s original position

- Mouse.show();

i’d like to hear other “theories”…'coz im not really sure about this and im kinda curious 'coz its cool…

yeah definately…  
cuz you can still see the mouse-overs of the menu buttons when you move over them with your ‘real’ cursor, while the ‘fake’ cursor is visible & doing his thing…
