Pretty simple. This is just one way fo doing it. First thing i thought of.

Create a movie clip of an arrow fading in then fading out. Use linkage in the library so that action script can use the movie clip. Give an ID name, arrow for example.

Then use a bit of action script to place the arrow at the mouse pointers location and play it. Either by attachMovieClip or duplicateMovieClip.

Try takinga mouse trail tutorial then try the effect yourself, if you still need help then come back and ask.

Regards,  
Viru.
