i’m using a different mouse cursor for a flash menu (rest of site is html)

I’ve got the graphic I want following the mouse around as the new mouse icon/pointer but now I want it, IF you should leave the flash menu area the mouse icon goes to frame 2 and plays (the animation is of the mouse icon dissappearing)

then when the user comes back to the flash area the mouse icon returns.

please post the script as I am not a programmer.

PS this is what I have so far on my mousemovieclip:

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
 this.startDrag(true);
 Mouse.hide();
 
this.swapDepths(6);
 
}

```

I’m using swapdepths 6 because I have buttons that swap depths under my mouse icon from 1 to 2.
