I need to use a custom cursor. I am doing so by simply hiding the cursor and having a small MC follow the mouse around with a setInterval. I need to make sure the cursor stays at the highest level. The stage is blank and all content is loaded using script. I was just setting up the cursor at the end of the script and using getNextHighestDepth. That was working fine, but now I need to load external stuff into the movie. How can I set up my cursor so that it will stay above all the other clips, regardless of when they are loaded?
