I know I can hide the mouse and show it if I want to, I also know I can tack its position, but my question is:

Can I snap the mouse cursor to a button in Flash like IE does if you turn the snap to buttons option on?

or

Can I restrict the area within a movie that the mouse can move?

I dont want to hide the cursor if I can avoid it.
