Can anyone help me figure out how to disable the mouse (completely erasing the cursor from the screen), and then enable it again (bringing the cursor back)? Here’s and example of what I’m trying to do:

Mouse.hide() does not need to be inside an onEnterFrame, executing it once will do 🙂

Just place Mouse.hide(); on the frame.
