I´ve made a custom mouse cursor but the cliente wants that little hand when the mouse is over a button and/or links. Is that possible?

what about something like this felipegm:

custom\_cursor.\_visible = false;  
button.onRollOver = function () {  
this.onEnterFrame = function () {   
Mouse.hide();  
updateAfterEvent();  
custom\_cursor.\_x = \_xmouse;  
custom\_cursor.\_y = \_ymouse;  
custom\_cursor.\_visible = true;

}  
}

button.onRollOut = function () {  
Mouse.show();  
custom\_cursor.\_visible = false;  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}
