Mouse cursor movieclip blocking mouse

Hello,

I have a movieclip that is following my mouse cursor around. The Cursor itself is set to invisible. My problem is that sometimes the mouse goes over this movieclip, blocking the events underneath briefly. This causes pop up boxes and animations to flicker/restart.

Is there anyway I can set the movieclip to be ‘invisible’ to the actionscript (I still want it to be actually visible, but see through for events if you get me).

I really appreciate any help!
