Hey, I know to most of you out there this is a really stupid and simple question, but i only learned it in 5 and now i want to do it in MX (im going to make a webpage and i’d rather do it in MX)  
All i want to do is to hide the cursor and make a movie clip follow the cursor, making it look like the move has its own cursor

example: [www.mapers.com](http://www.mapers.com)

can u help?

i made the same as described in the Flash MX Help section, open Flash MX, hit F1, choose Search and enter Cursor, and check the “creating custom cursor” tutorial, it worked great for me.

Put this in your MC or your mouse

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
    startDrag("", true);
    Mouse.hide();
}

```

Explaination

startdarg well its starts the darg DUH

Mous.hide() wel it hides the mouse.

The part were it says true means that it will lock your mouse to the center of the MC but no need for it since you hide it…I did it anyway because im to lazy to go back and fix it.
