You’d have to create custom cursor to make that work, I think.

this works:
make a box or whatever shape your area is, and make it’s alpha “0”. make sure the box is a MC too. Then add this code to the box:
on(rollOver){
Mouse.hide();
}
on(rollOut){
Mouse.show();
}
Easy… as long as the alpha of the box is 0, u can’t see it! 🙂
no need for custom cursors here…
try it:

I’ve set the alpha to 5 so u can see the box…
