Hey all,

Very much in need of some help.

In a project i’m doing I have a custom cursor, using the start drag command and mouse.hide. the issue being that the movieclip being dragged is blocking the mouse from initiation mouse events properly.

I’ve been struggling with this for the better part of the day, and google hasn’t been very helpful.

any advice?
