**Any tips on building a better mouse cursor???**  
The basic implementations of a custom mouse cursors I’ve found to be incredibly unresponsive.

Does anyone out there have any tricks on how to structure the code so that a custom cursor actually updates its position in a more responsive manner?

**Code:**  
function CursorOn():void  
{  
Mouse.hide();  
Cursor.visible = true;  
Cursor.x = mouseX;  
Cursor.y = mouseY;  
Cursor.startDrag();  
Cursor.mouseEnabled = false;  
Cursor.mouseChildren = false;  
}
