How to prevent that?
I am using a flash swf from the website[url]...where it allows me to upload images via an xml file to the flash movie. However the flash movie is changing the mouse cursor to hand-cursor when passing the mouse on it, and also it is allowing users to click on the movie, while I wanted to leave the mouse cursor to remain as an arrow, and prevent users from clicking on it, I tried the following code, whereby I used another flash movie to call the dewslider swf, but in IE it is not working, although in firefox it is ok..[code]...

View 1 RepliesAs of Flash 10.2, Flash supports hardware accelerated mouse cursors:[URL]..Unfortunately, the mouse cursor doesn't update until AFTER the mouse moves. You can see this behavior on the web page above. If you click "Set to custom cursor" in the sample app at the bottom of the article, you'll see that the cursor doesn't change until you move the mouse.
Anyone have a trick for updating the mouse cursor immediately, before the user moves the mouse? I tried doing Mouse.hide(); Mouse.show(); but that doesn't work.
I'm making a drawing application, everythings looks and works ok, except for one thing...My mouse cursor is hidden and a paintbrush like cursor follows it. This cursor is a movieclip, because the user chooses a color, and the tip of this paintbrush changes to the selected color.But there's one problem... when I draw to the left the line is drawed with no problem, but when I draw to the right, the line is interrupted, and I don't understand why.I made one experiment, and with no movieclip "attached" to the mouse cursor, the line is drawed with no problem, both to the right and left.

I'm using Windows 7, Flash CS5, Flash Player 9, ActionScript 3.0 I created a slideshow with links on a few of the slides. My problem is that the Hand Cursor doesn't always appear on the slide with a link, and sometimes appears on a slide without a link. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's the code I have in one of the slides with a link that doesn't show the hand cursor:
[Code]...
Here's the slideshow on my client's website:[URL] You'll see that the 1st slide should have a hand cursor since it has a link to it. The second slide (beading 101 ad) has a hand cursor but shouldn't since there's no code on it - no url on this one.

Is there any way to increase the sensitive area to the whole screen without increasing the actual size of the movie?

View 6 RepliesI have a dynamic text field which loads html. In the html there are links at various points. In the file I am using a custom cursor whenever the mouse is over the swf. The issue is that despite my setting Mouse.hide(), in Windows (FF and IE) the standard hand cursor shows over the top of my custom cursor when I hover over one of the links.
I know that the htmlText field only supports CSS1, so using any reference to the mouse in the CSS is futile. Additionally, due to the nature of the html going into the text field, I can never rightly guess where a link would physically be to set up some sort of work around. In all of my research, the only references to the problem refer to the Mac FF and Safari having bugs that prevent the hand cursor from being shown (to me this is counter intuitive, it seems that when Mouse.hide() is enacted that none of the system cursors should show, no?).
In my project I have 14 buttons which are added by adding the background image their in. So I have a var bg which i addChild(bg) thus also adding 14 buttons.
their listeners are set to Mouse.event CLICK, and they work fine unless i add a custom cursor then their dont work any more.
how to take the cursor that is in the Follow Mouse tutorial and animate it on click? I have found many eamples of a custon cursor but was having trouble animating the cursor when the user clicks on a button or movieclip.

I dont really want to create a custom cursor.
Ok so in it's simplest form, i just want to be able to click anywhere in the movie and have a movie clip show up (or duplicate from the library then show) at the exact point where you click, an example for use might be a bullet hole or a stamp tool.
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a way to simulate a mouse hover/mouse click. What's happening is a bar is autoscrolling and checking to see if there is an active button 'below' it. Sort of like a bar rolling along a music staff and checking for notes.
What can I use to accomplish this?
How would you replace the mouse cursor in ActionScript 3? I mean with like a movie clip or a graphic within Flash.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to change mouse cursor from code?For example i have a text field and when people put mouse cursor on it i want it to show the hand not the standart text cursor.There seems to be many tutorials on how to make custom cursors. However I wanted to know are there any default curors to choose from (for example do i have to create my own zoom in curosor?) and most importantly what clases or functions do that.
View 3 RepliesI am attempting to use custom cursors with AS3. I created a movie object that i position using:
function mouseMoved(event:MouseEvent) {
mousePointer.x = this.mouseX;
mousePointer.y = this.mouseY;
}
and calling Mouse.hide()
This works fine in that the custom cursor follows the mouse, but I am having troubles using events with the cursor. I have several click events on several buttons. The events do not trigger when using the custom cursor. In my ignorance I would imagine the problem is that the custom cursor movieclip is on top of the button, and so click events are only generated for it, and not the button.
I'm making a Myst clone and want the cursor to do different things when it mouses over various objects and regions, for instance:
- Turns into an open hand when over a grabbable item.
- Turns into a right-facing arrow when on the right side of the screen signifying "turn right here".
- Turns into an icon of an inventory object when the object is selected.
How is this done? I found some code that sort of did it, but it was sloppy, the cursor flickered like crazy, and overall it sucked. I want to harness in Flash the same mechanism that makes my cursor turn into the bracket thing when it's over a text field, or a finger when over a link.ALSO I want to be able to make the arrow stay a regular arrow when it's over manipulatable items I want to remain secret.
