You'll need to create a movieclip that will be your custom cursor. Place the cursor to the stage and add the following code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    _x+=_root._xmouse;
    _y+=_root._ymouse;
}

Test your movie and your MC should follow the mouse around. One problem: the one cursor is still there. Add the following line to the first frame of your movie:

Mouse.hide();

That's it! You now have a have a custom cursor that will look really sweet. You'll want the frame rate of your movie to be at least 24-30 in order to get smooth movement. Mouse around below to see the effect:

Source .fla (Flash 8 format)

Please, correct the code for the cursor: onClipEvent(enterFrame){ _x+=_root._xmouse; _y+=_root._ymouse; } no pluses needed here, guys! It should go like this: onClipEvent(enterFrame){ _x=_root._xmouse; _y=_root._ymouse; }
