Awesome I have been trying to figure this out, I had it all worked out except the mouse would grab the far right side of the movie clip, which sucked....

From a few things I picked up around the forums I came up with a easy way to set the borders by borrowing from the original poster's script. The borders I used are for an odd sized flash though:

onClipEvent (load) { // movie clip is on current frame
Mouse.hide(); // hides the cursor
startDrag(this, true, 100, 100, 550, 360); // mouse drags this object, specifies borders
}

Thanks for the post!

How do you get a cursor that stays for the whole flash.

k after some testing i found this code

onClipEvent(enterFrame){ Mouse.hide();
this._x = _root._xmouse
this._y = _root._ymouse
updateAfterEvent ()
}

this is the best code also since when u right click it will still be the custom cursor not the real one also if you set the FPS to 30 it will be very smooth

ill give you a ten because you let me give you a zero!, My only friend the end,

Or you could make it universal (go look in the constants menu of AS2.)

No offence, but games using that code cause irritating cursor flashing (particularly with Firefox) when the browser's not in focus. The movement of cursor to mouse should happen onMouseMove, not onEnterFrame, to save CPU, and the Mouse.hide() should only be run once in a while, not on every frame, to get rid of the original cursor in case someone right-clicks etc.

Something like this is better (untested)

onClipEvent(load){
	cnt=0;targ=100;Mouse.hide();
}
onClipEvent(mouseMove){
	cnt++;if(cnt>targ){cnt=0;Mouse.hide();}
	_x=_root._xmouse;
	_y=_root._ymouse;
}
