Custom Cursor

[Ashley Hall]

Draw the shape you want as your cursor and select it. Now right click it and click on "convert to symbol". Name it whatever you like but make sure it's a movieclip.
Select the movieckip and press F9 to get the actions for it up (if they're not already) and copy this into them.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
startDrag (this,true);
Mouse.hide();
}
Alternatively, you could have this:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
Mouse.hide();
}

Now to break the code down
onClipEvent(enterFrame) - every frame that this clip is in
startDrag - Start Drag . Inside the brackets is - (target,lockcentre,left,top,right,bottom) now to break that down :
target - what you want to drag
lockcenter - true or false if you want to lock the cursor to the center of the movieclip
left top right bottom - the constraints, enter 0,0,300,300 for it to be bound 300 pixels from the top left corner

Mouse.hide(); - hide the mouse
this._x = _root._xmouse - the x coords of this movieclip are the same as the mouse's x coords.
this._y = _root._ymouse - same as above but y instead of x

FINISHED YAY! ^_^
