I'm not sure if anyone else responded to this, but I had a similar problem and I thought the only workaround was setting the mouse picture for every element that handled rollover etc. (since if you set it for the parent, it removes all the mouse functions for it's children) .
The easy way for me was that I created a cursor component, and then I gotoAndPlay (actually just have external helper functions tied to it) the frame that has the correct cursor. One of those functions can just hide the cursor and show the mouse again - to have a normal mouse. I've also noticed that sometimes the rollout event is not always called (fast mouse movement etc) - And the window they rolled over doesn't handle the custom mouse - so onRollOver isn't going to help. I run the entire cursor icon through a interval hooked into mouse move, and when the mouse doesn't move for a certain time, it just disappears. - another way to perform this is by using a hittest every so often etc. There are many ways to perform this task, but I've never found something that could be self-contained. The main problem I had was the ability to control the mouse over a parent and still let the children receive mouse events. (without creating some elaborate event system) Hope this helps..
