Don't see why not, as long as you don't have any effects or cacheAsBitmap being applied to the entire MovieClip.
Re your mouse show/hide thing - don't think it should cause a problem, but if it _does_: you are calling mouse show() or hide() every frame, but you could simply set a flag - is the mouse already invisible? If so, don't call Mouse.hide() again... is the mouse already visible? If so, don't call Mouse.show() again. (typed quickly on way out of house so may not make sense!) Hope you get somewhere with it.
