I came out with a work-around to the limited cursor problem... refresh rates 
can be a bear, but it works great otherwise :)

You need two things:  a blank cursor, and the image you want your 'cursor' to 
be.

1.  Drag a new canvas/image holder into the area
2.  Change the background to your image
3.  From within the window/object you want the cursor to display, code the 
mouse cursor change to be the invisible cursor - the blank cursor.
4.  Also, script out some code that captures your mouse's X-Y coords and then 
forces the image to match the mouse's.

I have a blank cursor for free use by anyone at my website...
The two pertinant files I have are listed below for download and are made 
available free for public & commercial use :^)
