in the past i've put a timer on the custom cursor (had to create a fake mouse pointer because the real one was hidden by the app it was embedded in, long story) that hides it after it stops moving for x seconds...
it's not the cleanest thing in the world, but it got the job done. it also might be fun to play around with putting an onMouseOver / onMouseOut on the div or object/embed tag the flash movie is in, then using ExternalInterface or the JS integration kit to send a signal to the Flash movie to hide the mouse... but that one may be a long shot because of how all the different browsers handle plugins. (they might not all honor mouse events like that when a plugin is involved) JesterXL wrote: > Not in a web browser, no. Mouse.hide relies on the SWF boundary.
