Hiya, how about logging the _root._xmouse properties (AS2) or log the localX/ stageX properties of the MouseEvent class in AS3. The timer can be triggered by moving over a movieclip or by whatever then set the parameters of where your 'moving area' is to be on the stage or let the user

Thanks Cedric but that doesn't help. Only if I get the custom cursor really out of the way (say 15 px or so) the underlying button receives the event. _customCursor.mouseEnabled and customCursor.mouseChildren both trace 'false'. Shouldn't this this prevent the custom cursor from intercepting

Well, two transparent sprite are too little. You should create some 20 or even more of them. Position the vertically all over the stage at equal distances and every time the user passes his mouse over one of them it starts a timer. When it passes over the next it checks the timer time. So you'll
