http://asgamer.com/2009/quick-tips-as3-hidingshowing-the-mouse A good search will bring up a lot of details on this issue, including info on constructing your own custom cursors. Unfortunately, I have not really played with as3compile. I may need to, since a lot of things don't appear to work as expected when using version=9/10. ( you needs a better man/woman to advise.
