I will show you how to hide the mouse cursor and how to replace it by another image.
It’s really simple but you need one at least one MovieClip.

You also can download the source file: Hide_mouse_cursor_and_custom_cursor.fla.
- Create a new ActionScript 3 file.
- Insert > New Symbol > MovieClip > name: CustomCursor > Ok.
- Customize your cursor and set the origin on the top of the cursor.
- Back to your main stage.
- Add a CustomCursor MovieClip in the stage.
- Set the instance name in the MovieClip property: Click on the CustomCursor instance > Properties pannel > Set instance name: cursor
- Open the Actions pannel and start to code.
// https://www.benoitfreslon.com // Hide the mouse cursor Mouse.hide(); // Use the custom cursor // cursor is the instance name in the stage // Tip: Add the cursor always on top. stage.addChild(cursor); // Drag the cursor to the mouse coordinates cursor.startDrag(true); // Show the mouse cursor //Mouse.show();
That’s all :).
