Hello,

The scripts themselves work on their own, but when I tried to apply this to a current project, it caused the frames to jump all over the place and I get a massive amount of errors that say the same thing.

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.

How do I fix this?

Very good tutorials, Thanks. But I am looking for a code to change the cursor when the Mouse is down.

Where the author says: and set the class to “com.asgamer.cursor.Cursor.”

Do not add the final period. I was getting a : Error #1065: Variable is not defined, until I removed it.

And how can I change the displayed custom cursor in several states, like Mouse_Down and Mouse_Over?

Have you considered using the function startdrag() instead of creating a MOUSE_MOVE event listener? I would like to hear your opinion about this (if its better or worse). Thanks for all your great tutorials =)

Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful.
However I noticed some things that could be added to improve this. Use the MOUSE_LEAVE event to remove the child when you leave the stage, and hide the mouse when you right click, and if a movieclip is added to the stage it will cover up the mouse.
Just some suggestions, great tutorial btw!
