Question

I have a custom cursor and I want it to change when you highlight a MovieClip, and return to its default value when the MovieClip is not highlighted anymore.

I’ve used MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, and MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT. The result isn’t very smooth and there is a small delay to when the cursor changes. Also sometimes if you move the mouse fast enough the cursor won’t change at all.

What are the alternatives to these MouseEvents?

Answer 1

You can have an Event.ENTER_FRAME handler that does a hit test (can probably use hitTestPoint w/ the mouse x/y) on your MoveClip that changes the cursor.
