Question

I made a custom cursor -as a hammer and want to run an animation when I click the button. When the user clicks any buttons, hammer will hit(hammer) the button. I used 2 key frames in Cursor() class to make hammer animation and use several ways to implement it in my program -like gotoAndStop(), play() etc. But nothing works…

So, if you show me a way to solve this problem, I’ll be very appreciated.
Here is my code:

var menuCursor:MovieClip = new Cursor();
Mouse.hide();
menuCursor.mouseEnabled = false;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, cursorMenuMove);
menuCursor.gotoAndStop(1);
function cursorMenuMove(event:Event )
{
    menuCursor.x = mouseX;
    menuCursor.y = mouseY;
}

.
.
.

howToImageOn.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, run1HowTo );

.
.
.

function run1HowTo( event:MouseEvent )
{
       menuCursor.gotoAndStop(2);
   //    or   menuCursor.play();
    whackSound.play(0,1);
    menuMusicChannel.stop();
    howToImageOn.removeEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, howTo1Out );
    playImageOff.removeEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, play1Over );
    creditsImageOff.removeEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, credits1Over );
    removeChild( playImageOff );
    removeChild(howToImageOn);
    removeChild( creditsImageOff);
    removeChild( menuCursor );
    gotoAndStop( "HowToPlay" );
}

I solved the problem using this code:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, down);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, up);

function down(e:MouseEvent){
    menuCursor.gotoAndStop(2);
}

function up(e:MouseEvent){
    menuCursor.gotoAndStop(1);
}
