I have a file set up so that a custom cursor appears several frames into the scene. I then have buttons appearing, each one pointing to an external file (using the loadmovie script). My problem is that I can't get the buttons to work with the custom cursor. If I turn the custom cursor off, everything works fine. I'm using actionscript 2.0 in CS3.

So I need a workaround so that when the custom cursor appears, I can use it to rollover a button and then click on it and for it to work.

Thanks in advance for any help
PROBLEM SOLVED:

This is because the custom cursor overlaps the actual point of contact between the mouse and your buttons.

Your cursor position relative to the mouse is (0,0)

I suggest you position the custom cursor to (1,1), by doing this, the mouse function should be able to detect the mouse click by giving it a little gap. Thats the trick.

Hope it helps.
