Mouse and creating instances

Tume91 Nov 22, 2006 11:10 AM

I have learnt much about objects and classes lately. Well I would like to know how I can create symbol 'target''s instance in somewhere in stage with AS? Like target instance x100,y100. Can I create it like normal objects and give parameters?
And another question, how I can replace mouse cursor to custom image? Thanks.

1. use the linkage id of your movieclip and the attachMovie() method of movieclips.

2. use the Mouse.hide() method and create a custom image movieclip and a loop that continually sets your movieclip's _x and _y properties to match the _xmouse and _ymouse properties.

if the mc is already defined, you can use duplicateMovieClip(), or attachMovieClip().

duplicateMovieClip(target:String, newname:String, depth:Number) : Void
