Custom Mouse pointer in Flash…

In this tutorial, I will explain how to make a pointer or scope that could possibly be used for a shooting or target game. As with many things in Flash, there are different ways to accomplish this, but I found this to be pretty straight forward and sim…

Hey hey Great tutorial thanks!

One suggestion, if you use…

_root.onMouseMove = function() {
pointer._x = _xmouse;
pointer._y = _ymouse;
}

then it will only update the custom curser when the users mouse is moved rather than using an onEnterFrame which is constantly updating, helps save some system processing

Thank you!!!
I had come across a lot of custom cursor scripts before that taught me to change the cursor…but then it wouldn’t drag other objects.
You’ve made this childishly simple.:lol:

Hi Victor,

I’d be happy to help you out, but not really sure what you’re trying to do, and what’s not working. If you can provide a better explanation of the problem, or send me the .fla (contact@spitshine-design.com), I’ll try to help you through it.

Hey Mike,
I ran across your site trying to figue out why my play button wouldnt reference a nested mc.
This tutorial caught my interest and I went thru it step by step. It didn’t work. Finally, after exhausting everything except deleting my movie clip of the mc_scope and replacing it with yours it worked. I suspect that this is the same problem I was having before I found your site. Do you have any idea what i may be doing wrong drawing my artwork then converting to movie clips? I’ve been trying to figure this crap out for a week now. I think I am doing everything correct so this is not much fun when all I want to do is see something move using action script.

Thanks,
Victor
