[Xerte] Re: Remove Custom Cursor Outside of SWF

[Fay Cross]

I have just got a custom cursor to work ok using this script in the swf, although I did have it on the main timeline so I'm not sure if this would mean you'd have to rewrite much else...


this._lockroot = true;

var cursor = _root.attachMovie("cursor_mc", "cursor_mc", 0);

onEnterFrame = function() {
                if (this._xmouse < 0 || this._xmouse > 550 || this._ymouse < 0 || this._ymouse > 400) {
                                Mouse.show();
                                cursor._visible = false;
                } else {
                                Mouse.hide();
                                cursor._x = this._xmouse;
                                cursor._y = this._ymouse;
                                cursor._visible = true;
                }
}



Hope this helps
Fay

I tried putting it in the onClipEvent on the custom cursor and also just stuck it on the timeline (oops....with no event).  Neither had any effect.  When the mouse is moved outside of the stage and onto the Xerte page it disappears and it is impossible to navigate the Xerte.

What event triggers this?

if (custom_cursor_mc._x>+530 || custom_cursor_mc._x<0) {
Mouse.show();
custom_cursor_mc.stopDrag();
//remove custom cursor
custom_cursor_mc.swapDepths(custom_cursor_mc._parent.getNextHighestDepth());
custom_cursor_mc.removeMovieClip();}
