Mouse.hide(), then the return value is 0. If the mouse pointer was visible before the call to
Mouse.hide(), then the return value is 1.
Example
The following code hides the standard mouse pointer, and sets the x and y positions of the
pointer_mc movie clip instance to the x and y pointer position. Create a movie clip and set its
Linkage identifier to
pointer_id. Add the following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the
Timeline:
// to use this script you need a symbol
// in your library with a Linkage Identifier of "pointer_id".
this.attachMovie("pointer_id", "pointer_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
Mouse.hide();
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
pointer_mc._x = _xmouse;
pointer_mc._y = _ymouse;
