Thanks again Cedric,
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, redrawCursor, false);
didn't make any difference.
The custom cursor is an mc made up of shapes plus 1 child mc, called
'backDrop'.
backDrop in turn contains a child called 'backDropVis' + a
transparent shape to define the outer boundaries of the custom cursor.
But then again:
_customCursor.mouseEnabled and customCursor.mouseChildren both trace
'false'.
backDrop.visible = false
and shapes don't intercept events, do they?
I did a test with a custom cursor that contained nothing but a shape -
> same result.
I have no clue what's causing this.

I would say 'yes'. What type of graphic is your custom cursor
symbol (Does it have some transparent background ?)
Out of curiosity and frivolity, did you try to set your listener
only during the target and bubbling phases (instead of capture) ?
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, redrawCursor, false);
?

Thanks Cedric but that doesn't help.
Only if I get the custom cursor really out of the way (say 15 px
or so) the underlying button receives the event.
_customCursor.mouseEnabled and customCursor.mouseChildren both
trace 'false'.
Shouldn't this this prevent the custom cursor from intercepting
the event?
Pulling my hair,

Hello Willem,
I never done Custom cursors in AS3, but did you look at
<http://www.ultrashock.com/#/asset/37933/customcursor/>
<http://www.eclips3media.com/workshop/2007/12/11/custom-cursor-

?
It seems offsetting x and y by 1 pixel is helpful :S
HTH,

Hi list,
I posted the following question a few days ago on Flash Tiger
but got no response there.
Anybody here knows?
I have an mc attached to the mouse as a custom cursor.
Somehow I'm not able to click on buttons etc. in this setup
anymore.
It seems as if the display items under the cursor do not recieve
moude events anymore because the custom cursor is intercepting
the clicks, although I set both _customCursor.mouseEnabled and
_customCursor.mouseChildren to false.
When I offset the _customCursor slightly from the actual
event.stageX and event.stageY position all works well.
What am I missing?
Here's the code:
//customCursor is called in mouseUp functions of individual tools
private function customCursor(event:MouseEvent):void {
Mouse.hide();
for(var kwik:uint = 0 ; kwik < _lengthAll ; kwik++) {
if(_allToolsArray[kwik].name != event.target.name)
//do nothing for the moment
} else if(_allToolsArray[kwik].name == event.target.name) {
_customCursor = _allToolsArray[kwik];
_customCursor.mouseEnabled = false;
_customCursor.mouseChildren = false;
_customCursor.backDrop.visible = false;
addChild(_customCursor);
stage.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,redrawCursor);
_customCursor.visible = true;
} else {
trace("Clip to drag not found: " + _customCursor.name);
}
}
}
//redrawCursor is called by customCursor
private function redrawCursor(event:MouseEvent):void {
_customCursor.x = event.stageX+0;
_customCursor.y = event.stageY-0;
}
thanks,
