Re: [Flashcoders] AS3: custom cursor

[Geografiek]

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

Out of curiosity and frivolity, did you try to set your listener

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?

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

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,
Willem van den Goorbergh
