Karim, Try adding the following line of code to your MOUSE_MOVE event listener function: stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren); Of course, you must substitute your custom cursor's instance name for 'customCursor'. HTH Regards, -Keith http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net

Perfect - thank you ! it seems a little odd that the ComboBox adds the List to the stage and not one of its own children. Maybe memory/resource managment. h. On 12 Nov 2008, at 16:26, Keith Reinfeld wrote: Karim, Try adding the following line of code to your MOUSE_MOVE event
