I didn't get any lag.

I didn't get an lag either, but try putting this on the custom cursor

Code:

---

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
        _x += _xmouse;
        _y += _ymouse;
        updateAfterEvent();
        Mouse.hide();
}

---

Also, if you have the default 12fps set, up it to 24fps.

That smoothes it out.

I can see what you are getting at from your link - you'll find 24fps much better.

oh thanx thats exactly what i wanted ive got another queston...say if the cursor is used on a sidebar.... and you move the mouse off the sidebar is there any way so that when you move the mouse off the side bar the cursor fades out and when you put the mouse back on, the cursor fades back?

I don't think there is (or can't think of) a built-in way in Flash 5, but one way around it would be to have an invisible button slightly smaller than the movie area.

Use 'on rollout' and 'on rollover' actions to tell the custom cursor movie clip to goto and play the fade in and fade out parts that you put in it.

OMG i love you. I just look this up because i haven't been using my custom cursor since (it is laggy) and i thought to try and find a solution, and this works!!! thaaaaaaaaaaanks!

Code:

---

updateAfterEvent();

---

is AS3

I'm not sure it's providing anything at all as it works without it, but what do I know.

Also you only need to hide the mouse once, not every time the mouse moves, but again what do I know.

Wrong, rynoe, updateAfterEvent is available in AS2 as well :p

It forces the MouseMove function to render as fast as the mouse moves regardless of the framerate. Omitting it will make it look laggy, especially if the framerate is 12

we are both wrong
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

Futher investigation sais it was acually as1!
Actually kinda interesting as it fires independent the fps..

only works on mouse and gesture events.

Oh, haha :p

well ... my reply was in 2002 :)
