replace mouse cursor with image

Hi i have this code which allows me to replace the mouse cursor with an image but i would also like to change the image when the mouse is clicked down using a different image. the code i am using for just replacing the mouse cursor is:

Mouse.hide();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,follo w);
function follow(evt:MouseEvent){
hover1_mc.x = mouseX;
hover1_mc.y = mouseY;
}

i tried using a different code which i found but it failed to work with my project can anyone help me please

On a mouse click you load a different image into hover1_mc.

how would i do that sorry if im asking an obvious question

Youfirst create a Loader object and add it to the MovieClip.

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
hover1_mc.addChild(myLoader);

Then you create a stage eventlistener for the mouse click and load the image into the loader randomly.

stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,loadImage);
function loadImage (evt:MouseEvent)
{
var myURLs:Array = new Array("img1.jpg","img2.jpg");
var ranImg:int = Math.random() * 2;
myLoader.load (new URLRequest(myURLs[ranImg]));
}

that didnt work:(

Create a fla and Movieclip in the library. The id of the clip is holder and the class is Holder. Then put this script in the actions of the main timeline. Do not place the Movieclip on stage. Replace the urls with urls of your own images.

import flash.display.MovieClip;

var hover1_mc:MovieClip = new Holder();
addChild (hover1_mc);
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
hover1_mc.addChild (myLoader);
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("noimage.jpg"));
stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,loadImage);
function loadImage (evt:MouseEvent)
{
var myURLs:Array = new Array("kayokitty.png","noimage.jpg");
var ranImg:int = Math.random() * 2;
myLoader.load (new URLRequest(myURLs[ranImg]));
}

Mouse.hide ();
stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,follow);
function follow (evt:MouseEvent)
{
hover1_mc.x = mouseX;
hover1_mc.y = mouseY;
}

this code makes both images appear at the same time side by side :S

this is how i have edited the code:

Actionscript Code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;

var hover1_mc:MovieClip = new Holder();
addChild (hover1_mc);
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
hover1_mc.addChild (myLoader);
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("hover.png"));
stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,loadImage);
function loadImage (evt:MouseEvent)
{
var myURLs:Array = new Array("click.png","hover.png");
var ranImg:int = Math.random() * 2;
myLoader.load (new URLRequest(myURLs[ranImg]));
}

Mouse.hide ();
stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,follow);
function follow (evt:MouseEvent)
{
hover1_mc.x = mouseX;
hover1_mc.y = mouseY;
}

The path to your image is not correct.

i was getting an error saying that before then i made sure both of my images were on mydesktop where the swf and fla files are.

Place fla and images into a folder and try again and make sure the location of the swf is in the same place.
