how do i create a thing where your mouse curser is shown you click on an object and your curser disapears and is replaced with the object you clicked on. then you can click on another object which is then replaced with that object.

I would place the hide.mouse() code into, the start drag of the object your are draging, & then once the drag has stoped you use the show.mouse(), I would use this action in a button, so they would be onPress, startDrag & hide.mouse() etc...

ok im still not sure how to this but i want to do somthing simerler.

what i want to do is when i click on an image i can drag the image and when i release the button i will stop draging the image.

i think i have an idea of how to do it somthing like onclip event mouse down start drag or somtyhing like that but im not sure.

it would be better for you to start & use a button. & you are right. but in the place you should place a name just click the check box to the right & enter the word "this" <-- just the word nothing elts... it should make the word turn blue...

still a little unsure what you mean by "name". do you mean an instance name? if so yeah it makes sense because it needs to know what its dragging but other wise i dont know what you mean.

also what advantage do you get from using a button from a movie clip? i spose its because you can controll how it is dragged like mouse over down and others is that right?
