You want to create advanced presentation or shooter game? Need a cursor in the shape of target or you simply tired of dull default cursors? No problem! With this easy tutorial you will be able to change the cursor in your flash presentations to anything you want.

1. Launch Flash MX 2004

2. Create new Flash file. Click File > New...

3. Select Flash Document in a new window

4. Create 2 blank layers. Name them "Hide cursor" and "Custom Cursor".

5. Select the "Pen Tool" (picture 1). With this tool in the "Custom Cursor" layer create a shape, similar to the one you may see in the picture 2. This shape will be our future customized cursor.

6. Convert this shape to movie clip. Select this clip and add the following action script to the action panel:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
startDrag(this, true)
}
