custom cursor html5 canvas remove arrow when button on stage

Question

Hello great minds,I'm updating an old actionscript project to html5 canvas.The project has a custom cursor with a button with an over state.Once there is a button on the stage, the updated code: stage.canvas.style.cursor = "none"; stops working and the arrow shows.I can remove the hand when the cursor is over the button by adding: this.button1.cursor = "none";But the arrow remains on the rest of the stage.If I use a movie clip instead of a button I still need: stage.enableMouseOver(10); for the mouse over statewhich brings the arrow back. Adding: this.stage.cursor = "none"; removes the arrow when hovering over the button but not on the rest of the stage.I'm wondering if there is a solution to this.To replicate the original flash I need a mouse over state on either a button or a movie clip.

you're not understanding something basic. i'm not sure what that is, but with a movieclip, add a this.stop() to its first frame (labelled "up") and then create your "over" (and if you want "down") frames.

if _cursor is your custom cursor, you can then use:

var pt;

stage.enableMouseOver(10);
this._cursor.cursor = "none"
stage.addEventListener("stagemousemove",moveF.bind(this));
