Hi guys, does anyone know how to decrease the speed of a mouse cursor on rollover of a specific area, Been trying to create the illusion of slowmotion without any real success, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,
as mouse-speed is an OS-setting you can't manipulate with Flash ther is no easy way.

You could try to simulate the effect, by hiding the Pointer onRolllOver and place a clip that looks like a pointer (OSX and Win cursors look slightly differen!) at the hidden mouse position minus some decreasing value.

A little trigonometry would be invovled, and when ever you have to switch back to the normal mouse functions a jump will occur, as you cannot manipulate the "real" mouse position.
