need MC to disappear on rollout

Yap. You can't activate stopDrag triggering the cursor_mc. Draw a rectangle as big as the stage (same dimensions), with no border and set the fill any color with alpha 0%. Center it to the stage. Name it let's say over_mc.

cursor_mc._visible = false;

over_mc.onRollOver = function() {
Mouse.hide;
cursor_mc._visible = true;
cursor_mc.startDrag();
};

over_mc.onRollOut = function() {
Mouse.show;
cursor_mc._visible = false;
cursor_mc.stopDrag();
};


There are plenty of ways to do it. This is one. Depdends on what do you need it for. This might not be a good solutions for your problem. As i said: depends on what do you need it for.

If cursor_mc is the custom cursor I don't believe you can detect a rollout while you are still dragging it.
Try adding a trace here and see if it is printing.

cursor_mc.onRollOut= function() {
//add trace here
trace("this is roll out");
this.stopDrag();
if (this.hitTest(_root)) {
this._alpha = 0;
}
};

If this is the problem put your hit test inside of a onMouseMove

Hope this helps

Anyone else know a remedy to this issue?

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your help.

I just tried it, but it didnt work. :-\

Heres the error I got;

cursor_mc.onRollOut= function() {

Im not sure if this is completely correct.... but it is something you could try...

It uses the Tween Class in Flash to alpha fade your stuff

HTH,
