This tutorial will teach you how to create a custom curser for your flash movie. Here we will be using movieclip symbol and little bit of actionscript to develop custom cursor. The .fla download file is included at the end of the tutorial
Please note:
1. You need to have Flash Player 7.0 installed to view the Flash animation.
2. Flash MX 2004 must be installed in your system to download the .fla file.
To learn a new thing always becomes easier after you know how to start it, therefore the idea and the concept of this tutorial is set up to help you study the Flash ActionScript on your own, and further develop your project with your experience. This is not a literal theory style tutorial that tells how to make this and that with ActionScript, on the other hand, I wish this tutorial will help you knowing how to get easy with ActionScript, and think like ActionScript programmer.
I know this could be done far easier then I do it, but there is a lot of great reasons for doing it my way, we have all checks and movements in the enter_frame event, which makes sure that we can actually have two separate movements at once, so if you hold down left key and if we also could set it to jump, it will not jump straight up but up to the left.
