Mouse.hide();

http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Animated-Custom-Cursor/29993

actionscript above removes mouse from screen. it was over movieclip every time u wanted to watch it. this way movie clip itself becomes the mouse cursor.

actionscript - finished...

onClipEvent (load) {

stop();

setProperty(this, _alpha, 50);

}


on (rollOver) {

play();

setProperty(this, _xscale, 170);

setProperty(this, _yscale, 170);

setProperty(this, _alpha, 100);

this.swapDepths(1000)
}

on (rollOut) {

stop();

setProperty(this, _alpha, 50);

setProperty(this, _xscale, 100);

setProperty(this, _yscale, 100);

}

Kurt Schwitters - dada artist
Kurt Schwitters is generally acknowledged as the twentieth century's greatest master of collage. Just as collage is essentially the medium of irony, so Schwitters' life is characterized by paradox and enigma . . . http://www.artchive.com/ftp_site.htmLooking at dadas work especially Kurt Schwitters work I was interested in his collage techniques and the way he built up his pieces with different images cut from magazine articles.

tweening with action script

tutorial i looked at to try create a more fluid transition between movie clips as they increase and decrease in size.

problem was it never worked - what i realised was tweening transitions can only be applyed to the whole stage and not to indevidulal movie clips.
