Richard.
See the lockCursor global property.
Nope. See the attached stack. I cannot use the "lock cursor" property at all. As far as I can tell, the only way to hide a cursor is to:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the defaultCursor to hand --or arrow, and nothing else
   set the  cursor to none
end mouseUp
Add a "lock cursor" to the above handler at your peril.
