Re: FLASH: Control how mousepointer looks

[Samir Thaker]

check out www.flashlite.net   they have instructions there on how to modify

many of the attributes of an swf file that are supposed to be uneditable

(this is done by editing certain aspects of the actual swf code using a

program called, i think, eXescope). it may or may not be illegal to do this

(that is, it might violate the macromedia license agreement), but it does

offer some greater flexibility. i think you can find it under the section

called 'flash for cd's' on the site.
