I came out with a work-around to the limited cursor problem... refresh rates can be a bear, but it works great otherwise :)

You need two things: a blank cursor, and the image you want your 'cursor' to be.

1. Drag a new canvas/image holder into the area
2. Change the background to your image
3. From within the window/object you want the cursor to display, code the mouse cursor change to be the invisible cursor - the blank cursor.
4. Also, script out some code that captures your mouse's X-Y coords and then forces the image to match the mouse's.

I have a blank cursor for free use by anyone at my website...
The two pertinant files I have are listed below for download and are made available free for public & commercial use :^)
