"set cursor to none" does not work. Here's an idea. Make a hidden button called "OKtoHide." Put this in the script of your card (or stack): on mousestilldown if the highlight of btn "OKtoHide" is true then set cursor to "none" end mousedown When you are doing the drag where you want the cursor to be hidden toggle the highlight of the "OKtoHide" button: ... set the highlight of btn "OKtoHide" to true drag .... set the highlight of btn "OKtoHide" to false ...
