FLASH: Flash 5 action script ref.guide: an error?

[Guido Pesaresi]

I report page 81 of the action script ref.guide, downloaded from the

macromedia official site:

TO CREATE A CUSTOM CURSOR:


1 Create a movie clip to use as a custom cursor.


2 Select the movie clip instance on the Stage.


3 Choose Window > Actions to open the Object Actions panel.


4 In the Toolbox list, select Objects, then select Mouse, and drag hide to

the

Script window.


The code should look like this:



onClipEvent(load){

Mouse.hide();

}



5 In the Toolbox list, select Actions; then drag startDrag to the Script

window.


6 Select the Lock Mouse to Center box.


The code should look like this:



onClipEvent(load){

Mouse.hide()

startDrag("this",true);

}



7 Choose Control > Test Movie to use the custom cursor.


Buttons will still function when you use a custom cursor. It�s a good idea

to put

the custom cursor on the top layer of the Timeline so that it moves in front

of

buttons and other objects as you move the mouse in the movie.

For more information about the methods of the Mouse object, see their

entries in

Chapter 7, �ActionScript Dictionary.�

it doesn't work!


i've applied the script to the frame of the instance and it does work.

not satisfied i've tried to modify the script:


onClipEvent(load){

Mouse.hide()

startDrag("../this",true);

}


(i've added ../)


AND IT DOES WORK!


It is possible that is an error of the guide?


thanks and regards
