public class Mouse
extends Object

The Mouse class is a top-level class whose properties and methods you can access without using a constructor. You can use the methods of the Mouse class to hide and show the mouse pointer (cursor) in the SWF file. The mouse pointer is visible by default, but you can hide it and implement a custom pointer that you create using a movie clip .

A Flash application can only monitor mouse events that occur within its focus. A Flash application cannot detect mouse events in another application.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5

BrandStyler,

No, it is not possible to detect the scroll-wheel click.

Is there any way to tell the the cursor has changed from the default arrow state to the hand cursor?
For example to add a roll over function to an <a href> link.
