masking problem

[dBS]

Hey guys,


heres the problem im working on. I have a layer(graphic) which gets "erased"(coved up) by clicking and holding down the mouse.

and I have a custom mouse cursor.

The problem is when you "erase" it creates a mask which also covers the custom mouse cursor.

Everything is perfect except i want the mouse cursor to not be affected by the mask or have it be above the mask which is created.

Anyone know how to fix it? I cant seem to figure it out.

Thanks!

L = {};
L.onMouseMove = function() {
        My_mc._x = _xmouse;
        My_mc._y = _ymouse;
        
        updateAfterEvent();
};
Mouse.hide();
Mouse.addListener(L);



paint_mode = "erase";
i = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (pr) {
        if (paint_mode == "paint") {
            this["mc"+i].lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
        } else {
            m = this["mc"+i];
            n = random(10000);
            m.attachMovie("dot", "dot"+n, n);
            m["dot"+n]._x = _xmouse;
            m["dot"+n]._y = _ymouse;
        }
    }
};
this.onMouseDown = function() {
    i+=2;
    pr = true;
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc"+i, i);
    this["mc"+i].lineStyle(10, 0xFFFFFF, 100);
    this["mc"+i].moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
    if (paint_mode == "erase") {
        attachMovie("pic", "pic"+i, i+1);
        this["pic"+i].setMask(this["mc"+i]);
    }
};
this.onMouseUp = function() {
    pr = false;
};
b_paint.onRelease = function() {
    paint_mode = "paint";
};
b_erase.onRelease = function() {
    paint_mode = "erase";
};
