Its easy, just put this on the movie clip you want to be the mouse icon :

onClipEvent (load) {
Mouse.hide();
startDrag ("", true);
} Regards

From the MacroMedia Action Script reference guide (page 80)

Create a movie clip to use as a custom cursor

Select it on the stage

Choose Window Actions

In the Toolbox list, select Objects, then Mouse, and drag "hide" to the script window.

onClipEvent(load){
Mouse.hide();
}

In the Toolbox List, select Actions, then drag "startDrag"
to the script window.

Select the "Lock Mouse to Center" box

Script should look like
OnClipEvent(load){
Mouse.hide();
startDrag("this", true);
}

Test your movie.
Note: its a good idea to put your custom cursor on the top layer so it passed over other objects.

if you want to make sure that it's on top of absolutely everything then just add

    swapDepths(14999);

to the above load script
