How to have different mouse cursor on MOUSE_DOWN in as3? - actionscript-3

Question

I'm new to as3 and I need to do a very simple thing. I have following code and it works pretty well. But what I need and can't figure out how to do it is:
change mouse cursor when I hold mouse button (choose from symbols)
ability to move with it (normally it would disappear when I move with mouse)
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
var CursorStill: Sprite;
var CursorAnim: Sprite;
function init() {
Mouse.hide();
CursorStill = new CursorStillClass();
CursorStill.mouseEnabled = false;
CursorStill.visible = false;
addChild(CursorStill);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, mouseLeaveHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
}
function mouseMoveHandler(evt: MouseEvent): void {
CursorStill.visible = true;
CursorStill.x = evt.stageX;
CursorStill.y = evt.stageY;
evt.updateAfterEvent();
}
function mouseLeaveHandler(evt: Event): void {
CursorStill.visible = false;
}
function mouseDownHandler (evt: MouseEvent): void {
CursorStill.visible = false;
}
init();

a friend of mine helped me and i figured it out. i hope it will help other newbies at least :)
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.motion.MotionEvent;
function init() {
Mouse.hide();
// this creates an instance of the library MovieClip with the
// name, "MyCursorClass". this contains your mouse cursor art
//
Cursor = new CursorClass();
Cursor.mouseEnabled = false;
Cursor.visible = false;
// you'll want to make sure the child is added above everything
// else, possibly in its own container
//
addChild(Cursor);
// respond to mouse move events
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, mouseLeaveHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
}
function mouseMoveHandler(evt: MouseEvent): void {
// whenever the mouse moves, place the cursor in the same spot
Cursor.visible = true;
Cursor.x = evt.stageX;
Cursor.y = evt.stageY;
// for smoother mouse pointer
evt.updateAfterEvent();
}
function mouseLeaveHandler(evt: Event): void {
Cursor.visible = false;
}
function mouseDownHandler(evt: MouseEvent): void {
Cursor.gotoAndStop(xx);
}
function mouseUpHandler(evt: MouseEvent): void {
Cursor.gotoAndStop(xx);
}
init();
