You have to do it with a plugin. And it is quite perfect.

You hide the mouse and then use an enter frame listener to set the cursor to the mouseX and mouseY.

The problem is that the cursor's placement is controlled by host operating system, which almost certainly has a higher frame rate than FPP in Flash, and therefore the custom cursor's position may not get updated particularly frequently causing to stick and jump.

Entirely your decision: to change or not to change. For someone maybe it is so important to have a different cursor image that it is worth the disadvantages, but probably for most people the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
