Mouse flicker outside of browser

Question

Hello
Whenever I hide the mouse pointer to replace it with custom made graphic, it causes curors to flicker rapdily outside of the browser window.
When you type or move across URL bar, or try to scale the browser window by dragging its corner, the mouse pointer goes crazy.
I use:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, myFunction);
function myFunction(e:Event):void {
if(myMc.visible == true){
                Mouse.hide();
} else {
                Mouse.show();
Any idea what could cause it and how to get rid of it? It's driving me crazy. I tried to search the forum but I end up with 2001 posts, not related to my issue.
Usually basic button HIT area.
Any feedback, greatly appreciated
cheers

A quick solution I guess would be to draw a large graphic the size of the stage in a background layer, make it invisible, and give it an instance name backgroundStage.
I'm by no means an expert, but this seems workable.
import flash.events.Event;
backgroundStage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, changeCursor);
function changeCursor(e:Event):void{
Mouse.hide();
//your custom cursor here;
