Heya peepz.
Have a look at the "Legend of Nawak" game in the arcade, and you can see the the little orange pointer follows the mouse, even when the mouse is outside the playing area. How can I replicate this? Preferably without any extensions, as I'd like to use flash. 
Thank ahead.

It looks like Legend of Nawak sets the pointer X and Y to the mouse pointer's X and Y, with a few conditions after that to set the pointer's X or Y to the window edge if it goes outside.
Try this.The order of events is important, below:
1. Always | Set X("Active") to XMouse, Set Y("Active") to YMouse
2. X("Active") > 640 | Set X("Active") to 640
3. X("Active") < 0 | Set X("Active") to 0
4. Y("Active") > 480 | Set Y("Active") to 480
5. Y("Active") < 0 | Set Y("Active") to 0

You can do this slightly neater in one event with by always setting the X of the active to:
max(X left frame,min(Xmouse,X right frame)) and the y to max(Y top frame,min(YMouse,Y bottom frame))
This means that it'll stay in the bounds of the visible screen area even with large scrollable levels
