[maxmsp] two pointers

yes I tried with hi object, but the problem is like this:

i have two mouses and I take the acceleration of both independent.

I move the picture inside the window (cursor picture) -  like this  
you can have two "picture cursor" one picture for one mouse

but in the same time you have the real cursor on the screen.....  
which is moving too, and when you click - you click somewhere whith  
this cursor too.....

it's mean - if you wont use hi object you need to "switch off" the  
real cursor...... and it's impossible.....
