ActionScript 2.0 :: Hand Cursor Without Button - Tab Option
Oct 8, 2005
I'm working on some buttons that will act like normal buttons, but can't be highlighted using the TAB key. I can't stand that yellow border, and because I'm using so many masks, the TAB option would allow users to use buttons that aren't supposed to be there. So I've made a Movie Clip with an internal sort of hit area, and I'm trying to enable a Hand Cursor somehow. I've tried toying with Properties and such, playing with some scripts, and nothing yet. So far, if the Hand Cursor appears, TAB also works. I know I could just make a Movie Clip of the Hand Cursor and swap it in when the user rolls over the button. But I'd like to know if I could possibly avoid that.

I have added a button from the Components Menu. When I rollover the button, it changes color slightly but I would also like the cursor to turn to the traditional hand. I have tried buttonMode = true and that doesn't seem to work.

How do you use CSS to show the hand cursor when hovering over a button component in Flex? I am aware I can do useHandCursor="true", but I wanted a CSS solution so I don't have to copy and paste this a million times.

Code:
simpleButton.buttonMode=false
; is not working. I wonder if it is possible in as3. IN as2 it was quite simple.
Lot of people said use movieClip instead of simpleButton. But I badly need this on a button.

I am working with CS4 with AS 3. I have defined a MovieClip library symbol. I want the cursor to be hand when mouse is over it. The stage has a single instance of the symbol with the name "btn".
I tried the following in first frame of the symbol:this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,overHand);function overHand(e:MouseEvent):void { Mouse.cursor = "hand";}

I am using a Dewslider flash player to load flash animations on a webpage, but am getting the hand cursor appearing on the movie, while it should have been the normal mouse arrow.In reading some tutorials I tried using an empty flash movie to load the initial Dewslider but still having the hand cursor but now when reloading the page after visiting another page.
The code am using:
Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var dewsliderpath = _root._url.substring(0, _root._url.lastIndexOf("/")) + "/dewslider_ori.swf?xml=" + xml;
DewSlider.loadMovie(dewsliderpath);

I write the code:
myMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,myMcOve r);
function myMcOver (e:MouseEvent):void {
myMc.buttonMode = true;
myMc.useHandCursor = true;
}
but i get the following error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property buttonMode through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. / myMc.buttonMode = true; And do not apply the action to turn into a hand on mouse over!

I've come to a really strange bug in Flash: There is a swf called Nav.swf which contains on its stage a movieclip "som" which has its own class Som.as.There's an animation on Nav.swf, and when it ends it will call the method StartPlayer() on Som.as.If I run setupButtons() in the init() function, it works fine, I am able to click the button "btPlayPause" and it will trace what's in the function clickPlayPause();
THE PROBLEM: If I leave it as it is on the example below (the setupButtons() function is only called by the startPlayer() method, which is called from Nav.swf a while later after Som is instantiated) it will trace what's in both functions startPlayer() and setupButtons() BUT the button "btPlayPause" won't work! It dosn't get the buttonMode property set to true (cursor does not change to the little hand) and when I click on it it does not run clickPlayPause(), it doesn't trace anything!
The same happens if I call directly the setupButtons() function from the nav.swf. It will trace what's in setupButtons() but the movieclip won't listen to the MouseEvent.I cleaned up the code only to show what matters:
Code:
package br.com.dialetto.nav
{
import flash.display.*;[code]..........

I have a MovieAssetMaterial and i apply it to a plane..
but I cant get the hand cursor to work. if i set the viewport to buttonMode = true .. it makes the whole thing have a hand cursor.
I read bunch of examples on the net and couldnt get it to work because either they were using older version of pv3d.

I would like a function to run when a user clicks anywhere on stage. But this function should not run when the click is on buttons & on url:s inside a dynamic html-formated textfield. How can I detect this? I do realise that the cursor turns to a hand when you hoover over a url inside a textfield & you can set the hand to appear on buttons as well (which i always set it to do). So is there a way in realtime to detect when the cursor is & is not a hand? I've tried the following:
Code:
btn_mc.buttonMode = true;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,down)
function down(E:MouseEvent)
[Code]....

My goal is to simply have the cursor swap to be a hand (pointer) when I roll over a MovieClip. Obviously I could use SimpleButton, but the situation is that I have some enemies that are obviously MovieClips, and when I select an ability to use I want the mouse to show as a pointer when I roll over them.
I assumed this would work:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0);
mc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);
[Code].....
There are workarounds such as adding a button into the enemy MovieClip and then removing it. Just seems there's an inbuilt way I'm missing.

i know this can be done through custom cursors.. i can write up a class to listen for mouse move/over and then show the hand symbol by hiding the original.. but is there any other way which avoids use or writing enter frame/mouse move type listeners...something like

mc.enablecustommousecursor=true;

I created a list using xml, which when clicked would display the appropriate information. Everything is working fine, except I can't get the hand cursor to appear over the list and I need to create a scrollbar for the list. I'm having difficulty with both, it seems as I'm dealing with textfield. I tried numerous solutions to the hand cursor problem but it didn't work.[code]

Can you just confirm for me that the only way to change the cursor to a "Grab Hand" (ie an open hand rather than a pointy finger) is to make a custom cursor?
