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
Code:
mc.buttonMode=true;
mc.enablecustommousecursor=true;
[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?

View 2 RepliesI 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";}

In the game spank the monkey, how would I achieve the drag and drop functionality of the game? specifications: Press the hand to enable drag and drop As soon as user drags the hand out of the flash movie, the hand is released, despite whether or not the user's mouse is still pressed.If the user's mouse is still pressed even after coming back to the flash screen the hand does not respond until pressed again.I tried multiple things but to no avail.
One of my attempts involved having a constant onMouseMove event handler that flagged a "out_of_bound" area, but mc.onPress = function(){ //drag } does not respond after the initial press.
how to stop a ball from bouncing up and down when I grab the ball with my cursor?Currently, I have two sections of code, one for a drop and drag, and one to reenact the effects of gravity on my ball.I don't want the ball to start bouncing right away,I want it to either start bouncing when I drag it and let go, or start bouncing when I click a button.I would also like it to STOP bouncing altogether if I grab the ball. (because even though I can drag it around, the bouncing animation is still running!)Here's my current code: (With one "ball_mc" on the stage)

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;

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 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)

View 1 RepliesMy 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.
