Professional :: Pesky Text Box - Make The Hand Cursor Stick?
Aug 11, 2011
I've got a dynamic text box on a movie clip that I'm using as a button (for a slider). To be specific, it's a movie clip on the stage that has a MOUSE_DOWN event listener applied to it. There's a circle in the movie clip and a dynamic text box in the movie clip right in the middle of the circle
The text field is set to NOT be selectable, the font is embedded, buttonMode and useHandCursor are set to true. I get a hand cursor when my cursor hits the outside of the circle, but once it hits the text field in the middle, the hand cursor goes away. how I can make the hand cursor stick? I've considered replacing the dynamic text field with a movie clip that has a timeline full of numbers, but that would be giving up.

I have a movieclip that has in it a text field (TLFTextField) and in a lower layer I have drawn a square with stroke and fill.
When the movie starts, I call
Code:
btn.buttonMode = true;
But the mouse cursor is the regular arrow instead of a hand when I mouse over the button in the areas of the textField that has no text.
I've also tried calling buttonMode=true to the text field itself, but didn't work How can I make the cursor be a hand over the TLFTextField?

I've made a 30 second *.avi file and converted it to SWF
And then I remembered I need to put link inside the Flash so I decompiled it and put this in *.fla file;
Code:
onMouseDown = function(){
my_url = "http://www.link.link";
getURL("http://www.link.link","_blank");
};
But that doesn't make mouse pointer change to hand when it's over the banner.

Looking to emulate what flash and browsers do for buttons, switch from the cursor to the pointer hand. It seems to happen to everything seen as a button but I need it to do that on all links. This is for an exe. presentation.

I'm using Windows 7, Flash CS5, Flash Player 9, ActionScript 3.0 I created a slideshow with links on a few of the slides. My problem is that the Hand Cursor doesn't always appear on the slide with a link, and sometimes appears on a slide without a link. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's the code I have in one of the slides with a link that doesn't show the hand cursor:
[Code]...
Here's the slideshow on my client's website:[URL] You'll see that the 1st slide should have a hand cursor since it has a link to it. The second slide (beading 101 ad) has a hand cursor but shouldn't since there's no code on it - no url on this one.

I want to have the mouse cursor to be changed to hand when used for entering the<mx:textInput>. When the field is already on focus, text selection should be available.I tried any combination of useHandCursor="true", buttonMode="true" and mouseChildren="false",and the closest result is when using all three of them. Then the hand cursor does appear, but the text field loses its selection 'abilities' (text cannot beselected using the mouse). This is logical, since mouseChildren="false" disables this. But how do I acheive the desired result?

does anyone know how to make the initial text in an input text box disappear once your cursor changes from the arrow to the type cursor? For example, I have an input text box which has the text visible saying "enter your email address here" I want this text to disappear automatically when the user goes to type something there...

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 was wondering if there was a way of making your mouse cursor stick to an object for a period of time when clicked?
eg. If i clicked "about" then the mouse would stick to that button while it slid to a new location on the stage. Once the tweening stops, you can move the mouse again.

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'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.
