How do I display a hand cursor over a component in Flex?
	by Niklas Richardson 6:07 pm Monday, 28 November 2005.

Displaying a hand cursor over a component in Flex 1.5 is fairly straightforward however you need to perform two things to get it to work. Use the following code on your component to make it work:

mouseOver="event.target.onRelease=null;event.target.useHandCursor=true;"

Unfortunately, you can’t just get away with using the useHandCursor=true, you must first specify event.target.onRelease=null.

Here it is in action:

And, here is the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="250" height="150" marginLeft="10" marginRight="10">

<mx:HBox width="200" height="100" backgroundColor="0xFFFFFF" mouseOver="event.target.onRelease=null;event.target.useHandCursor=true;" >
<mx:Text width="100%" text="Display Hand Cursor over this white box" />
</mx:HBox>

</mx:Application>
