Hi,

thanks a lot.

do you want it to permanently be a hand cursor? or just when you hover over a certain thing?

Either way, you do this:


stage.buttonMode = true;

//OR

myObject.buttonMode = true;

[rafnews]

only while mouse pointer will be over the movieclip

by the way, buttonMode = true, does not work with my MovieClip :-(
i've already tested it

[stompwampa]

it should work.
Make sure that the insance name of your movie clips is exactly as you are referring to it in the code:


instanceName.buttonMode = true;

[rafnews]

here is what i have :
this.oLang.oText.text="A simple test no more";
this.oLang.buttonMode = true;

where oLang is the instance of the movieclip.
but still does not work :-(

From my experience .buttonMode = true works only on sprite but not on MovieClip.

So i've created a class extending sprite and i did my custom button like that :-)

so now it works well.

thanks for help
