Hi,

I tried this,

myClip_mc.buttonMode = true;
myClip_mc.useHandCursor = true;

and it worked when I preview it, but when i publish it, everything is back to square one, its all black cursor… do i need to set any things before i publish to make it work?

thanks!

Thanks for that buttonMode, StrawMan. I was wondering how to get this to work with a movie clip!

rootfroot:
They most certainly do exist.
The code above assumes a Button Component Instance, as cited, somewhere either in the library or on the stage.

In a similar vein, if one is drawing buttons from scratch from movie clips, applying the following code will allow for the hand cursor:

myClip_mc.buttonMode = true; myClip_mc.useHandCursor = true;

There’s no such thing as a button in Actionscript 3. Replaced by SimpleButton.
