ok i got that working…but i still want the cursor to change on a hover over a button, (as i dose for a html link or a normal button on a none flash site) to what ever cursor your pc has set to its defult hand cursor…i sure this is possable and i used to do it with projectors made in flash…

Ok you lost me, you want to disable the default hand cursor because you want the default hand cursor to show up?

I don’t get a different hand cursor in Flash than I do on any other link.
