Hi all,  
I wanted to know how I can keep my cursor an arrow when I mouseOver a button or mc, instead of it changing into a hand.

Thanks, LOTW ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/45/3c14315b392f75bb.gif)

You will be amazed at how simple this is. It is a great feature of Flash MX.

Right click on your button and select actions… add this…

```auto

on(rollOver) {
	_root.myButton.useHandCursor = false
}

```

Where myButton = the instance name of your button.

You can also do it in a frame by right clicking the frame and choosing Actions then adding…

\_root.myButton.useHandCursor = false

Either way works.

Hope this helps!
