Hi there,

I’ve just stumbled upon a tiny but annoying problem concerning the mouse hand symbol that appears to indicate if a movie is clickable or not.

This is the problem.

I have a movie with a onRelease handler attached to it.  
Now I _dynamically_ want to remove this handler (eg. mc.onRelease=null).

However, when hovering over the movie, flash keeps on changing the mouse pointer into a hand symbol.  
Thus wrongly telling the user something will happen when clicking.

example code to trigger the problem:

\*mc1.onRelease = function() {trace(‘mc1’);} \*  
_mc2.onRelease = function() {mc1.onRelease=null;}_

Note: The same thing happens when removing an onRollover handler.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

greetings,  
rhodes
