No way to change the normal cursor in FLash, except using a clip and mouseHide.

You can easily change the default cursor to a hand cursor when rolling over a List component by defining an onRollOver, onRollOut, onPress or onRelease handler to it.

For example:

```auto

yourlist.onRollOut = function(){
}

```

This won’t do anything when rolling out, but it will change the cursor to a hand when rolling over the list. However, it could be that some problems might occur with pressing items for example (I don’t know, I haven’t tried it with items in the list). If you find that to be the case, using a clip and Mouse.hide() is the best way to go.
