Hi, I am unable to get **[COLOR=DarkRed]useHandCursor = false;[/COLOR]** to work on a button script.

I need to have it on the button script, not in a timeline function (as the swf I am working on has many buttons and none have names on their instance, nor on the movies containing them). Is it possible to do this? I have also tried,\*\* [COLOR=DarkRed]this.useHandCursor = false; [/COLOR]\*\*but also not working.

Help much appreciated!

Thanks,  
Geoff
