## On the stage I have a mc called “content” Inside another mc I have a button that loads a swf into “content”

## on(release) { \_root.content.loadMovie(“file.swf”, 0);

## On the first frame of the main stage I have this action:

```
_root.content.button1.useHandCursor = false;
_root.content.button2.useHandCursor = false;

```

* * *

I want to hide the hand cursor of the buttons inside the loaded swf, but these actions are notworking.

Can someone help me?

Hi

> On the stage I have a mc called “content” Inside another mc I have a button that loads a swf into “content”

is your button inside mc.content - it doesn’t look like it from your post, so your pathing is wrong, change  
[AS]  
\_root.content.button1.useHandCursor = false;  
// to  
mcname.button1.usehandCursor = 0;[/AS]

and the same for button 2; then it will work

Cheers
