Hi all,

I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0. I have a small doubt regarding HandCursor property with TextFields.

I need to place TextFields which appear as hyperlinks(i.e., they accept/listens for MouseEvent.CLICK event). So, my requirement is:

```
     Whenever, I place Mouse pointer on the created hyperlink, just it shows a cursor which appears in text-documents(i.e., a black coloured vertical line with 2 small black coloured horizontal lines up and down to this vertical line).

     Instead, I need to show HandCursor when we Roll_over on the hyperlink. So, how to do this.

     Please can anyone help me regarding this problem.

```

It’s urgent…  
Waiting for your replies…

Thanks in advance…
