I’ve got a piece of text that I am using as movieclip to add some onRollOver states to it…but I need to make the text non-selectable…so when a user passes their mouse over it…the cursor does not change to the text bar…as when this happens I loose the RollOver state…

How can this be done.

Much thanks…
