In AS2, when I created a button with a MC with MC.onRelease, the mouse cursor automatically changed to a hand/pointer.

In AS3 with:  
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER,function():void {  
trace(“do something”);  
}  
);

it don’t use the hand cursor. Is this the right way to “replace” onRelease in AS3 and how do I get the hand cursor?
