In my flash movie, I have an action when the mouse rolls over a movie clip, but the mouse cursor changes to a hand when it rolls over it. How do I get the cursor to stay an arrow when they rollover the clip?

```auto
myMovieClip.useHandCursor = false;

```

Is there are way to set that globaly so it affects all my buttons at one time?
