hi all

I need to make the cursor turn into to a hand when the user is with the mouse over the movie clip.

when I use the following code the entire movie turns into to a hand but I just want it on my movie clip.

can anyone help? pls?

```auto

Mouse.cursor=MouseCursor.HAND //this works for the hole movie

```

this is what I need that doesn’t work

```auto

my_mc.Mouse.cursor=MouseCursor.HAND

```
