Sometimes it’s necessary in a Flash project to prevent the user from being able to click on a button at certain times during the presentation. I’ll typically add an “invisible” button on top of the button (no graphics in the button except for the hit zone), which does the trick nicely BUT…
The cursor, of course, turns into a hand icon, making the user think it’s still a clickable button.
Is there a way to prevent the cursor from changing from an arrow into a hand icon?
Or, is there a better way to make buttons “unclickable” at times?
