Hey,

Anyone know how to create a rollover without using a button so that the hand icon does not appear. I need a rollover on a certain area of the screen but I want the pointer to stay as an arrow.

I think using ‘if (\_ymouse\<450)’ would work if i wanted the rollover to occur from 450 downwards on the screen but what if the area is a strip between 450 and 500?

Help would be much appreciated.

also note the same can be applied to movieclips

MovieClipName.useHandCursor = false;

as well as their prototypes (meaning ALL buttons or movieclips will have no hand cursor)

Button.prototype.useHandCursor = false;  
MovieClip.prototype.useHandCursor = false;

sen you put “MovieClip.prototype.useHandCursor = false;” in there … I don’t understand why an mc would use the handcursor anyway. unless by putting that it doesn’t use the handcursor throughout the entire movie

i’m confused(-:

Hello,  
For some reason . I can’t get this to work.  
I have a rollover movie clip inside another movie that I don’t want the mouse pointer to show.  
Does this code go on the movie clip itself or on it’s own layer?  
I tried both, but didn’t work.

```auto
MovieClipName.useHandCursor = false;

```

Apply your code on the timeline of the movieclip you dont want the hand cursor to appear.
