How do i make a RollOver TextArea???  
I would like to change my cursor, and at the same time keep the TextArea working, everytime the user RollsOver the same text area…

Any idea?

i tried this, but didnt work…

```auto

mc_over_area_txt.onRollOver = function()
{
    trace("over");
    mc_over_area_txt._visible = false;
    my_text_area.setFocus();
    
};

mc_over_area_txt.onRollOut = function()
{
    mc_over_area_txt._visible = true;
    trace("over out");

};

stop();

```
