I’m dynamically loading several Textfields, adding triggers to each one. I would like them to show the handcursor when over them. I have created Sprites and added the TextFields to their own Sprite, set buttonMode = true and useHandCursor = true but still no handcursor. What am I doing wrong?  
Thanks
