I have several buttons on a flash movie that I would like to have the cursor when on these buttons look the same as the original cursor, so the viewer only gets the actions assoicated with the “over state” but doesn’t think it is a button to be pressed.

I have no actions assigned to these buttons other than the the over state which causes a small label to appear “labeling” what the image (button) is.

Any suggestions?
