I haven’t been able to figure out through my searches how I can enable the hand cursor on objects that are not Sprites or MovieClips or SimpleButtons. I have a List component and now matter what I have tried I can’t get that friendly hand mouse icon to appear. Same thing goes with TextField objects, they can’t seem to accept a hand cursor on mouse over.

Is there a simple way I can do this for either of those situations?
