useHandCursor not working once I add to html?

Feb 29, 2012 2:48 PM

Hi,

 

I have this bit of code for a simple button:

 

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.ui.Mouse;

 

 

movieClip_1.buttonMode = true;

movieClip_1.useHandCursor = true;

 

 

I can see the cursor in flashPlayer, but once I put this in an html doc, I don't see the hand cursor any more.

 

Do I need to be adding something to the html as well, or is more code needed? For some reason, I thought this used to work... maybe that's just the old school AS2 buttons?

 

thanks,

Dave

    if movieClip_1 is a simple button you should be seeing error messages.  if it's a movieclip and IF the mouse is over movieClip_1, assigning it's buttonMode to true is sufficent for the cursor to respond as if it's over a button

    well, it's definitely working as a button. What I was saying was that it wasn't changing to a hand cursor. I ended up doing one thing that made all the difference and that was to change the hot spot from just an area of color to a movie clip within the button itself, and that worked. I don't know why but it's working.

     

    still not working in Safari, but my target is IE for PC on this project and it's working there.

    if you click on movieClip_1 and in the properties panel you see "Button" in the object type combobox, you should see a compiler error message when trying to apply a buttonMode property.

    I'm running into this issue as well. All browsers on my Mac don't seem to show the hand cursor, but all my Windows browsers do. The standalone Flash Player on the Mac works correctly as well.
