AS3: WTF is up with useHandCursor

Firstly, if you are not using SSL for all your sites, you should step it up! NameCheap's SSL certificates start at only $9. There's no excuse!

Firstly, if you have not tried Digital Ocean's SSD Virtual Servers for only $5/mo, I highly recommend them!

Why doesn’t useHandCursor=true just work in AS3? If I set useHandCursor=true, should there be any other questions asked?

    // This doesn't work
    mc.useHandCursor = true;

    //	Sometimes this works
    mc.buttonMode = true;

   // When in doubt...
   mc.mouseChildren = false;

To be safe, I just do all three…

i read about this, it seems buttonMode has to be set to true now, for any mouse activity to count.

hm.. mc.buttonMode = true always works.
Plz show the part of code, where observes bug with this setter method.

mc.buttonMode = true does not work when you have child display objects that are mouse enabled. To make sure that you always get the hand cursor, you only need these 2 lines…

this.mouseChildren = false;
this.buttonMode = true;

easy peasy :)
