RE: FLASH: Changing Cursors

[Julie Fell (Entex)]

This can be done with DHTML/CSS. I don't know Action Scripting (yet) so I

can't help you out with the Flash part, but this is the syntax you would use

in regular HTML. Maybe there is a way to put styles in the AS code?


<a href="blah.htm" style="cursor:move;">Move Me!</a>


Here is a list of the remaining values that can be used with the cursor

property:


crosshair - Simple cross hair. 

default   - Platform-dependent default cursor (usually an arrow). 

hand      - Hand. 

move      - Crossed arrows indicating something is to be moved. 

*-resize  - Arrow indicating edge is to be moved (*may be n, ne, nw, s, se,

sw, e, or w-each representing a compass direction).  

text      - Editable text (usually an I-bar). 

wait      - Hourglass or watch indicating that the program is busy and the

user should wait. 

help      - Arrow with question mark indicating Help is available. 


p.s. This may only work in IE and I'm not sure about the Mac.

My query -

Is it possible to change cursors for different states of mouse???

For eg.

On rollover i have the hand cursor, this should turn to a grabbing hand on

mousedown to make the user

feel that he is actually dragging it.

Dragging the object is fine but changing the cursor,
