    cursor flickers when placed over a button

    I have made a header with buttons in flash for a site. When i use the site the cursor does not changes its shape into handshape cursor depicting a link or button but flickers between an arrow cursor and hand cursor. I am not being able to understand the reason behind it.

    It would be nice if someone can guide me through.

    Thanks!

    m8 to put it very simple ..you are trying to use static text for a link .it doesnt work ....if you are make a background layer in the button draw a spe the same size as the text and set the alpha to 0 then the back ground is invisible ..
    then you wont have that problem again
    or change it to dynamic text ..
    cheers

    Hi!!

    I did try the way you said but it makes no difference. I'll put my problem in different words. When i play the swf file (i.e. the header that i made) it works fine . There is no flickering; but the moment i attatch it with my web page there it gives me problem.

    Hope you will be able to help me out now )

    you can also put the rectangle in your hit state instead of making an alpha 0% rectangle.

    it doesn't flicker for me...???

    what are using to embed it into your webpage? i've had problems unless i let dreamweaver write the code for me, then everything is good.

    attached is the html file where i am getting no flickering. put it in the same folder as your flash file and try it. tell me if you still get flickering.
