[F8] Change my cursor

Hey,

Does anyone have some as script that I could use to change my cursor(mouse pointer) to my hand.png? The only problem is I only want it to happen on my button. No where else. I am trying to show that you can drag the button around the screen.

Thanks in advance.

I'll assume you have a button (instance name: btn) and a movie clip for your mouse (instance name: mouse_mc) on your root-timeline. The first frame of mouse_mc (framelabel: inactive ) is empty, the second one (framelabel: active ) holds your hand.png bitmap. Equip both frames with a
stop(); - action. Now, attach the following code to the appropriate frame of your root-timeline:

code:

---

_root.mouse_mc.swapDepths(1000);

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

	mouse_mc._x = _root._xmouse;

	mouse_mc._y = _root._ymouse;

};

_root.btn.onRollOver = function() {

	Mouse.hide();

	_root.mouse_mc.gotoAndStop("active");

};

_root.btn.onRollOut = function() {

	Mouse.show();

	_root.mouse_mc.gotoAndStop("inactive");

};

---

Hope this helps.
aut.

Hey,

Works great. The only problem is when I put the text box and button which has the hand code in a MC it doesn't work. I assume this is cause my action says _root. What would I change _root to ?

Thanks,

_root.holderClipInstanceName.myBtn should work
but if you do that you should actually change it to this

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
mouse_mc._x = Math.Floor( _root._xmouse)
mouse_mc._y = Math.Floor(_root._ymouse);
};
