Question

I need hand cursor to appear on roll over spark Label. I’ve tried useHandCursor + buttonMode properties, but no result. And is there anything like htmlText property for spark Label (I need underline)? Any alternative solutions are welcome. Thanks.

Does this code suites your needs?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
    <s:Label buttonMode="true" horizontalCenter="0" text="Test" textDecoration="underline" verticalCenter="0" />
</s:Application>

If you want to have ability to mix styles together you can use the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
    <s:RichText buttonMode="true" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0">
        <s:content>Hello, <s:span textDecoration="underline">World</s:span>!</s:content>
    </s:RichText>
</s:Application>

According to documentation:

The Spark architecture provides three
text “primitives” — Label, RichText,
and RichEditableText — as part of its
pay-only-for-what-you-need philosophy.
Label is the fastest and most
lightweight, but is limited in its
capabilities: no complex formatting,
no scrolling, no selection, no
editing, and no hyperlinks. RichText
and RichEditableText are built on the
Text Layout Framework (TLF) library,
rather than on FTE. RichText adds the
ability to render rich HTML-like text
with complex formatting, but is still
completely non-interactive.
RichEditableText is the slowest and
heaviest, but can do it all: it
supports scrolling with virtualized
TextLines, selection, editing,
hyperlinks, and images loaded from
URLs. You should use the fastest one
that meets your needs.
