Is it possible to change default system’s ‘hand’ cursor with some ‘my_cursor.png” file in Flex 3 so whenever user points over button he can see my custom cursor? 🙂

Thanks!

    I would then tackle the mouseover as follows (Pseudo code):

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import mx.managers.CursorManager;

import spark.components.Button;


public class ButtonWithCustomCursor extends Button
{
    [Embed("/cursors/somecursor.png")]
    private var someCursor:Class;

    public function ButtonWithCustomCursor()
    {
        super();
        addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
        addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
    }

    private function onMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
        CursorManager.setCursor(someCursor);
    }

    private function onMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
        CursorManager.removeAllCursors();
    }
}

    Every button I’d use in my app would then be an instance of ButtonWithCustomCursor and the behaviour would hence be available on all buttons in my application.

    Also, do remember to remove your EventListeners since they could lead to memory leaks.
