Our product team has requested custom cursors during drag/drop operations. They have provided me with three images to implement:

  • Open-Hand-Grabber.png: displays when a user hovers over an item that they can drag
  • Closed-Hand-Grabber.png: item is being dragged
  • Closed-Hand-Grabber-No-Drop: item dragged over an area where it cannot be dropped

I have embedded these images into the Flex application and I am now trying to implement the desired behavior.

My first thought was to listen to the drag/drop events and set the cursors using the CursorManager.setCursor() method. This solution seems very code intensive and I feel that there must be an easier way to skin the various drag/drop cursor states.

Any ideas?
