HTML has the ability to set cursors using CSS.[1] This includes built-in cursors as well as custom cursors which can be specified as image or animated files. It appears that .cur files have the best browser support.[2]
I’d like to create a CursorManager class or Mouse (cursor) class similar to the existing ones in Flash/Flex. Is there an accepted practice for dealing with these types of settings in FlexJS? It seems to me that the way to do it would be to add a class to the top-level application DOM element. Here’s one reference.[3] (I’m obviously discussing the JS side. The SWF side could handle it the way it’s currently being handled using either Mouse.cursor or CursorManager.)
