There are 2 types of cursors in Flex: system cursors -- the arrow, the hand, the I-beam, etc. -- and custom cursors. Custom cursors are really graphics you display in place of the system cursor (which is hidden) at the current mouse position. There are a number of problems with this: you don't know when the system cursor has changed from an arrow to an I-beam, for instance, and it's often hard to keep up with the current mouse position, so sometimes the custom cursor might lag. I avoid using custom cursors in my applications for these reasons. All that said, I think if you want to show the hand cursor conditionally you'll have to do what you're thinking: switch cursors on roll over and roll out. Manish
