Yeah, that's what I meant. I never ended up changing the arrow to a hand. It's the blinking "I" (when you click in a TextInput) that is causing the issue. The CursorManager only seems to be for switching the mouse cursor, not stopping the blinking "I" insertion thing from making Flex think it's inside the TextArea still.
My latest issue is that I'm trying to figure out how to allow the user to insert the text at the exact drop point of the mouse cursor (previously I was just replacing what was in there with the selected text). Will I have to extend TextInput and TextArea so I can access the protected TextField or is there a method within the TextInput and TextArea that I can reference externally (without the need to extend the Flex components)? --- In [email protected], "valdhor" <valdhorli...@...> wrote: > > There are other cursors you can set it to.
