[flexcoders] useHandCursor and selectable=true?

[Baz]

I would like to use the hand cursor while still allowing my RichEditbleText
to be selectable. The combination of selectable=true and
useHandCursor=true does not change the cursor to a hand. Any ideas?

You can set selection programmatically based on mouse position, so I would
opt for making a text field unselectable by user and manage the selection in
response to mouse events. However, generally, it's counterintuitive for
users, it's kind of looks like a bug, when you don't see the i-beam and the
text is still selectable...

Thanks Oleg. You are helpful as usual.

I want to mimic HTML in how a link is selectable, yet still clickable with
the hand cursor. There is a millimeter of space before and after the link
where the handcursor changes to a selection cursor. As I write this I just
realized there is an s:a tag that does exactly that!
