Yes, unfortunately I found pretty early on that most V2 components
require _lockroot _and_ that the component be included in both the

So I stopped using V2 components. They're pretty rubbish. :-(

Seems really dumb, but I guess it is a bug,

setting the buttonMode = true on the component doesnt give me the hand

Is there a solution to this?

I don't understand the subtleties here. Just because XHTML was following
it's own rules doesn't mean it was within best practices to use AS E4X to

My point is that the source (XHTML) was following best practices for
XHTML, including using strict mode.
By contrast, the OP's source was XML, but it was not following best

to be there.

pretty easy to figure out with basic physics (velocity and
decay/friction). The rotation is a little trickier I imagine using
some sort of Matrix transformations to dynamically decide a point to
rotate around. Look for rotations
