Description

I've fielded many questions from customers who want to use the hand cursor on a variety of components, including Button, LinkButton, Text, Image, Slider, and so forth; basically interactive control.

In most cases, setting the properties useHandCursor=true; mouseChildren=false; buttonMode=true makes this happen. While these properties taken together yield the result, it is confusing. Plus, because it is confusing it leads to a support call and/or repeated questions on the Flex forums.

It would be nice if there were a simpler way to enable the hand cursor or, for that matter, any cursor for a specific control.
