Re: FLASH: Control how mousepointer looks

[Thorsten Schmiedel]

Hi Jette,


Unfortunately, there is no way (as far as I know) to change the

pointer-symbol itself... I don't know if you already did this, may be when

you put the large button in the 'popped-up-state' of your popup-menu, so

that it is only available when the popup is open and shuts down together

with the popup when you click elsewhere (btw: I'd rather suggest a

popup-shutdown on mouseout, because it'll save you from some hassle with the

large button, but that is, of course a matter of yourvery own navigational

design)



hope this helps a bit,


greetings,


thorsten
