MovieClip 937
The MovieClipLoader class used in these examples requires Flash Player 7 or later. The
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in these examples requires Flash Player 7
or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components
DepthManager class instead of the
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
useHandCursor (MovieClip.useHandCursor property)
public useHandCursor : Boolean
A Boolean value that indicates whether the pointing hand (hand cursor) appears when the
mouse rolls over a movie clip. The default value of the
useHandCursor property is true. If
useHandCursor is set to true, the pointing hand used for buttons appears when the mouse
rolls over a button movie clip. If
useHandCursor is false, the arrow pointer is used instead.
You can change the
useHandCursor property at any time; the modified movie clip
immediately uses the new cursor behavior. The
useHandCursor property can be read out of a
prototype object.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
The following example sets the
useHandCursor property for two movie clips called myMC1_mc
and
myMC2_mc. The property is set to true for one instance, and false for the other instance.
Notice how both instances can still receive events.
myMC1_mc.onRelease = traceMC;
myMC2_mc.onRelease = traceMC;
myMC2_mc.useHandCursor = false;
function traceMC() {
trace("you clicked: "+this._name);
};
_visible (MovieClip._visible property)
public _visible : Boolean
A Boolean value that indicates whether the movie clip is visible. Movie clips that are not
visible (
_visible property set to false) are disabled. For example, a button in a movie clip
with
_visible set to false cannot be clicked.
