flash's "useHandCursor = true" not working for Chrome on Mac

Question

I'm developing a flash game using the default SimpleButton object for my buttons and the hand cursor is working just fine on PC Chrome and Firefox and Safari for Mac, but Chrome on Mac is not letting me swap the default cursor for the hand cursor. I've even set useHandCursor to true for every button I add a click event to and am still getting nothing.

We've got no other rollover events, so it's important that the cursor switch.

Anyone else run into this and have a lil-fixy / workaround?

Answer 1

Try adding buttonMode="true" and mouseChildren="false"

Answer 2

It seems like a known issue with Chrome on the mac, unfortunately. I've seen a number of other people complaining about it but no solutions:

Let's hope they fix it on their next update

Answer 4

This was a known bug in Chrome 5 for the Mac; it's already fixed in the Dev channel.
