Force system cursor usage in Flex

Question

Let's say that you're using some black box library (i.e. no source code) that sets your cursor to something when rolling over a certain sprite. You can override that by catching rollOver and rollOut events, blocking propagation and using the CursorManager.

Question: is there a way to tell the CursorManager to use the system cursor?

Obviously, I could feed the CursorManager some "system like" cursor, but this would look weird if the local settings are different from that icon, which is likely to be always.

thank you!

You can create your own version of CursorManager - just create file mx/managers/CursorManager.as, copy it's content from default manager (use Ctrl+Shift+T to navigate to it) and change the code.

If you use RSLs then you need to create monkey-patch and load it BEFORE RSLs.

if you embed SDK into code then you can simply compile the app and class will be replaced.
