ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference - Adobe Help and Support

Example
Create two button instances on the Stage called one_btn and two_btn. Enter the following
ActionScript in Frame 1 of the Timeline:
var one_btn:Button;
var two_btn:Button;
this.createTextField("output_txt", 999, 0, 0, 100, 22);
output_txt.autoSize = true;
one_btn.onRelease = function() {
trace("clicked one_btn");
trace(this._url);
};
two_btn.onRelease = function() {
trace("clicked "+this._name);
var url_array:Array = this._url.split("/");
var my_str:String = String(url_array.pop());
output_txt.text = unescape(my_str);
};
When you click each button, the file name of the SWF containing the buttons displays in the
Output panel.
useHandCursor (Button.useHandCursor property)
public useHandCursor : Boolean
A Boolean value that, when set to true (the default), indicates whether a pointing hand (hand
cursor) displays when the mouse rolls over a button. If this property is set to false, the arrow
pointer is used instead.
You can change the useHandCursor property at any time; the modified button immediately
takes on the new cursor behavior. The useHandCursor property can be read out of a
prototype object.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6
Example
Create two buttons on the Stage with the instance names myBtn1_btn and myBtn2_btn.
Enter the following ActionScript in Frame 1 of the Timeline:
myBtn1_btn.useHandCursor = false;
myBtn1_btn.onRelease = buttonClick;
myBtn2_btn.onRelease = buttonClick;
function buttonClick() {
trace(this._name);
}
When the mouse is over and clicks myBtn1_btn, there is no pointing hand. However, you see
the pointing hand when the button is over and clicks myBtn2_btn.
