Asfunction, cursor states, and moviclips...oh my

Question

Hello all. I've ran into a bit of a snag and I'm thinking the
obvious is sitting right in front of me...
I have a dynamic movieclip that is created to serve as a
container for a dynamically created textfield. The textfield has
html text. Within that html text is an asfunction to call a method.
Code is posted below:
MovieClip(this.createEmptyMovieClip("textOneContainer_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
TextField(textOneContainer_mc.createTextField("textOneField",
textOneContainer_mc.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 300, 30));
// Method triggered from asfunction call from html text
textOneContainer_mc.launchGlossary = function(arg){
trace("Launch Glossary Method Hit, Glossary Word: "+arg);
textOneContainer_mc. textOneField.html = true;
textOneContainer_mc. textOneField.htmlText = htmlString_str;
Now the issues are:
1. if applied, textOneContainer_mc onRollOver, onRollOut,
onRelease, and etc seem to not allow the asfunction to be called
2. i'm using custom cursors, which work fine...however, the
system hand cursor appears over the word I have linked via
asfunction. I've tried using the useHandCursor = false MovieClip
property, but it still appears.
I hope this makes sense, i'm a little dumbfounded on this
one. The last thing I want to do is to do a split on the html text
and put each word in it's own MovieClip just to achieve what the
asfunction already does.
