Busy cursor on Web

Question

We are currently moving our application to the Web and find that the Busy cursor style remains an arrow - how can we change this?

Answer 1

Flex har
UI:
This was not AIR, it is Flex 3.
The WMODE is normal.
However I have solved my problem.
Originally I wanted to completely replace any active cursor with the busy cursor. The problem (to review) was that the orignal cursor would not go away, and would appear on top of the busy cursor, and then when moving the mouse, the busy cursor would trail after the original cursor, and the two cursors would kind of join up again. So it was really annoying.
I did find the following which sort of solved the problem:
Mouse.hide;
this.mouseChildren=false;
CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
With the above, the original cursor would go away and stay gone, *once the mouse was moved*, leaving only the busy cursor. Why it was necessary to move the mouse, I have no idea. So this as well did not completely solve the problem (but came much closer).
Here was my final solution:
First of all, I had not noticed previously that the standard busy cursor in the browser keeps the original pointer, and just offsets an hourglass to the right of that pointer by a fixed distance.  Don't know why I had not notice that before.  So all I had to do was
csr_busy = CursorManager.setCursor( StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("CursorManager").getStyle("busyCursor"),1,20,0);
at one place, and then to remove it later,
CursorManager.removeCursor(csr_busy);
That's it.  the '20' parameter just keeps the busy cursor (an animated clock) 20 pixels to the right of the original cursor (whatever it happens to be at the time - a pointer, a hand, etc.), which from my experience is impossible to completely remove anyway, so I don't try.  But it looks good as I have it now, and contrary to what I originally thought is consistent with the Browser's own busy cursor.
