Can't seem to get hand cursor happening.

Question

To whom it may concern;
I have been struggling to get a hand cursor over my MC's for pic4_mc, pic14_mc and pic1_mc. They are photos turned into MC's with as3 function to act like a btn. Perhaps I am putting the script:
(myMC).buttonMode = true;
(myMC).useHandCursor = true;
in the wrong place...
Below is my script for a website I am doing...It may not be the correct way of doing script but the functionality seems to work (apart for the hand cursor) so please forgive me if it seems all over the place.

Hi Mocca,
Thank you for your swift reply. I changed the MOUSE_OVER to ROLL_OVER etc... I have tried adding the buttonMode but nothing still happens. There are no errors when I test the .fla regarding the additional script but no hand cursor is seen. I have also tried it without pic4_mc.useHandCursor = true;.... Below is the amended script:
stop();
pic4_mc.buttonMode = true;
pic4_mc.useHandCursor = true;
pic14_mc.buttonMode = true;
pic14_mc.useHandCursor = true;
pic1_mc.buttonMode = true;
pic1_mc.useHandCursor = true;
//Cleaning services pic
pic4_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, fl_MouseOutHandler_5);
function fl_MouseOutHandler_5(event:MouseEvent):void
          pic4_mc.alpha = 0.5;
          trace("Moused out");
pic4_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler_5);
function fl_MouseOverHandler_5(event:MouseEvent):void
          pic4_mc.alpha = 1.0;
          trace("Moused over");
//Garden maintenance pic
pic14_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, fl_MouseOutHandler_6);
function fl_MouseOutHandler_6(event:MouseEvent):void
          pic14_mc.alpha = 0.5;
          trace("Moused out");
pic14_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler_6);
function fl_MouseOverHandler_6(event:MouseEvent):void
          pic14_mc.alpha = 1.0;
          trace("Moused over");
