Cursor / Mouse Icon

Question

Hi. I want to change my mouse pointer to an open hand on
rollOver and to a grasped hand on click of a button so that the
button looks like its being grabbed. I presume you use the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
startDrag("", true);
Is this correct? My main question though is where do you get
the little white and black pixel icons? I've seen the same open and
grasped hand on a few sites so I presume they're generic default
icons that come with flash? Or flash resource sites? Any
suggestions?
Thanks.

not really, onload is one time event, ONLOAD only.
You need something in-a-loop like setInterval or EnterFrame.
Secondly, no need for Drag, just xmouse and ymouse cords,
provide
much smoother drag than actual drag action
make the icon a movie clip, give it some instance name, than
on
timeline frame :
MCname.onMouseMove = function() {
MCname._x = _root._xmouse;
MCname._y = _root._ymouse;
updateAfterEvent();
