Pb with handCursor when rolling over text embedded in a MC

Question

Hi,
I have a little pb when creating movieClip buttons containing
a textField.
Indeed when rolling over the button, and precisely rolling
over the text contained in my button, the handCursor is replaced by
the normal arrow. How can I prevent that? I mean having the
handCursor displayed over the whole button, not only outside the
textField areas?
If you don't see what I mean, please consider the following
simple code , you will see that when rolling over "HELLO" the
handCursor disaoppears :
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.*;
var buttonClip=new MovieClip();
buttonClip.buttonMode=true;
buttonClip.useHandCursor=true;
buttonClip.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
buttonClip.graphics.beginFill(0xaaaaaa,100);
buttonClip.graphics.drawRect(0,0,200,20);
buttonClip.graphics.endFill();
buttonClip.x=50;
buttonClip.y=50;
this.addChild(buttonClip);
var texte=new TextField();
texte.text="HELLO";
texte.selectable=false;
buttonClip.addChild(texte);
Thanks for your help,
Pascal

I am having a similar problem. I was using MX 2004 and the
hand cursor displayed over the whole movie, even on loaded movies.
On movies that will be loaded over the base_level are loaded the
arrow is never displayed, and is always a hand. When the movies are
viewed separately the arrow changes to hand cursor as it should.
With the exception of the base movie which is always the hand
cursor. I did find code for mx2004 to correct this, but it would
mean that i would need to add code to every instance on the stage
across 6 loadedMovies, and the base level.
Does the CS3 document class correct this action? If so, how
do i find out what code to use.
