Just a thought, as I haven't tried the method you described. What about
setting the styles of the cursor on mouse down?
var styleSheet:CSSStyleDeclaration =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("DragManager");
styleSheet.setStyle("moveCursor", grabCursor);
or
styleSheet.setStyle("copyCursor", grabCursor);
And you could set it back on mouse up. Just a thought because maybe
DragManager is setting things back to what it has set in its styles.
