Alex, Setting the cursor on mouseMove is not the problem...I get the correct cursor during mouseMove...the cursor comes from the move-cursor style of the DragManager. I am attempting to use these styles to get the functionality that I need.
If I don't use the DragManager styles and attempt to set all of the cursors manually I can almost get it working. If I do it this way I have to turn off the cursor when the user ends the drag. This is simple if the user drops where I expect the drop to occur. But if the user drops to one of the many many unallowed areas I am not sure where to put the code that will remove my custom cursor without putting mouseUp listeners everywhere. Maybe there is a simple way to do this differently? If I use the DragManager's styles this happens automatically for me, plus I get the bonus of allowing the DragManager to show reject-cursor and others, which I do not want to change manually. So the problem for me right now is to show the correct cursor between mouseDown, which calls startDrag(), and mouseMove when the DragManager seems to take over and use it's stylesheet cursors. I tried setting my own cursor in mouseDown and then removing it in mouseMove, but this seems to mess up the DragManager and cause it to no longer use the custom cursors setup in it's stylesheet. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm not sure why you say you can't use setCursor() on mouseMove? > > > > Anyway, everything described in the original email seems ok.
