Defining Custom Pointer

AlexanderStepanov — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 13:49:15 GMT

Hi All:

I am trying to define some custom pointers for my tools.
( for example toggling map.openHandCursorVisible property will change between "openHand/pan" and "regular" cursor.). I would like to add 2 additional types. Should I work with cursor manager directly in Flex or using AGS Flex API?

I will appreciate if you could point me out to documentation/examples where this issue is discussed.

Kind regards,
Alexander

Alexander,

Try something like this. Create your own png image and then:

[Embed('../images/i_pointer_cursor.png')]
private var _pointerCursor:Class;

map.cursorManager.setCursor(_pointerCursor,2,0,-3);

If you want access to default cursors you can try something like this:

Mouse.cursor = MouseCursor.ARROW;
