Change HandCursor while MouseOver GraphicsLayer

Question

Hi. I have some point data from a REST service that I am displaying on my map using pretty icons defined in a GraphicsLayer: . . . I have a map click handler to do something when the user clicks a point. Currently, the "grab" cursor is present anywhere on the map so the user knows to pan. How do I change the cursor to a finger pointer while hovering over a point? I tried adding to the GraphicsLayer useHandCursor="true" but this had no effect, even if I set it to false. I tried setting useHandCursor="true" (and false) to the map itself and still no effect. Is ESRI overriding the cursor? How do I take control of it? Thanks!

One way I do it is with the code below.
graphic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function(event:MouseEvent):void
{
 map.panEnabled = false;
 graphic.buttonMode = true;
 graphic.useHandCursor = true;

});
graphic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, function(event:MouseEvent):void
{
 graphic.buttonMode = false;
 graphic.useHandCursor = false;
 map.panEnabled = true;
});

Eric,

Easily fixed.// for mouse over use
                                myMap.openHandCursorVisible = false;
    Mouse.cursor = MouseCursor.BUTTON;
//Mouse out use:
    Mouse.cursor = MouseCursor.AUTO;
    myMap.openHandCursorVisible = true;
