I have added the functionality to give the user the option to export the map to a jpeg from the right click context menu.  When I right click on my Map to get the context menu using Internet Explorer, the mouse (cursor) disappears.  I can still pick a menu choice, and it reappears on a left click, but it is quite annoying. Does anyone know of a fix?

I am using the Adobe 3.3 SDK, Flash Player 10.1, and the 1.3 ESRI API.

Thanks,

Robert,
  Thanks!  That fixed it.  I just added the code below to my index.html in the params section (I'm not using a wrapper file, but rather a swfobject generated index file).

if (swfobject.ua.ie && swfobject.ua.win) // http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api
{
    params.wmode = "opaque"; // workaround for cursor issue - https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-26818
}
