Mouse.show( ) Method — make the mouse pointer appear

Availability

Flash 5

Synopsis

Mouse.show( )

Description

The show( ) method causes the default system mouse pointer to reappear after Mouse.hide( ) has been invoked. It can be used to provide a normal pointer at necessary times in a movie, such as when the user is expected to fill in a form. This is one way to handle the unfortunate appearance of the text I-beam when the system pointer is hidden.
