If I create a button using the rectangle tool in the resulting .swf the mouse
becomes a hand when it moves over the button. But if I create a button using
the components panel it remains a pointer at all times. Is it possible to get
the mouse to become a hand when it moves over a button created using component
panel? Thanx

give the component instance an instance name, e.g.: my_btn
attach script below to keyframe.

Great - thanks
