In my current Flex-based project, I am creating several labels that act like hyperlinks but was having trouble changing the cursor type to the traditional “hand.”  After some moderate searching, I found out that you have to declare three properties:

useHandCursor = true;
buttonMode = true;
mouseChildren = false;

With these properties set, the mouse cursor will now change to a hand. Simple!.
