		<title>[MentalNote] Hand cursor in Flex components</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's really impressive that we can do amazing things with Flex and that we can't show the hand cursor when the mouse is over a component in a straight forward and understandable way.
Every time I've needed to do that I've ended up very pissed off because I forget that the property useHandCursor=true doesn't show the [...]]]></description>
