Q: I need a way to turn the cursor into a hand cursor when someone mouses over the Accordion Panes. Can you please let me know if you can make this happen?

A: Attached is a fla file which contains the actionscript that will allow you to use handCursor on Accordion Panel's items. However, below is the full commented actionscript you need.

//Set the property useHandCursor to true for the accordion's headers
//First we have to listen for an event that is dispatched after all the component is drawn
var lis={}
lis.onDrawComplete=function(){
    if(accordionPanel.items){
        //We traverse the children list and for every item we set its header's useHandCursor property to true 
        for(var i in accordionPanel.items){
            accordionPanel.items[i]._header.useHandCursor=true
        }
    }
   
}
//accordionPanel is the instance name of your panel component on stage
accordionPanel.addEventListener("onDrawComplete",lis);

See the attached file.
