Apache – Use Flash as shell to load Flex app and pass URLVars

If Machine A is a Windows box, you can use Plink (part of PuTTY) with the -m parameter, and it will execute the local script on the remote server.

plink root@MachineB -m local_script.sh

If Machine A is a Unix-based system, you can use:

ssh root@MachineB 'bash -s' < local_script.sh

You shouldn't have to copy the script to the remote server to run it.

To set the the "Hand" cursor, as soon as the mouse hovers over a element you have to specify these properties:

  <mx:VBox 
       useHandCursor="true"
       mouseChildren="false"
       buttonMode="true">

However this only works for the Hand cursor. Also take care of the required mouseChildren attribute. You either have to set this to false to achieve the cursor for all contained items or you have to specify the attributes useHandCursor and buttonMode for all elements. However the side effect of settings mouseChildren to false is that all mouse events (mouseOver, mouseOut, click,...) on child elements will no longer work.

In case you want to use a different cursor than the hand cursor I am afraid you have only two possibilities:

• Replace the standard hand cursor by your cursor
• Use the mouseOver and mouseOut events to set the cursor programmatically.
