ActionScript 3 textfield disable default cursor -

i'm looking way in actionscript 3 allow user scroll textfield (left right) if amount of text greater textfield's width without cursor changing flashing i.

the textfield inside movieclip. cannot use mousechildren = false , selectable = false both stop textfield being scrollable.

any ideas?

well, simplest way set mytextfield.selectable = false. cursor doesn't change , text field's content remains scrollable. maybe missed here, works on simple test.
