Actually you are binding to the '<code>selected</code>' property of a different control. You cannot bind to the '<code>enabled</code>' property. The following would not work: <pre class="code"> <mx:LinkButton id="linkButton" label="Default LinkButton" enabled="{checkBox.selected}" useHandCursor="{linkButton.enabled}" /> </pre> @Geert

No… Actually you are binding to the ‘selected‘ property of a different control.

You cannot bind to the ‘enabled‘ property. The following would not work:

<mx:LinkButton id="linkButton"
            label="Default LinkButton"
            enabled="{checkBox.selected}"
            useHandCursor="{linkButton.enabled}" />

Setting the '<code>useHandCursor</code>' property to the same value as the '<code>enabled</code>' property works just fine: <pre class="code"> <mx:LinkButton id="linkButton" label="Default LinkButton" enabled="{checkBox.selected}" useHandCursor="{checkBox.selected}" /> </pre> Why would you need to extend the LinkButton?
Setting the ‘useHandCursor‘ property to the same value as the ‘enabled‘ property works just fine:

<mx:LinkButton id="linkButton"
            label="Default LinkButton"
            enabled="{checkBox.selected}"
            useHandCursor="{checkBox.selected}" />
