buttonMode Assistance

I wanted to try and go the extra 10 yards. (related to the netsteam project/problem I'm working through).

Something Im trying to do:

When a button is clicked, another button tweens in, when the second button tweens in, I remove the listener from the first button

(adds the listener again on the first, by clicking the second)

Is there a way to use the buttonmode (or something else) to stop the icon from appearing as a pointer (clickable)

(so the icon pointer/finger dosen't show).

Thanks (This is a great forum community...Very Helpful!)
