I'd suggest to use 1-pixel frame (maybe invisible) movieclip. Even better - 2 such frames,- say, 1 and 2 px from the edge of the stage. Then it can work as follows:
1) If mouse crosses one of frames, check (setInterval or onEnterFrame) if it'll cross other right after this. Then: 2) If inner-then-outer => likely it goes outside; if outer-then-inner => likely it came back. 3) You can use vars (boolean) like hasCrossedInner etc. Hope this can help. -- Best regards, Gregory_GOusable ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
