Hey Glen when you say "your mouse up is outside the stage" do you mean
that the mouse up is occurring outside of the dragged object in which
case the object catching the up event is the stage object. (Rest of
your sentence seems to imply that.)
Susan, if you imagine your cursor moving faster than the drag object
can keep up then what happens is the mouse up occurs outside of the
object but since there is no built in mouseUpOutside event you are
going to have to build your own. If you google "senocular as3
mouseupoutside" you should get some good hits on tutorials explaining
how to use the stage object to catch these mouse up events.

Hi,
It could be because your mouse up is outside the stage - I have
had problems with that - search for "MOUSE_LEAVE" or something
similar - it maybe on the stage object.

Hi there,
I am having problems with my event listener for my drag and drop.
Sometimes it detects the mouse up event and sometimes it doesn't and
won't let go of the object (stopDrag). Have any of you ever run into
this? If so, is there a fix?
Basically I have this coding...
function stopDragging(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("mouse up")
// There is more function code I just didn't want to paste
it all in.
}
Triggered by:
for (i= 0; i < aButtons.length; i++) {
aButtons[i].mouseChildren = false;
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
startDragging);
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragging);
}
Any ideas?
