Code that illustrates the behavior I'm trying to avoid: stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, stageOffHandler);

I want to allow users to copy text from a dynamic text field. When I right-click on the textfield the MOUSE_LEAVE event fires (which hides the textfield - I intend for MOUSE_LEAVE to hide the textfield). Googling, I find no results of someone else experiencing the problem I'm assuming this isn't the expected behavior but am at a loss for looking what is causing this in my code, there's no RIGHT_CLICK listener and from within a class, I have _stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, videoOffHandler); where _stage is a reference to the Document class. _ _ _ Erik Mattheis Senior Web Developer Minneapolis T 952 346 6610 C 612 377 2272 Weber Shandwick Advocacy starts here.
