Many thanks for your response! I was hoping for the mouseUp, but I did try the rollOut, as you suggested. I couldn't even get it to work on Stage. SystemManager worked fine on a normal rollOut, but it worked only intermittently (I know that sounds strange, but it's what it is) on a click-drag from the label.
Attempts: //systemManager.topLevelSystemManager.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,onRollOut); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,onRollOut); --- In [email protected], Fotis Chatzinikos <fotis.chatzini...@...> wrote: > > I think this is a known problem...
