So I begin to think I simply can't track click-drag's off screen (or that they even went off-screen). I'm working on a particular scrolling feature; so this is problematic, given that users can click-drag from anywhere in my container. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Fotis Chatzinikos <fotis.chatzini...@...> wrote: > > did you try on the Application.application (might be the same as stage but > you never know...) > > On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 6:53 PM, graham.t...@... < > graham.t...@...> wrote: > > > 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.
