Many thanks for the response!
For me, this is behaving just like mouseUp.
I do get a mouseLeave when I mouse out of the application, and I _can_ get one
when I click-drag out of the application.
However, I do _not_ get a mouseLeave when I click on the label and drag out of
the application (and release the mouse).
If I happened to click on that label, then I can't get it to work, and I need
it no matter where (or what) I click on the stage.
I added the following to my prior test:
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, onMouseLeave);
and
private function onMouseLeave(e:Event):void
{
trace ("onMouseLeave");
}
