We use MOUSE_LEAVE successfully in Flex. Maybe post a simple test case. Alex Harui Flex SDK Developer Adobe Systems Inc.<http://www.adobe.com/> Blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui

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"); } --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > A mouseup off-stage is usually sent as EVENT.as:MOUSE_LEAVE > > Alex Harui > Flex SDK Developer > Adobe Systems Inc.<http://www.adobe.com/> > Blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui > > From: [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>] On > Behalf Of graham.t...@... > Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 1:44 PM > To: [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: stage mouseUp not firing outside app window > > > I gave it a shot, but the behavior was the same: click-drag from a label to > somewhere off the application screen won't report a rollOut or subsequent > mouseUp. > > So I begin to think I simply can't track click-drag's off screen (or that > they even went off-screen).
