That took some legwork. The short of it is that the behavior appears in IE, but not Firefox.
The current system that I'm using for testing is Windows XP, Flash Player 10 (10.0.12.36) Debug, Flex SDK 3.2.0. IE is 7.0.5730.11CO. Firefox is 3.0.5. I can also describe the IE behavior more precisely. Assert: When you click-drag off the browser application window and then release your mouse button, you should get mouseLeave. In Firefox, it works consistently. In IE (for me), it works inconsistently. In particular, it behaves in one of two ways: (1) If I click-drag up off the label and onto the browser tab bar or if I click-drag left without leaving the bounds of the label until moving off the browser window, I do get mouseLeave, but I get mouseLeave as soon as I leave the application windowjust as if I weren't click-dragging but I were just mousing over. (2) If I click-drag down off the label and _then_ left off the application window, I get no mouseLeave at all. --- In [email protected], Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > MouseLeave for me on windows.
