I see. I dind't realize you were saying that MOUSE_LEAVE doesn't work properly in IE at all. I thought you were saying that startDrag() was messing it up. So yeah, I tried it myself and it isn't working right. I don't think you even need to startDrag(), just listen for MOUSE_LEAVE and it seems you don't get it.

MOUSE_UP_OUTSIDE_STAGE accurately describes what happens in Firefox, but in IE nothing fires at all. If you run the code from my initial post in both browsers you will see what I mean. > It does not fire when you drag out of the stage. Not sure what you mean by that since in order to know about a MOUSE_UP_OUTSIDE_STAGE the mouse button would obviously have to be down when the mouse leaves the stage. > you can do that How? > (but you can't change the mouse cursor position) Not sure I follow.
