Yeah, but the behavior in SWF8 on windows and OSX is different. The case that I'm dealing with is if the user
1) brings up a context menu 2) does not mouse down on any context menu item 3) then moves the mouse outside of the context menu and clicks left In Firefox, on Windows you get mousedown/mouseup/click events sent to the view, but in OSX, you don't get any mouse events. In IE7, you get mousedown/mouseup events but no click event. So, it seems pretty hard to get all these cases to match, even in swf; maybe there is a "ideal" behavior we should be trying to nudge things into as we get the opportunities. I was thinking of the user who popped up a context menu just to look at it, but then wants to dismiss it without affecting anything, so I was looking for ways to discard the mouse events associated with that gesture. And it happened that I was referring to the behavior of swf8 in OSX, which is unfortunately different from Windows...
