Elsewhere in the code I'd set the textfield's selectable property to false.
When I set the selectable to true in the textfield.click handler,
Event.MOUSE_LEAVE no longer fires on right-click. Problem solved!

Subject: [Flashcoders] RE: right-click triggers MOUSE_LEAVE?
Code that illustrates the behavior I'm trying to avoid:
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, stageOffHandler);
// embed code is a dynamic textfield
embedCode.text = 'Here is somer text';
embedCode.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, selectAllEmbedCode);
function selectAllEmbedCode(e:MouseEvent) {
e.target.setSelection(0, e.target.text.length);
}
function stageOffHandler(e:Event) {
// I don't want this to fire on RIGHT_CLICK
trace('mouse is off stage or right mouse button clicked');
embedCode.visible = false;
}

Subject: [Flashcoders] right-click triggers MOUSE_LEAVE?
I want to allow users to copy text from a dynamic text field. When I
right-click on the textfield the MOUSE_LEAVE event fires (which hides the
textfield - I intend for MOUSE_LEAVE to hide the textfield).
Googling, I find no results of someone else experiencing the problem I'm
assuming this isn't the expected behavior but am at a loss for looking what is
causing this in my code, there's no RIGHT_CLICK listener and from within a
class, I have
_stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, videoOffHandler);
where _stage is a reference to the Document class.
