Hello, I'm writing a small drawing program and wonder what is the best method to limit mouse dragging area? 1. if (mouseX 100) {...} 2.Event.MOUSE_LEAVE or any other? Could you advice? Thank you in advance, Ktt ___ Flashcoders mailing list

I just used the mouse out/up combo to stop the drawing. The drawing area I used was a canvas object in flex (for liquid resizing). Using flex, the drawing was constrained to only draw in the canvas'd bounds which made it a non-issue to control bounds. But still, mouse out event will fire when you
