SimpleMouseEvents (onReleaseOutside, onDragOut,…)
May 21st, 2007
Some of the most confronted issues in AS3 are the missing mouse events as onReleaseOutside, onDragOut, onDragOver and so on. I saw that question over all boards. While coding the TR909, I had the same problem and I tried to figure out a common solution. I wrote a wrapper class, which adds itself as a listener to the passed target object. It takes care of the fact, that the stage can be null (required for releaseOutside) and the stage focus. It also provides (if necessary) the trackAsMenu mode to receive onDragOut, onDragOver, if the target itself doesn't have the focus.
