is it possible for flash to detect off-stage mouse coordinates in order to continuously drag an object within its bounds while the mouse is moving outside of the stage?
for example: i have a draggable red square on my stage. the stage is the bounds of the drag. if i drag the red square to the bottom of the stage and continue to drag outside of and around the stage, i’d like the red square to continue moving within it’s bounds, following the mouse coordinates.
currently, dragging halts as soon as i leave the stage and the red square only begins to move with the mouse coordinates if i reenter the stage bounds.
Flash won’t get mouse events when the mouse is out side its stage area; so I’m afraid you can’t do this.
