You mentioned that Flex blocks other mouse events while dragging and dropping. I can't confirm whether or not that is true, but I have an idea of what you can try. Are you implementing the drag and drop using the "drag" properties? Like dragEnabled, dropEnabled, dragOver, etc...? If you are, perhaps these convenience versions of drag and drop do not fit your needs. You may need to implement drag and drop yourself so that you can have full access to the "mouse up" and "mouse down" events during the process. Here's a link detailing how to roll your own drag and drop in Flex, which will in turn let you have more control over the mouse events and likely let you get the scene coordinates you are looking for:
