Hi,
Have a look at this tutorial:
http://www.monkeyflash.com/flash/drag-and-drop-in-as3/
You may want to be looking at / checking if event.target.dropTarget
for the MOUSE_UP handler.
This post gives you a better idea about MOUSE_LEAVE:
http://www.ericd.net/2007/09/mouseleave-annoyance.html
Basically, if your mouse leaves the stage area I would suggest
"dropping" what you are dragging - look at the currentTarget of the
MOUSE_LEAVE event for the "draggee" rather than target, which will be
the stage.

Thanks for the information. I think that may be part of my problem. I
tried out the code on that site and Flash does not like the following
circle.contains(event.target)
If I take that out the code runs, but of course doesn't work.
Does anyone know where I can find a good example on how to do a drag and
drop in as3? I never had issues with this in 2.
Thanks!
Susan

You might need to add the "releaseOutside" hack for AS3, since there
is no releaseOutside anymore:

Hi there,
I am having problems with my event listener for my drag and drop.
Sometimes it detects the mouse up event and sometimes it doesn't and
won't let go of the object (stopDrag). Have any of you ever run into
this? If so, is there a fix?
Basically I have this coding...
function stopDragging(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("mouse up")
// There is more function code I just didn't want to paste
it all in.
}
Triggered by:
for (i= 0; i < aButtons.length; i++) {
aButtons[i].mouseChildren = false;
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
startDragging);
aButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
stopDragging);
}
Any ideas?
