Its not my example unfortunately.  I spotted it on the web recently.

Really i'm looking to restart a discussion about possible ways to reproduce.

I'm frankly baffled.  And its the first time i've ever seen a flash movie
(other than beautiful design) and deeply wondered "how the hell?"

However I think previously discussion about this issue has started and
finished with :

"its not possible, use javascript".  Now we see an examaple of the possible
its perhaps simpler to find a solution.

My initial thoughts tend down the route of complexity:  One method that
works is to detect an unmoving mouse and fire an out of bounds call on that
- obviously this fails (drastically) when the mouse is intentionally still
over the banner.  Perhaps this method can be combined with an examination of
a  vector (speed and direction) of the last known movement - was this
heading towards the border at a speed over x (where x is some value
representing the limits of flashes mouse accuracy).

Any others?

 i second that ian; really sounds interesting.

the only thing we seem to have missed is: where are the sources of this
example???
have you posted it already or when are you planing to release them zippy
doo?

or did we misunderstood your posting and you are searching for the sources
of this
example yourself  :-\

tia!

That's very interesting - I've had exactly the same problems as you
and would like to see how it's done.

And no, I don't consider it OT at all.

 OT?: Apologies if this *is* off topic, I thought an open solution to this
common problem would be useful.  I dont think any exisits as yet, infact
the problem may of been given up on as unsolvable.  Id hoped this example
may reignite inquiry?

OnRollOut will not work - if you move the mouse too fast off the stage,
flash will not respond to the rollOut (as the mouse has moved move pixels
per tick than flash can check i guess).  In this case the x,y position of
the mouse becomes 'stuck' somewhere on the flash movie.  Its only in AS3 we
have the introduction of the new On Stage Leave event.

However this solution and an invisible border - will capture +/- 95% of
mouse out cases.  The example I posted, to the best of my knowledge seems to
capture 100%.

 There is nothing special, a simple onRollOut/onRollOver with a button
covering the whole stage is always working. But this is slightly
off-topic I think.
