Hi Erik,
I'm not saying Adobe would make a change to AIR, but they might have an idea
for a workaround we haven't considered.
It has been a long time since I wrote code for Microsoft Windows apps, but I
think the default behavior is that a resizable OS window doesn't require
managing mouse events, just responding to a resize event as well. There are
probably ways to get the mouse events and forward them, but the x,y coordinates
would be outside the stage dimensions.
BTW, did you check if you get a MOUSE_LEAVE event?
To me, this is similar to any animation problem in Flash/AIR. You are trying
to hit a particular frame rate, and screen update time is too long. One
quick/cheap hack to try is to defer the entire resize update via callLater.
More sophisticated implementations queue the deferred work and make decisions
about how to respond when things are in the queue.

Thanks, Alex, but spending time optimizing this kludge just isn't worth the
effort with my current backlog. Just wish there was a better way, a correct
way.
I could log a feature request on Adobe, but it would never get enough
votes. Just seems a no-brainer that the AIR runtime should fire a MOUSE_UP
event to the stage when the user releases the mouse while dragging the chrome,
or allow accessing the chrome from the app and adding event listeners. Seems
simple enough. They do it already for resize, why not mouse up?
Thanks.

Erik,
Did you also ask on the Adobe forums?
I'm not sure that AIR will give you mouse events when the mouse is
interacting with the "chrome" of a Window. IOW, I don't think the mouse ever
touched the pixels that represent the SWF content.
You could write a test to see if the resize event interval is dependent on
how long it takes for your app to respond to a resize event. Create a
HelloWorld app that will redraw very quickly and see if you get resize events
more often.
If AIR can deliver resize events at, say 50ms in a simple app, then you can
consider making changes to your app to respond to resize more quickly. You can
use the performance profilers to see if there are bottlenecks responding to
resize. You can also consider deferring certain kinds of work via callLater.

Yeah, I figured I'd have to use a timer kludge like in the SO thread.
Just one more of those things about AIR that annoys me.
I've implemented that pattern and it's working, though the resize events
fire at roughly 200ms intervals during a drag. A 50ms timer interval suggested
in SO of course couldn't work. I had to implement a 300ms timer interval to be
reliably notified only after the resizing process ends with the user releasing
the mouse capture.
But it should be possible to get the mouse up event after the resize.
That should be considered a bug in AIR, IMO.
The timer kludge results in delaying a REST API call for 300ms from the
last resize event is received, making the app appear noticeably unresponsive.
Thanks for your response, Kyle. I guess I'll just have to live with it.
Cheers
Erik

I can't think of any way to do so.
