Detect Mouse Off Stage

[kitster79]

I have a movie clip button that fills the stage - therefore the problem I have is that when I mouse off the button, the movie clip does not trigger the rollOut event.

I have been told I can either some as3 script for this or javascript - I just have no idea how. Can anyone help me to write this code?

Thanks

You can use a listener on the stage for the Event.MOUSE_LEAVE event.

Here are the event listeners for AS:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, function(e:MouseEvent):void{
    trace('mouse is on the stage');
});

stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, function(e:Event):void{
    trace('mouse has left the stage');
});

stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, function(e:Event):void{
    trace('swf has lost focus');
}); 

You can also listen to the mouse through js...here's a good example of that.
