Buttons remaining in down state on IOS after touching them

Question

I am having an issue where my buttons are remaining in the down state after being clicked.

My app is being published in Flash CS6 with Air 3.4 for iPad only with rendering mode Auto.

My button is just a button where I have used a different graphic for each state.

I have tried each of the following events, all of which result in the same issue.

	splashMC.optionsBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickOptionsButton);
	splashMC.helpBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, clickHelpButton);
	splashMC.testBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickTestButton);

I do notice if I touch the screen away from the button after touching the button, the button returns to the correct up state. So it is almost as if it is not detecting the finger has been removed from the button until I touch elsewhere.

Is this a bug or a minsunderstanding on my behalf?

Try to imagine where the cursor is after you have released the button. I believe that on iOS the mouse is effectively stashed away somewhere, but on Android the invisible cursor is left where it is. Or the other way around! That leaves the cursor as if it's still over the button.

So, make your over state look the same as your up state.
