mouseX mouseY update Issue

Question

mouseX and mouseY is not propery update based on the mouse postion. If I am moving the mouse slowinside the flash its working fine. When mouse moves on average speed out to stage it's value are not proper.

Look at the above link , Consider I am moving mouse out of stage with average speed it didn't show the end move of mouseX,mouseY. It remain some old value.

The above link stage has width of 400px. When I out from the stage it shows 327 or 349,etc... ofcource mouse cross the 400th px and coming out of stage. But mouseX keeps remain with some other older value.

The above link has "MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE" event. I tried with ENTER_FRAME event. Still the same issue is there...

How to solve this issue?

There is a difference between moving your mouse off the SWF content or click-dragging off the SWF content while still holding your mouse button down. Notice that the values continue to update if you click-drag off the SWF content in the example you posted.

If you need to get mouse coordinates outside your SWF without click-dragging you can set up communication between Javascript and the SWF. Here's an example: JS and AS3 mouse coordinates outside swf object | Nelson Diotto Tech Hive
