Cant make Application.captureMouse work

[myxus]

In Initialize script i've typed Application.captureMouse = true; and wrote a simple test script in flash.

_root.onMouseUp = function() {
myTextField.text = Math.random();
};

Then, while the app is running, i press left mouse button inside the app window, move mouse cursor outside and release the button. And my app is unable to fix this event. What's wrong?

Thx in advance.

When you click the swf movie, if there is not any component, in the mouse down event handler, the flash player will release capture. Therefore you cannot capture mouse, although you have set capture in the "initialize" script. In fact, even if you set capture in the onMouseDown function, it does not work.

To solve the problem, you will have to set capture in the onMouseMove event handler, as shown in the following actionscript 2 code

import SWFKit.*;

clicked = false;

_root.onMouseDown = function () {
clicked = true;
_root.onMouseMove = function() {
if (clicked) {
Application.captureMouse = true;
delete _root.onMouseMove;
}
}
}

_root.onMouseUp = function () {
clicked = false;
Application.captureMouse = false;
Dialogs.msgBox("hello");
}

What a tricky method! -)
