Hello All!

I haven’t been able to figure out. Here’s the deal:

I want my flash movie to go to a specific frame when the user moves the cursor away from the actual swf file (rollout) in the html page.  
I tried different things, for instance having a big transparent movieclip in the background and use hitTest:

//this code is in the root level

this.createEmptyMovieClip(‘penCheck’, 100000);  
this.penCheck.ref = this;  
this.penCheck.onEnterFrame = function() {  
var hit = this.ref.stageArea.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true);  
if (!hit) {  
this.ref.gotoAndPlay(“rollout”);  
}  
};

This doesn’t work until the user clicks outside the flash (flash loses focus).

Any ideas?
