Detecting Extended Mouse Movement

Is there any way to get the mouse location (or at least an estimate), even when it moves outside of the stage area?

The reason I need this is that I am trying to detect how fast and at what angle the cursor is moving, not necessarily the location of the mouse. It works fine until you move the mouse outside of the stage area, which happens a lot, and then just doesn’t record the mouse location until you move the mouse back on to the stage.
