I’ve got a lil widget that has a scrollbar, and its in as3, and when your dragging the scrollbar thumb, and move the mouse outside the boundaries of the swf, like to the right a lil, it stops scrolling, stops registering the mouses movement because the mouse is currently not in the swf. Is there a way around this? Ted on flex had a drag prototype that resolved it, but it doesn’t work in as3, ironically.  
Thanks
