I would like to know how fast, flash player processes the Mouse movement? Does it process mouse movement at the same speed as the fps(frames/second) of the flash player .  
For example for a function added as a listener to Mouse movement

say,

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_MOVE, mouseMoveListener);

Does flash invoke this function ‘mouseMoveListener’ every time the mouse is moved? Is it done at the same speed at which the Operating system handles mouse move ? Or is it lesser? If so, then by what amount?

Thank you, I’d really appreciate any response 🙂
