Hm… The title maybe isn’t clear enough, oh well.

I’m just wondering if Flash is designed to ALWAYS dispatch a MOUSE\_OUT after a MOUSE\_OVER?

Or will there ever be “hickups”, for example, if the mouse is hovering over an item, and then the SWF looses browser focus, or **anything** like that? Where you will get an OVER event, but you might not get an OUT event 100% of the time depending on the circumstances.

I’m not sure if there is any real way to test this without using brute force and repeated testing. :sigh:
