Not sure if I’m missing sth or is it just a bug.

I have a movieclip on stage, it’s a simple rectangle drawn with a rect tool (no stroke)

I add an event listener to trace out the mouseX, works OK so far.  
When I increase its width the mouseX traces wrong values.

Here’s a sample code:

```auto

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, stageResize);

function stageResize(e:Event):void
{
    rect.width = stage.stageWidth - 50;
}

rect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rectClick);

function rectClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    trace(rect.mouseX);
    trace(rect.width);
}

```

So when the stage is resized, rect.mouseX gives me the values like the rect was never resized.
