I want to record the mouse’s position on stage on entering the stage with out having to move the mouse.

\*\*In example:

I want to have an event occur only if the \*\ ***mouse Y position is greater than 200 when entering the stage.**

The only way i know to do is is setting up a MOUSE\_MOVE type, mouse event.

**here is my code:**

var Timer\_Down2:Timer = new Timer(10000)

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, slider\_down);

function slider\_down(event):void{

if (slider.y == (((stage.height - bottom\_banner.height) +.5) && (mouseY\<(stage.height -(slider.height + bottom\_banner.height))))){  
Timer\_Down2.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, slider\_down2);  
Timer\_Down2.start();  
trace(mouseY);  
}

}

thnx in advance
