Does anyone have a working solution for listening when the stage is deactivated and activated?

Event.ACTIVATE & Event.DEACTIVATE is being used with EVENT.MOUSE\_LEAVE and MouseEvent.MOUSE\_MOVE to listen but it’s a little buggy. When I switch between Firefox tabs it works fine. However, when I have the Firefox window open and select another window, deactivating the Firefox window, then the DEACTIVE and MOUSE\_LEAVE don’t work.
