Is there any way to make Flash more lenient on its drag stopping?

Right now I have a scroller that, while it works fine, if you keep on pressing and go off of the scroller then release, it will continue to drag. Is there anyway to make it so that when you release the mouse button ANYWHERE at all it will stop the drag?

Also, for some reason, when you release the drag on this scroller, the cursor goes in to a perpetual state of the hand icon and, if you zoom in, you can’t move around the screen to change what you’re zooming in on. That doesn’t really matter, it’s just kind of weird. Is there any way to fix that?

If you use on (ReleaseOutside) or whatever that one is, it wont do that. put

on (releaseOutside){  
stopDrag();  
}

and then it will stopits drag.
