If I mouse-down in Flash application, move the mouse out of the browser window (with the button still down) and then release the mouse, no event is sent to the plug-in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the test file
2. Mouse down in the yellow box
3. Drag the mouse out of the browser window
4. Release the mouse
Actual Results:  
No mouseup event is sent

Expected Results:  
The test application prints each mousedown and mouseup event, whether the mouse is released inside or outside the browser window.

The test file works correctly under Firefox on Windows and under Safari on the Mac.

do you see this problem if you use flash version 10, and FF 3.x beta http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

If not, please close with resolution set to worksforme.

Still broken in 3.1b3/Flash 10

Anyone can test this.  Just load the provided test file.  Click and hold on the yellow box that is displayed, you will see "INFO: onmousedown".  If you let go of the mouse _in_ the browser window, you will see "INFO: onmouseup".  If instead, you click and hold starting _in_ the browser window, drag the mouse _out_ of the browser window, and release outside the browser window, you never get the mouse up event.

This test file works correctly in Safari.

I guess reproducing a Mac OS X only bug on Windows won't succeed ;-)

But, testing on Mac OS X, it seems this bug has been resolved somewhere between 3.1 and 3.5, because the test case now works.
