statements
}
Description
The onReleaseOutside() event typically indicates that the user changed his mind after
clicking on a button, moving the pointer off the button before releasing the mouse button.
The onReleaseOutside() event handler is executed when the following sequence is detected:
1. The mouse pointer is in the hit area of
theButton.
2. The primary mouse button is pressed and held (the onPress() event occurs).
3. The mouse pointer moves out of
theButton’s hit area (the onDragOut() event occurs).
4. The primary mouse button is released while the pointer is no longer in the hit area of
theButton.
You will rarely bother to detect onReleaseOutside() events, as they usually indicate that the
user intended not to perform any action.
Example
cancel_btn.onReleaseOutside = function () {
trace("releaseOutside detected");
}
