I'm working on a 3D API (see <a href="http://directflex.net" rel="nofollow">http://directflex.net</a>) and performances are always an issue. It's just dumb to take the whole CPU power for an application thaht does not have the focus :P Thx again! Thanks for the tips!

From what I know there aren't problems on the Win platform and this affects only some version of Safari on Mac. Usually I was using this event for optimization issues, nothing that can cause big problems if not executed. If you want to be sure that the code is executed you can use the Event.MOUSE_LEAVE / MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE combination as explained in <a href="http://www.rblab.com/blog/2009/07/as3-snippet-detect-if-mouse-pointer-is-overout-of-the-stage-area/" rel="nofollow">this</a> post.
