[osflash] Mouse out of Stage solved?

[Zippy Doo]

Its not my example unfortunately.  I spotted it on the web recently.

Really i'm looking to restart a discussion about possible ways to reproduce.

I'm frankly baffled.  And its the first time i've ever seen a flash movie
(other than beautiful design) and deeply wondered "how the hell?"

However I think previously discussion about this issue has started and
finished with :

"its not possible, use javascript".  Now we see an examaple of the possible
its perhaps simpler to find a solution.

My initial thoughts tend down the route of complexity:  One method that
works is to detect an unmoving mouse and fire an out of bounds call on that
- obviously this fails (drastically) when the mouse is intentionally still
over the banner.  Perhaps this method can be combined with an examination of
a  vector (speed and direction) of the last known movement - was this
heading towards the border at a speed over x (where x is some value
representing the limits of flashes mouse accuracy).

Any others?
