I think it is a pure technical problem not related to open source
things, but this is my opinion only :)

Well, I never experienced problems with detecting when the mouse rolls
out of a Flash movie. There is a movie, which detects roll out/over
and I couldn't make it go wrong (I mean the buttons always slide in
and out according to roll over and roll out):

Maybe I'm simply not fast enough to move the mouse off the stage and
keep the movie hanging :) Can you make it 'stuck'? Please notify me on
success! Thanks :)

I agree, an invisible border is a poor solution.
