Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Listen for the Event.MOUSE_LEAVE on your stage
2. Hold the mouse down and leave the stage
3. Event is not triggered

Expected Results:
Event.MOUSE_LEAVE should be triggered.

Workaround:
When the mouse button is down, it will receive MOUSE_MOVE events all the time, both when the mouse is on stage and off stage, so you can simply check the stageX and stageY properties of the MouseEvent object and compare it to the stage boundaries to see whether the mouse is on or off stage.
