Description

SDK 4.0.0.13875

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch the attached swf or compile the attached project.
2. Click & drag the mouse around in the yellow rectangle.
3. Do the same with the selected checkbox.

Actual Results:
As you can see, when using event.localX and event.localY (checkbox selected), there is lot of errors, the red rectangle has unpredictable behavior. When using event.stageX and event.stageY, everything works perfectly.
Unfortunately, we can't always use stage relative coordinates.

Expected Results:
Red rectangle should have same behavior independently of the checbox state, selected or not.

Workaround (if any):
