Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a simple application using HDividedBox
2. Set params.wmode = "transparent" in index.template.html
3. Run the application
4. Click the left mouse button to select the divider
5. Move the mouse outside of the Flex application browser window
6. Release the mouse button.

Actual Results:

The icon for the divider remains as the selected icon, and moving the mouse, no matter where it is, will move the divider. The only way to get it to release is to click the mouse inside of the Flex application window area.

Expected Results:

The MOUSE_UP_SOMEWHERE event would get fired and caught.

Workaround (if any):

Click inside of the Flex application window to get the mouse to release control of the divider.
