onReleaseOutside (MovieClip.onReleaseOutside handler)

Invoked after a user presses the mouse button inside the movie clip area and then releases it outside the movie clip area.

You must define a function that executes when the event handler is invoked. You can define the function on the timeline or in a class file that extends the MovieClip class or is linked to a symbol in the library.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example defines a function for the onReleaseOutside() method that sends a trace() action to the Output panel:

my_mc.onReleaseOutside = function () {
    trace("onReleaseOutside called");
}
