Well here's what I did...  The Stage object is funky and doesn't work properly
so I made an empty movie clip the width and height of the stage and gave it an
instance name of myMC.  I put a dynamic text box on the stage so that when the
mouse went out of bounds, text would be written to the text box... I gave the
dynamic text box a variable name of box.  Here's the code with the Stage object
commented out since I couldn't get it to work properly.  onMouseMove =
function() {     //stageBegX = Stage.width - Stage.width ;     //stageEndX =
Stage.width;     //stageBegY = Stage.height - Stage.height;     //stageEndY =
Stage.height;     stageBegX = myMC._width - myMC._width;     stageEndX = myMC._width;
    stageBegY = myMC._height - myMC._height;     stageEndY = myMC._height;
    if(_xmouse<=stageBegX) {         box = 'out of bounds left';     }
    if(_xmouse>=stageEndX) {         box = 'out of bounds right';     }
    if(_ymouse<=stageBegY) {         box = 'out of bounds top';     }
    if(_ymouse>=stageEndY) {         box = 'out of bounds bottom';     } }   I noticed that
this worked best with the following publish settings on the HTML tab...
