I had the luck today, to assist to a presentation from Laurent Haug, the guy behind Lift Conference and coComment. He made a very interesting talk.

LIFT is a gathering of talented observers, explorers, and builders who discuss the current challenges and creative solutions presented by emerging technologies. LIFT is three days to face cutting edge business models, bold predictions, radical thinking, and get new ideas to inject into your own part of the planet.

LIFT has a simple goal: connect people who are passionate about new applications of technology and propel their conversations into the broader world to improve life and work.
I couldn’t afford to go last year but this year I won’t miss it!
The program is incredibly interesting :)
If you happen to go to this conference send me a mail (hello AT metah DOT ch) so we can meet there. It is the 7-8-9 February 2007 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Tracking mouse leaving the Flash Player (AS3)

Actionscript 3.0 allow us to detect easily when the mouse leave the Flash Player, making it possible to avoid strange behavior of our clip. For example during “drag and drop” it can be useful to know when the mouse leave the stage. To do this you just have to use the Mouse Event : mouse_out ;)

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outHandler);
Were outHandler is the function called by the listener.

To have the movie work you will need the New Flash Player.
