Can't pick the mousecolor with brush tool while mousedown

Hello,
I want to draw a line on an image with the brush tool. Depending on the
mousecolor I have to change the brushcolor to get a good contrast. Lets make
it easy with black and white. On the black parts of the image I want to draw
a white line and on the white parts of the image I want to draw a black
line. The thing is, that it must be a nonstop line, which changes
automatically it's color, depending on the background color of the image. So
no mousedowns or ups to pick a new mousecolor.
on mouseEnter
choose brush tool
end mouseEnter
on mouseMove -- same with mouseStillDown
if the mousecolor is "255,255,255" then
set the brushcolor to black
else
set the brushcolor to white
end if
end mouseMove
The problem is, that I get the mousecolor with the pointer tool (mouseUp and
mouseDown), but with the brush tool I get the mousecolor only while mouseUp.
So the color doesn't changes while drawing, only when I pick a new mouseup.
Has anybody experienced the same behavior and has found a workaround? Or any
idea what to try? Is it a bug, or am I missing something?
Thanks
Tiemo
