SlideView - Help Needed for 2 Major Issues

[Paul Hibbert]

Ender,

By using the message watcher I noticed a mouseLeave message being sent when swiping on the block.png image, so adding…

on mouseLeave
   if sSlideGrab is not empty then mouseUp
end mouseLeave

…to the script of group "thePanel" seems to help some issues.
