Message Path and Groups Oddity

[Phil Davis]

I don't know if it will make THE difference but you could try:

_on mouseDown
___hide group "frontGroup" of this card
___pass mouseDown   <---- add this line
  _end mouseDown

I'm thinking maybe the mouseUp isn't sent if there was no mouseDown 
before it.
