I don't have Dir MX 2004 installed on this machine at the moment, but from memory,

as I recall, mouseOver and mouseDown are much more common triggers than mouseUp or mouseOut,
unless you're trying to build a counterintuitive interface

mouseUp should be the default state (ie: no button pushed, or the release of a button... easier to trigger on push than release)
mouseDown is the click action of pushing a button
mouseOver/Within is the normal rollover graphic trigger (mouse enters the active button area)
mouseOut/Leave is the typical revert action for a rollover (mouse leaves the active button rollover zone)

try swapping your mouseUp action/lingo with mouseDown and see if it tracks better.

MM support has a few technotes on mouseUp and active sprite issues...

see here if blocked by Flash element and here about "active sprites", among other results

The Director groups are usually very helpful and you'll often find the answer you seek has been sought before and posted, although it may mean wading through the threads a bit.
