Are you displaying the mouse position and just want the position not to be displayed when it's out of a certain rectangle for instance?

Work out what your window position is on the stage (in pixels) and then check to see if the mouse has gone outside it with an if statement.

For a window 200 x 200 pixels placed 100 pixels down from the top of the screen and 100 pixels in from the left your if statement would be...

if(_root._xmouse>100 && _root._xmouse<300 && _root._ymouse >100 && _root._ymouse<300){
//do your stuff here
}
