MouseOut event seems to cancel Click event

Question

Im using a state for rollovers of a button, and a state for
the click of the same button, this causes a problem when the user
clicks the button. Instead of the click state being activated
instead i see a brief blinking of the click state and then suddenly
the app reverts to the mouseOut state, how can I tell FLEX that the
click event is more important then the mouseOut event?
EXAMPLE
<mx:Canvas mouseOver="currentState='rollOver'"
mouseOut="currentState='rollOut'"
click="currentState='clicked'">
in this example, when you click the canvas you will end up at
the "rollOut" state instead of the "clicked" state but it appears
the clicked state may be displayed for a brief moment as the app
kind of blinks before showing the "rollOut" state. Oh and I've
tried to remove the event listener on click but it doesn't appear
to be fired as the event listener is not removed. HELP!?!

How bout
mouseOut="currentState!='clicked'?currentState='mouseOut':currentState='clicked'"
or mouseOut="mouseOutHandler()"
private function mouseOutHandler():void{
if (currentState!='clicked') currentState='mouseOut';
