Simultaneous Mouse Press and Release

I just want to double check. Is it possible for Input to have both mousePressed and mouseReleased as true?

Well pressed would be clicked and released would be getting your finger off of the mouse button, so I would guess no? That would be like having the same boolean in a conditional for example, if(isClicked && !isClicked) I don’t think that would do anything.

Are you trying to achieve a mouse over effect? If so I would recommend Input.mouseUp ;D

I’m making a button and checking Input to decide how to change states. However, if the mouse is pressed and released on the same update cycle, I might miss the mouse press. On the other hand, I might make my class more bloated if I’m checking for press and release when it could never happen anyways.

Looking at net.flashpunk.utils.Input, it seems like mouseDown and mouseUp are mutually exclusive, but mousePressed and mouseReleased aren’t. So, you should check for both mousePress and mouseRelease.
