Andengine onAreaTouched TouchEvent not working - ACTION_OUTSIDE & ACTION_CANCEL

I have a simple problem. I have a button on the screen. I want isActionDown to push the button down, and isActionUp to push the button back up again and make my character jump. But the problem is if I push the button down and drag away from it, the button stays pushed down. I would like the button to push back up again if the user drags away from it.

How can I create the desired affect? isActionCancel doesn't seem to do the trick.

    private void addButton(){
goB = new AnimatedSprite(240, 364, ResourceManager.getInstance().go_region, vbom){
    @Override
    public boolean onAreaTouched(final TouchEvent event, final float x, final float y){


        if (event.isActionDown()){
            goB.animate(new long[]{ 250 }, new int[] { 1 }, true);
            /*if(event.isActionCancel()){
                goB.animate(new long[]{ 250 }, new int[] { 0 }, true);
            }*/
        }
        if (event.isActionUp()){
            goB.animate(new long[]{ 250 }, new int[] { 0 }, true);
            fresh = true;
            playerBody.applyLinearImpulse(new Vector2(0, 45), playerBody.getPosition());
        }


        if (event.isActionCancel() || event.isActionOutside()){
            goB.animate(new long[]{ 250 }, new int[] { 0 }, true);
        }
        return true;
    }
};
goB.setScale(3);

registerTouchArea(goB);
attachChild(goB);

goB.animate(250);
}

I'm having the hardest time with this, and I've tried all sorts of variations of the code above. Please let me know if you have the solution.

Thanks for your help!
