Thanks for the great code! I have a quick question though. Is there anyway to kill off its support once initialized? On my project, I need normal mouse wheel functionality to occur everywhere except with 1 popup window in my flash app. I initialize it when the popup is displayed, but then want to restore normal mouse wheel support so the mouse wheel will scroll the browser window again once the popup is closed. Currently, once initialized, I can’t seem to restore normal browser scrolling when over the embed flash app.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help!

At least in Chrome and havarie, in firefox not.

Scrollbars do NOT work at all even on windows.

Does this work with FP 10.1 ? Is it even necessary, or is the bug fixed? Thanks

hi there, looks great but can’t get a simple test to work. i’m sure its something simple i’m misunderstanding about implementing or doing wrong. here is my code written in Flash CS3:

import org.hasseg.externalMouseWheel.ExternalMouseWheelSupport;
var _mwSupport:ExternalMouseWheelSupport = ExternalMouseWheelSupport.getInstance(stage);

_mwSupport.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, mouseWheelListener);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveListener);

var output:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(output);

function mouseWheelListener(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//
output.text = "wheelie";
trace("wheelie");
}

function mouseMoveListener(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//
output.text = "movie";
trace("movie");
}

any help greatly appreciated! thanks

Anyone got this working with swfobject.js v2.2?

I’m using FlashBuilder and cannot get this to work with Firefox using swfobject 2.2.

Safari works when I add the second DIV around flashContent like so:

….

Firefox shows nothing….The outer div is showing (I’ve added content to show that). But the inner div seems to be set to nothing.
