I have a flash movie that is a longer than the page, and when the flash movie is selected the mouse wheel doesn't scroll the page.
I know why this is, but I am wondering if there is a way to page scroll in the browser window when the flash movie is in focus. I'm guessing that maybe javascript or something would be a solution, but not sure.
You mean you know that the mouse wheel doesn't work with flash at all?Quote:

But, I want the mouse wheel to scroll the browser page, even when flash is in focus.
Right, and I said that the Mouse Wheel Doesn't Work with Flash, ever. At least this is what I've learned over the years.Quote:

within flash.
I actually want the mousewheel to control the browser window, regardless of whether flash is in focus or not. So I am guessing that I would need to add a listener and then somehow tell the browser window to scroll up/down as I move the mouse wheel.
Anyone ever do this ?
I might be able to put something together just based on this javascript method.
Capture the mousewheel motion and then use ExternalAPI to call a javascript, which will then tell the browser to scroll.
Problem is, in the browser, seems mouseWheel doesnt work
Here's a solution I found:
