The scroll wheel works in the flash swf, but now the entire page does not scroll with the scroll wheel unless I mouse over the browser’s scroll bar. (I added the listener to the textfield in the swf)

Any thoughts?

so.addParam(‘flashvars’, ”); <— no luck

if you get your ‘mess’ cleaned up, let me know… maybe we can get it working. send me a link…

thanx for replying so quickly..

1. for the “unlimited scroller” let’s hope dave has a problem with swfmacmousewheel and pass by -)..

2. I known it’s a browser problem, but there must be a way to tell safari the right way..in the next link it’s exceptionally the opposite:

3. my wish is to load a swf with a textarea in it..the only way I got it work is with an “old” textarea from flash mx..but I need a flash 8 textarea..
I tried also to set a preloader in the componet (via xml) but it shows exactly the same way, the preloader only at the end..

4. I have quite a mess in the files and if it works by you, the problem is surely in my mess..if I find the time to tidy up I will send you the code and link the content..

thanx

1. i’m not sure exactly how dave did it, but if i had to guess he may be resetting the mousewheel delta so the extra scrolling is not needed somehow … dave, how’d you do it?

2. (another guess)….the difference in scroll length between browsers may be from the way each browser registers mousewheel events.

3. how exactly do you want to use a preloader with the textArea? do you want the preloader to show while the text is loading into the component? or the loading of the swf with the textArea in it?

4. i’d like to see an example of this… i’ve had no problem using multiple instances of textAreas with the mouse enabled.

1. if you scroll over the limit up or down, you need to scroll it back before the content scrolls again. I see that dave fixed the problem, how?

2. safari scrolls 3 lines and the other browsers 1, is there a way to fix it?

3. there’s no preloader that works with the textarea, why? it shows the loader only at the end.

4. when you load 2 or more textareas, obviously with swfmacmousewheel, and continue loading other stuff(example: next section loaded via loadMovieNum or loadMovie), the browsers (all) crash when you scroll somewhere on the site. (I unloaded all the stuff before loading the next content.)

thanx,
oshi

i just added a datagrid to the example code to show usage of something other than the textArea… but it essentially works the same. let me know if this helps…

cheers
