scrolling is fun again!
Yeah! An other good day…
zillizi creates the ultimate solution for repairing mouse wheel support for flash/flex browser based projects.
Why? Well, Flash Player 10 came and CS4 is here too.., but unfortunately still no complete and correct support for the mouse wheel. OS X people will know this: The mouse wheel just doesn’t work on a mac. What many people don’t know is that it also doesn’t work on Safari on a PC. To add to this confusion, when you enter fullscreen mode, it DOES work. Even on systems where the mouse wheel is supported we dare to say that its behavior is little awkward.
So this component does two things. First, it enables the mouse wheel for OS X plus Safari on PC. Secondly it corrects strange usability behavior that occurs when you have HTML content that is higher then the window height (the vertical scollbar is visible in the HTML window).
Above all the component is very very simple to use. Drop it in your project (flash, flex or plain actionscript), add one line of code and forget about it. Really… forget about it.
This is obligatory stuff for every UI Designer who is developing Flash or Flex projects for the web.
