AS3: MOUSE_WHEEL issues

programming flash
1

I’ve noticed I can only get my MOUSE_WHEEL event listener to work in either ie or ff depending on the wmode set. But i cannot get it to work in both!!


aboutText_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, onMouseWheelEvent);

function onMouseWheelEvent(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    if(aboutText_mc.y > 450)
    {
        aboutText_mc.y= 450
        
    }else if(aboutText_mc.y >= 450 - aboutText_mc.height)
    {
        aboutText_mc.y = aboutText_mc.y + event.delta;
    }else if(aboutText_mc.y >= 450.)
    {
        aboutText_mc.y = aboutText_mc.y - event.delta;
    }else if(450 - aboutText_mc.height)
    {
        aboutText_mc.y = aboutText_mc.y +10;
    }

}

Is there anyway around this without using javascript? I tried adding a MOUSE_OVER event which triggered a trace call but again would not call the MOUSE_WHEEL event.

ANy ideas appreciated
