Capturing 2 mouse events at the same time

programming flash
1

Hi,

I’m trying to capture a mouse scroll when the mouse is held down. My code is basically:

addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mdown);


function mdown(e:MouseEvent):void {
	stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mup);
	addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, mwheel);
}
function mup(e:MouseEvent):void {
	stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, mwheel);
}
function mwheel(e:MouseEvent):void {
	trace("WHEEL IS SPUN");
}

But it appears that Flash can detect only 1 mouse event on one displayobject. Is there anyway around this?

Regards
