Hi!

How can I make mouse wheel work instantly when movie  
has loaded? There is a example in Flash 8 Help section.  
But I have to click on the stage before the wheel starts  
to work?!

[INDENT]var mouseListener:Object = new Object();  
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {  
clip\_mc.\_x += delta;  
}

Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() {  
trace(“Down”);  
};
