MouseWheel events in FireFox

programming flash
1

Hi! :beer:

Is it possible to catch Flash mouseWheel events in Firefox? I know it is possible if the Wmode is set to Window, but that really screws up performance of the flash movie. I understand that Firefox has a problem with mouseWheel events. I also found out that it has something to do with the flash movie losing focus in firefox. So I wrote this script so that the focus is directed always to the flash movie:


<div id="flashy"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">

    var flash = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "movie", "800", "600", "8");
    flash.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
    flash.write("flashy");
    setInterval("document.getElementById('flashy').focus();",250);

</script>

I used the SWFObject from deconcept to embed the movie and, at every 250 miliseconds, the browser gives focus to the flash content. But still doesnt work. I tried googling for a solution but still havent found one. So, any ideas?
