this is my scroll.a lame one.i want to do the scroll thingie with the wheel too.but i don t get this:  
[color=Navy]\*\*[size=3]Mouse.onMouseWheel[/size]

\*\*\*\*Availability

Flash- Player 6 (Windows only).

\*\*\*\*Usage

_someListener_.onMouseWheel = function ( [_delta_ [, _scrollTarget_] ] ) { // your statements here}

\*\*\*\*Parameters

_delta_ An optional number indicating how many lines should be scrolled for each notch the user rolls the mouse wheel. A positive _delta_ value indicates an upward scroll; a negative value indicates a downward scroll. Typical values are from 1 to 3; faster scrolling can produce larger values.

_scrollTarget_ An optional parameter that indicates the topmost movie clip instance under the mouse pointer when the mouse wheel is rolled. If you want to specify a value for _scrollTarget_ but don’t want to specify a value for _delta_, pass null for _delta_.

\*\*\*\*Returns

Nothing.

\*\*\*\*Description

Listener; notified when the user rolls the mouse wheel. To use the onMouseWheel listener, you must create a listener object. You can then define a function for onMouseWheel and use addListener() to register the listener with the Mouse object.

\*\*\*\*Note: Mouse wheel event listeners are available only in Windows versions of Flash Player.

\*\*\*\*Example

The following example shows how to create a listener object that responds to mouse wheel events. In this example, the _x_ coordinate of a movie clip object named clip\_mc changes each time the user rotates the mouse wheel:

var mouseListener:Object = new Object();mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) { clip\_mc.\_x += delta;}Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);The following example draws a line that rotates when you rotate the mouse wheel. Click the SWF file at runtime and then rotate your mouse wheel to see the movie clip in action.

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“line\_mc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());line\_mc.lineStyle(2, 0xFF0000, 100);line\_mc.moveTo(0, 100);line\_mc.lineTo(0, 0);line\_mc.\_x = 200;line\_mc.\_y = 200;var mouseListener:Object = new Object();mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta:Number) { line\_mc.\_rotation += delta;};mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() { trace(“Down”);};Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);\*\* [/color]
