Scroll wheel navigation in flash

programming flash

Hi - I am wondering whether anyone knows how (or if) the scroll wheel can be used in flash, say - to navigat through a listbox or something - ?

Thanks,

Sam

Can be used with IE 6 only, and for text fields, so far. I have a link for that, but can’t find it…
The javascript it interacts with (in the html page/head) is:


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function mObject (mName) {
	if (navigator.appName.indexOf ("Microsoft") !=-1){
		return window[mName];
	} else {
		return document[mName];
	}
}
var movieID = "scrollbarv2";
function scroll() {
	// Remember to assign an id paramater in your <object> tag and to set
	// the onMouseWheel="scroll()" paramater.
	var target = mObject(movieID).GetVariable("TScrollbarActive");
	target = "/"+target.replace(/\./g, "/")+":JSScroll";
	var scrollAmount = parseInt(mObject(movieID).GetVariable(target));
	if (event.wheelDelta >= 120) {
		mObject(movieID).SetVariable(target, scrollAmount - 1)
	} else if (event.wheelDelta<=-120) {
		mObject(movieID).SetVariable(target, scrollAmount + 1)
	}
}
//-->
</script>

Ok, sorry, won’t apparently accept javascript to be posted, tried to edit but it doesn’t show…
