Hi fellow coders.

I’ve made a rss ticker that reads news from a site and scrolls them on the stage.  
The scroll halts on mouseover so I figured i wanted to use the scrollwheel to manually scroll the headlines.

I added the mouselistener and the scrolling part works fine apart from a little glitch.

I used the Active Content Update to get rid of the “click to activate” stuff, as I always do.

Now here’s my problem; The scroll stops at mouseover but the mouselistener doesn’t get activated until I click somewhere on the stage and then I get values from the mousewheel.

When I don’t use the “active content update” and click the flash once to activate it, the mouselistener kicks in right away.

I was just wondering if anyone experienced something like this before?
