Scroll Wheel - Control Page Scroll?

Mouse Wheel Makes The Html Page Scroll ?
Hi,
I'm trying to use mouse wheel without scrolling the html page.

Somebody had the same problem here, but no solution so far : http://readlist.com/lists/chattyfig....s/4/23733.html

Even when the mouse cursor is over the swf, using the mouse wheel scroll down and up the html page which is nearly impossible to use.

[scroll] Scroll That Reacts To The Mouse Wheel
Hy guys,

Do you know how can I make a scrollable text that reacts to the mouse wheel. Here you can see an example: link here

Look at the news section, or at the about us section.

The majority oh the text scrollers on the web didn't react at the mouse wheel. I found this site and I was surprised when I found that I can scroll with my mouse wheel.

Hope some one knows how they do that.

Thx.

Scroll Wheel
Hey guys I know you can select a button to whether or not to use scrolling with scroll wheel on mouse.

Is there a selection button (or something) than enables a viewer to use/not use the scroll wheel on the mouse.

The reason I wonder is because I have a few sites and all of them scroll with the scroll wheel.

The last site I made, I can't get the scroll wheel to scroll down the site if I click in the flash area. The text in the flash area scrolls but the interface doesn't unless I click outside of the flash area and on the HTML page.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Scroll Wheel
Hi

I'm currently making a game and I want the player to be able to use the scroll wheel to switch between 5 weapons. I used this code:

(First Frame)

ActionScript Code:
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();

(Main Code for the Game)

ActionScript Code:
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {
    nofiring = true;
    divideDelta = delta/9;
    weapon = weapon + divideDelta;
    if (weapon>5) {
        weapon = 5;
    }
    if (weapon<1) {
        weapon = 1;
    }
};
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

I found the 'divideDelta = delta/9' part by trial and error. This code worked fine on my PC. But when I tried it on another PC, the scroll wheel jumped between weapons 1,3 and 5. All I can presume is that the wheel is more sensitve on the other PC. Could anyone please tell me a way of using the scroll wheel to consistently change a variable?

Scroll Wheel
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem or not but say I have a multi line textfield in a flash file loaded in the browser, with a scroll bar—the scroll wheel on the mouse only works when used on a pc and not on a mac.

the scroll button on the mouse will scroll through the textField in the flash file only when viewed on a PC. I'm on two separate Macs and it doesn't work when viewing through the browser on the mac. Same browser (Firefox) on both platforms.

Strange too, becuase the files are all created on the mac. I just use the PC to test the projects. Anyone else know of this?

Scroll Bar And Mouse Wheel
Hello Flashers.

How many times have you read that one???

Okay here's the thing;

How do you get the "mouse wheel" to work just like it does on a regular html page, is there a code for this?

And

Since I'm still learning, I geuss I'll always be learning and I'm okay with that, I don't know how to make the scroll bar component that comes with FLAS MX work on a Movie Clip like it does on a text field so I kind of made my own, well almost.

I got the top and bottom buttons of the scroll bar to work, it's the center bar part that's a pain. I looked at one of the Samples that comes with Flash MX, "Movement-sliders.fla" and it was kind of helpful but I'm still lost when it comes to the advamce coding. I got the intended target to scroll but I couldn't control it like I can the buttons, and I also couldn't make the bar move up or down when clicking on the bottuns.

Any daring soul/flasher want to take a shot at this?

Thank You

Peace
Jose Antonio

[F8] Scroll Wheel Works In IE, But Not In FF?
Hey gang,

I can't figure out why on earth it's doing this, but a datagrid I am using will not enable the scroll wheel when viewed in FireFox. Basically, I wanted to use a datagrid so that I could control 3 columns of xml-driven text with one scrollbar. I set the background component of the datagrid to invisible, which also got rid of the datagrid functionality (sorting by column, rollOver, clicking), which was fine with me since all I need for this project is non-interactive textboxes that I can control with one scrollbar. It works fine in IE, but in FF it doesn't. Anyone have a clue why?


PHP Code:




showDG.showHeaders = false;
obj = {_visible:false};
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.setStyle("backgroundColor", obj);
_global.styles.ScrollSelectList.setStyle("vGridLines", false);
showDG.mouseWheelEnabled = true;
showDG.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");
showDG.setStyle("fontFamily", "arial");
showDG.setStyle("color", "0xB2A399");
showDG.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
showDG.setStyle("fontSize", "11");
showDG.columnNames = ["showDate", "showVenue", "showLocation"];
var temp = showDG.getColumnAt(0);
temp.width = 115;
temp = showDG.getColumnAt(1);
temp.width = 160;
temp.setStyle("textAlign", "center");
temp = showDG.getColumnAt(2);
temp.setStyle("marginLeft", "20");
temp.width = 152;
//------ Begin XML Search ----//
var myXML:XML = new XML();
//ignore the white space
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load("shows.xml");
//Search XML file for results
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        var showNode = this.firstChild.firstChild;
        while (showNode) {
            var insert_obj = {showDate:showNode.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue, showVenue:showNode.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue, showLocation:showNode.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue};
            showDG.addItem(insert_obj);
            showNode = showNode.nextSibling;
        }
    } else {
        trace("There was an error!");
    }
};







Any help is most appreciated!

Getting A The Scroll Wheel To Work
How do I make something scroll wheel compatible? and not specifically for a scrollbar. Could someone let me know? Is there a tutorial or source anywhere?

Scroll Bar And Wheel Mice
With Flash MX, placing a scrolling text box into your applications, or web-based projects has become quite easy.

Something I had found out, though is that you cannot use the wheel on a mouse to scroll the information.

Does anyone have a solution for this issue, as it has come up a few times with the online application that I had created in the scrollable text boxes. I guess they want to make it even simpler.

Thanks in advance!

Wheel Scroll Going TOO FAST..
Hi, I'm trying to get a script to use the wheel to scroll things. I've searched and found a few things out there, but now I'm stuck with a minor problem...

My script works fine, it scrolls, it stops to prevent the content from going out of the stage... The problem is if I leave the frame where this scroll is, and later come back, it goes TWICE AS FAST, etc, etc..!!!

I've got a textfield that display the "delta", and it doesn't change, it's always 4 or -4... But the amount by what it moves the content, each time I leave and come back, goes up by 4..!!!

I'll post my code, but d'you guys have any idea why it does that.??


Code:
clip_mc._y = 0; // i set my MC to make sure it starts at 0

mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta:Number) {
if (delta > 0) { // checks if i scroll up or down
if (clip_mc._y < 0) { // checks to make sure I don't scroll too far
clip_mc._y += delta;
} else {
clip_mc._y = 0;
}
} else {
if (clip_mc._y > -50) {
clip_mc._y += delta;
} else {
clip_mc._y = -50;
}
}
};
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
That's it.. I've got this code on my frame, and the content to scroll is clip_mc...

Scroll Wheel Detection

Scroll Wheel Functionality
How do I include scroll wheel functionality on my scrollbars in my website whenever you rollover the mask for the text?

There is a mc called mask that masks out the txt mc then on the side there is a mc called scrollbar on top of a mc called scrollbarBG which is the scrollbar.

Here is my code:


ActionScript Code:
txt.setMask(mask)
scrollbar.onMouseDown = function() {
    if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse) && txt._height>mask._height) {
        this.startDrag(false, scrollbarBG._x, scrollbarBG._y, scrollbarBG._x, scrollbarBG._height-this._height)
        txt.onEnterFrame = scrollThumbs;
        dragging = true
    }
};
scrollbar.onMouseUp = function() {
    stopDrag()
    dragging = false
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
};
function scrollThumbs() {
   
    var funkyVar = -this._parent.scrollbar._y*(((this._height-this._parent.scrollbar._height)/(this._parent.scrollbarBG._height-this._parent.scrollbar._height))-1)
    this.Y = (funkyVar-this._y)*.2;
    this._y += this.Y;
    if(Math.abs(funkyVar-this._y)<1 && !dragging){
        delete this.onEnterFrame
    }
 
}


I have seen it done before I just dont know how.

If you would like to see my .fla please let me know.

Thanks!

[F8] Scroll Wheel Stops Working
Noticed that when I click on a swf (and as a result the flash movie gets focus) the mouse's scroll wheel won't work anymore. I mean in combination with the browser's vertical scrollbar. Is there something I have to to in the html code or flash to keep the browser scrollbar working with the mouse's scrollwheel? No matter when the swf doesn't have focus (scrollwheel works) or does have focus when I click on it (scrollwheel stops working)?

Add Wheel Mouse To Scroll And Resize Fix
Sorry but this is a 2 part question.

Below is my code for a full screen flash web site that will introduce a scrollbar with Inertia if needed based on the Browser size/resize.

This is the code for full size site with the onresize methods.

Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.showMenu = false;
function buildStage() {
bg_image._width = Stage.width;
footer._width = Stage.width;
bar._height = Stage.height-footer._height;
EXTRA = main._height-Stage.height;
dragger._height = Stage.height-EXTRA;
bg_image._x = Stage.width/2;
footer._x = Stage.width/2;
footer._y = Stage.height-footer._height;
mask_mc._x = Stage.width/2;
main._x = Stage.width/2;
bar._x = Stage.width-bar._width;
dragger._x = Stage.width-dragger._width;
mask_mc._height = Stage.height-25;
//This is for the scroller
space = 20;
friction = 0.9;
speed = 4;
y = dragger._y;
top = main._y;
bottom = main._y+mask_mc._height-main._height-space;
if (Stage.height>main._height) {
dragger._visible = false;
bar._visible = false;
} else {
dragger._visible = true;
bar._visible = true;
}
}
buildStage();
var resizeListener:Object = new Object();
Stage.addListener(resizeListener);
resizeListener.onResize = function() {
buildStage();
};
This is the scroll bar code that I got from searching the forums.

Code:
bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=false;

dragger.onPress = function() {
drag = true;
this.startDrag(false, this._x, this._parent.y, this._x, this._parent.y+this._parent.bar._height-this._height);
dragger.scrollEase();
};
dragger.onMouseUp = function() {
this.stopDrag();
drag = false;
};
bar.onPress = function() {
drag = true;
if (this._parent._ymouse>this._y+this._height-this._parent.dragger._height) {
this._parent.dragger._y = this._parent._ymouse;
this._parent.dragger._y = this._y+this._height-this._parent.dragger._height;
} else {
this._parent.dragger._y = this._parent._ymouse;
}
dragger.scrollEase();
};
bar.onMouseUp = function() {
drag = false;
};
moveDragger = function (d) {
if ((dragger._y>=y+bar._height-dragger._height && d == 1) || (dragger._y<=y && d == -1)) {
clearInterval(myInterval);
} else {
dragger._y += d;
dragger.scrollEase();
updateAfterEvent();
}
};
up_btn.onPress = function() {
myInterval = setInterval(moveDragger, 18, -1);
};
down_btn.onPress = function() {
myInterval = setInterval(moveDragger, 18, 1);
};
up_btn.onMouseUp = down_btn.onMouseUp=function () {
clearInterval(myInterval);
};
MovieClip.prototype.scrollEase = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Math.abs(dy) == 0 && drag == false) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
r = (this._y-y)/(bar._height-this._height);
dy = Math.round((((top-(top-bottom)*r)-main._y)/speed)*friction);
main._y += dy;
};
};
My two questions are how to add the Mouse Wheel - This is what I've got


Code:
var mouseListener = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelMotion) {
dragger._y -= wheelMotion;
};
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
And secondly, My scrollbar adjusts based onthe window size however the minute that the content is not sitting at a y of 0, the scrollbar resets and assumes that the top of the content is where it's sitting on the stage now. I think that may not make sense but basically the scrollbar seems to reset itself not knowing where the content is?

Thanks for any help and feel free to use the code wherever you want.

Dynamic Text Scroll Wheel Problems
I am having trouble setting up a text box that dynamically loads an external text file into it (with HTML enabled in the actionscript). I would like the user to be able to scroll through the text with their mouse wheel. There are lots of things online that say what to do but they either don't work or don't seem to be applicable. I am wondering if anyone knows what I should do!
