Being a Flash developer since Flash 5/MX, I'm highly annoyed by the lack of support for the .onMouseWheel event in the Flash player for Mac.
This is not a rant, I'm just looking for answers.
For those not familiar with the .onMouseWheel event handler, it allows you to scroll text fields and even movieclips with a mouse scroll wheel. However, this is only supported in Windows.
Mac OS X, surely enough, is more than capable of supporting this. OS X supports scroll wheel mice, and with the release of the Mighty Mouse, scrolling via mouse will [finally] be standard. I'm quite disappointed that I cannot test this feature on my platform, and I do find it a hindrance to the progression and feature-set of my project.
There's an example of the .onMouseWheel event handler at http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=E81CE
Does anyone have any insight on this? :confused:
