Scrolling-wheel

[farafiro]

try this then

var clicked:Boolean = false;
var theList:Object = new Object();
_level0.mc1.onRelease = function() {
	_level0.clicked = true;
};
theList.onMouseWheel = function(speed) {
	if (_level0.clicked) {
		_level0.mc2._x += speed;
	}
};
Mouse.addListener(theList);

Sorry, but that only limits the effect as well...

At the moment I only use this:

mouseListener = new Object ();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function (delta) {
	// and here all the script
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

If I adjusted your script to mine then it'd be:

mouseListener = new Object ();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function (delta) {
	if (_root.clicked){
		// and here all the script
	}
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

So if things wouldn't scroll every time I'd want stuff to scroll when I used the first code [mine] then things would only scroll in less situations when I'd use the second code [yours]...

But thanks anyway for trying to help me out, appreciate it

I don't quite get what you r trying to do, but I am glad to help if I can

Okay, here's the situation:

- I've created a scrollbox;
- Of course there's a scrollbar in it;
- I've got the scrollbar to respond to movement of the scrollingwheel on the mouse;

But here's the problem: The scrollbar-clip only responds to movement of the scrollingwheel if the scrollbar-clip has been clicked

I'm trying to have things in a way that the scrollbar-clip always responds to the scrollingwheel nomatter what

NOTE: For some odd reason I don't have this problem when I open the swf in the standalone-player, only when I test it in flash or open the html-file in which the swf is embedded...

I don't know, but I think you know that flash doesn't get the focus if it's published in HTML untill u select it
maybe

[Ruben]

Hm...sucks...so no way to get around/cheat on the focus-thingie??

did you solve this? Assuming taht the site has loaded and the user has given the movie focus but clicking a button or whatever, you should be able to just use

Selection.setFocus(scroll_mc);

I'm just pissed that onMouseWheel doesn't work on macs...wassup with that?

Whoo, it's been a while since I finished the site I integrated that one into...I think I made a button which onRollOver takes the focus and places it to the movieclip with the scrollerthing...

Regarding the mac-thing, didn't mac-mouses come standard with only one mousebutton? Alright, asking this might make me look kinda stupid, but I gotta admit that I never use macs and I have a personal discust against them. There was this one time I had to work with one for 3 days or so and when I got back to my own oldie-goldie home-pc I kept pressing alt instead of ctrl because of the goddamn apple-key on the macs...

PS. It's funny you posted this now, yesterday I had a conversation with Eric (mmm..pi..3.14..) in which I gave him the link to this thread...
