I have a Flash application that have to detect the mouse wheel event (MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL), I’ve tested on a stand alone flash player and works perfect, but when i put the swf in a web browser, the mouse wheel stop working.
I’ve tested this in: Internet Explorer 7.0, Mozilla Firefox 3, Safari 3 and Google Chrome; and this behavior happens in all of the browsers
PS: The swf file is embed in the body of the page, a simple page with only the swf.
EDIT: The swf has wmode set to opaque and it has focus on it when this bug happens.
Does your SWF file have focus when you try to scroll? If it does not, the browser window will scroll instead.
Probably related: I found this bug in the Adobe JIRA btw: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-289 This is when the wmode is transparent or opaque. Can you check your html code for this property?
