Looks like it is breaking in the beta Flash Player 10.1

’swfmacmousewheel’ is null or not an object

So I solve the mousewheel prob with your great work and a few tricks, because I use Flex 3. I took your zip and put the com-package in the src and the js-package to the html-templates, then I open index.template.html and configure the following lines:

Code:

after the style declaration

then:

Code:

if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(“Mac”)!=-1) {
var flashVars = {};

var params = { play: “true”,
loop: “false”,
quality: “high”,
wmode: “window”,
allowscriptaccess: “sameDomain” };

var attributes = { id: “${application}” };

swfobject.embedSWF( “${swf}.swf”,
“divContent”,
“100%”, “100%”,
“9.0.0″,
“expressInstall.swf”,
flashVars,
params,
attributes );

swfmacmousewheel.registerObject( attributes.id );

}

for the right OS and the in the main app:

Code:
xmlns:local=”*”
…

addedToStage=”onAddedToStage()”

It takes a LOT of scrolling to get it to fire any delta value. More so than should be required. I need to practically finger-flick the wheel as hard as I can before it responds.

I’ve been trying to implement your script on my site, but it doesn’t seem to work very well on an Intel Mac in both Safari and Firefox using Flash player 10. (It might be problematic in other browsers, player versions, and OSes too. I don’t know).

The problem is two-fold:

1. It takes a LOT of scrolling to get it to fire any delta value. More so than should be required. I need to practically finger-flick the wheel as hard as I can before it responds.

2. The delta value never goes back to zero when I stop scrolling. (i.e.: If I scroll down, then the delta will always remain -2, -3, etc… It will never stop scrolling).

I’ve tried with two separate mice and the trackpad on my laptop.

I’m using SWFObject 2.0 and the same exact code you’re using in your examples. I would love to hear back from anyone who might have a solution.

Thanks,

Darren

is that on windows? if so, i should clean that up, at present, if the OS is not a mac, it returns a null object as swfmacmousewheel.

I would like to use it in a commercial application, but need to know if it’s open source and if it’s under the MIT license (same as SWFObject) or any other license that states that this use of it is permitted.

Hi – it’s been asked several times already but can you please confirm the licence for this code. I assume as it’s an addon for SWFObject that it is also MIT licenced but I need to know for sure in order to be watertight legally.

Thanks very much
