So for some reason MouseWheel.SCROLL events don’t work on Mac OS X. There is a fix! Gabriel over at Pixel Breaker<\/a> created a script<\/a> which fixes it up nicely.<\/p>\n

The script did require some modification to get it to work with SwfHTML<\/a>, since it was designed to work with SwfObject<\/a>. It took very little modification to the JavaScript to make it work with any flash embedding script. The script has a register method that takes an id, and uses SwfObject’s getObjectById<\/a> method to get the swf ref – I just changed the register method to take a swf reference instead of an id string, and viola! It works with anything now. While I was at it, I also took care of some errors you might get on non-mac browsers. Here’s how to use it:<\/p>\n

[cc lang=’javascript’ ]
\n\/\/ with SwfHTML
\nswfmacmousewheel.registerObject(
\nunFocus.SwfUtilities.getSwfReference(“swfId”)
\n);<\/p>\n

\/\/ with SwfObject
\nswfmacmousewheel.registerObject(
\nSwfObject.getObjectById(“swfId”)
\n);
\n[\/cc]<\/p>\n

You can really use any method you want to get a reference to the swf object, and pass that in.<\/p>\n

Here is the updated swfmacmousewheel javascript file<\/a>. Note, you will still need to grab the source and follow the instructions from Pixel Breaker<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
