Scroll Wheel

[hosdank]

I want to be able to detect which way the scroll wheel is scrolling, not just if it is scrolling. Is there anyway I can do this? Thanks :)

Are you using AS2 or AS3?

Nevermind...lol. Blizzard, you're too good man.

//import the class
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

//this is the listener definition
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,handleMous eWheel);

//and the handler
public function handleMouseWheel(event:MouseEvent){
trace(event.delta);
}


"delta" will be a number, usually 3 or -3 positive is for up movement, negative is for down scrolling. :D

Thanks so much :) :) :)

A small note: If you're coding from within the IDE, you don't need to import the MouseEvent class explicitly. The required classes will be imported automatically when you compile the SWF.

This is only true if you're coding from within the Flash IDE, however.

not any better than you, sir, just a faster typist perhaps :P
