MouseWheelFix for Flash/Flex

Great! So, how does this actually work?

Enabling scrollwheel support couldn't be simpler. You as a designer/developer just add the component to your project and tell it to enable. After compilation you'll have scrollwheel support on platforms that previously didn't. There is NO NEED to embed javascript in your HTML thanks to our swfJavascript solution.

You can now simply attach normal event listeners to any object you wish. The build-in components and textfield work out of the box.

Usage

After you have included the component into your project it is very easy to enable mouse wheel support.

Just do an import statement and use an static method to enable it. You can then safely assume any code that listens to the MouseEvent.SCROLL_WHEEL event will work. You can now continue developing your project.

By the way... It is not required to call the enable method on application start. It can be called at anytime you wish as long as the this.stage property is a valid reference to the Stage. Note that in some cases, most notably the FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE event, the 'this' instance has not been added as a child of the parent and therefore this.stage is not a valid reference to the Stage.
