MouseWheel in Mac Safari Browser

Posted by Flashscaper on March 31st, 2008 filed in Actionscript 3, Flash CS3, papervision 3D

I was doing a quick demonstration of my recently created PV3D image gallery in a Mac and the mousescrolling didn’t work. I was taken by suprise so I went to check out the issue. I discovered that MouseWheel event indeed do not work on Safari. In order to overcome this, the best solution in my opinion, would be to use javascript and ExternalInterface in AS3. As javascript can work in Safari, I would use its function to detect MouseWheel event and send the value to Flash using ExternalInterface. Here is the link to the updated file:

    This is a great example of Papervision and I’ve looked at the first version but for some reason every time I download this one I can’t open the zip.
