  attempt to get the mousewheel working on a pc (and i'm on a mac so can't check it myself).

  it should work now, except that the visitor has to click the swf first to get focus?
  i tried to set the focus to the swf using a javascript, but no luck so far.

  what's the usual workaround to get this work?

  i also tried another way to embed the swf but it still doesn't work:
  pc users still have to click the swf first before they can use the scrollwheel on their mouse.

  what's the best way to embed the swf to get immediate focus on the swf onload??

  (doesn't work on a mac, i know, and i'm not trying to get it to work on a mac).

  place the script after the other scripts.. it seems like you are setting the focus to the swf before actually embedding it.

  so this:
  <script language="javascript">
  function placeFocus() {
  window.document.movieid.focus();
  }
  </script>

  after the other two scripts you have in your head

  • O, and you need to change 'movieid' to the ID of your MOVIE!– neverblink1/2

    movieid IS the id of the swf movie.
    but ill check all this out. thanks!– stewart2/2

  mimeartist, yes that's true.
  but the same story here: the scrollwheel only works AFTER clicking the swf to set focus.
  even when i add this focus-javascript thingy.

  (well, this example works with firefox mac, not IE pc)
