How to stop the wheel event propagation

[GennadyOster]

Hi !

I have the flex application (actually, the modified flex viewer) shown inside the iframe on the other page.
When I use wheel to zoom in/out, and the outer page has scroll bar - the wheel event bubbles to this outer page and it is scrolled.
I'd like to disable the wheel event propagation when the mouse pointer is over map.
Is there simple conventional way to do it ?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gennady

fix it

private function init():void
{
   //...
   initWheelEvents();
}

if not success, please show your code (ViewerContainer.mxml as it is)


UPD - working application

Hi Ivan,

Really like the Live train map! Any chance you share some tips on how it works, live updates on AGS services? 🙂

Thanks for the fix, that did it! No more scrolling at http://www.pbl.nl/en/roadsfromrio/trends-in-biodiversity-loss. I thought I had tried it, but browsercaching is also terrible here when debugging flex/flash applications...

To get it to work I also had to add:

init();

to the

private function creationCompleteHandler():void

This is loaded at creationComplete (see s:application at the top of the mxml)

Thanks,
Johan
