copied!<p>I suggest detecting the window focus events onblur and onfocus ( <a href="http://www.devguru.com/technologies/ecmascript/quickref/evHan_onBlur.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.devguru.com/technologies/ecmascript/quickref/evHan_onBlur.html</a> ) in Javascript then sending an enable / disable call through to the SWF file using ExternalInterface ( <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html</a> ) So inside your HTML you might have something like this (assuming swfobject here, but this isn't necessary <a href="http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/</a> ):</p> <pre><code>swfobject.embedSWF("mySWF", "mySWFId", swfWidth, swfHeight, "10.0.0", "", flashvars, params, attributes); window.onblur=function () { if ( document.getElementById("mySWFId").disableMouseScrolling) { document.getElementById("mySWFId").disableMouseScrolling(); } } window.onfocus=function () { if ( document.getElementById("mySWFId").enableMouseScrolling ) { document.getElementById("mySWFId").enableMouseScrolling(); } } </code></pre> <p>And inside your SWF file some equivalent ExternalInterface code to hook up the methods:</p> <pre><code>public class MyApplication extends ... { public function MyApplication ():void { ExternalInterface.addCallback("disableMouseScrolling", disableMouseScrolling); ExternalInterface.addCallback("disableMouseScrolling", enableMouseScrolling); ... } private function disableMouseScrolling ():void { } private function enableMouseScrolling ():void { } ... } </code></pre> <p>Hope this helps. I've used it with IE8, Firefox 3 and Crome 4.</p> <p>Regards,</p>
