Does anyone know if there is a way to disable an HTML page from scrolling when a user is over a flash object in the HTML that has its own scrollbar?

I really don’t know this for sure, but you should try focusing on your scrollbar. So when the mouse is over your flash file, move the focus on something that you have in the movie.

I guess I should clarify more. I’m my question is regarding using the mouse wheel. I have my flash scrollbar set up to scroll on mousewheel, but when the HTML page is larger than the screen height the whole HTML page scrolls when I only want to scroll the Flash with the mousewheel.

I think you could make a html trick here. Put the swf in a div and set it’s overflow to hidden. This way a scrollbar will not appear if the user can’t see the whole content.

Thanks Flasher, I’ll give it a try… I’m just starting at working more with HTML and CSS and all that other jazz. The web is vast and confusing place sometimes!

indeed it is my fried. just understanding 40% of the web can make u the best developer yet there is still so much to learn.

flasher3015’s idea seems like the best bet though.

You’re doing the best thing Joe, which is to ask.

There is a lot of knowledge browsing this forum so you should make the most of it!

You can force a HTML page to focus on the Flash file by putting this into the Frame Actions:

getURL(“javascript:me.focus( );void 0;” ) ;

Maybe that will help.

simple
<body onMouseWheel="return false;" >

This will disable the scrolling on the entire document.
You should instead focus on making it disable only if you are moused over the swf.
