Scrollbars and Zoom Problem

[MegaMan]

Ok here's somethign that is driving me crazy:

You have an swf with some content and scrollbars and you zoom in. Now if you try to drag the scrollbar it also drags the page.
Is there a way for it to ignore the drag page when you are clicking on active content?

Thanks!

Only if the active content stops the event propagation, using the stopPropagation / stopImmediatePropagation functions.

Hi Florian,

From where should I call this function - any classes I have to import?

IE if i call stopPropagation() in my swf I'm pretty sure it wont work.
Btw just bought my commercial license today, Hans did a really good job with the credit card integration

Well, that depends on the scrollbar implementation, I guess. If you have access to the
actual MouseEvent handler the scrollbar uses, put it in there (this is a function provided
by the Event class, so you call it on event objects).
If you don't, try adding a mouse listener on the scrollbar object manually, with a little
lower priority (to guarantee the scrollbar will still work), and call it in there. E.g.
something like this:

Code: (actionscript3)

var scrollBar:DisplayObject = ...; // your scrollbar
scrollBar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,
    function(e:MouseEvent):void { e.stopPropagation(); });

No guarantee this will work, though, just an idea
