Flex tutorial: Enabling track pad (mouse wheel) scrolling on Mac OS X for Flex 4

It’s been quite a while since I last worked on Flex after I became a Web Evangelist at Microsoft where I’m spending most of my time working on Silverlight (a very awesome technology too). Recently, I was working on a pet project using Flex 4 (to keep up with my Flex skill), and sadly despite all the new features, mouse wheel/track pad scrolling on the Mac OS is still not supported out-of-the-box. All the previous implementations by the Flash community doesn’t work on Flex 4 if you using the viewport approach introduced in the new version. So I decided to modify the codes in my previous post, and here you go… : )

Demo/Source codes:

I also took an extra to tweak the scrolling speed for various browser… let me know if it’s not working well in a particular browser.
