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:
Trackpad/Mousewheel Scrolling on Mac for Flex 4 (view source is enabled….because sharing is caring)

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.
