I am running FireFox v2 and v3 and 2 serious bugs occur with the scroller:rnrnFirst Bug (more important)rnrnWhen I FIRST drag on the knob to scroll content (which is just text loaded into a dynamic text field), the knob sticks but eventually (half a second later) starts to scroll but the scrolling is very choppy.rnrnHowever after I release the knob and then drag on it again the scrolling is immediate and smooth as expected.rnrnI do not see this happening in your samples (for instance, the popup sample). This does not occur in IE, Opera and Safari PC version.rnrnSecond Bug:rnThe mouse wheel functionality does not work at all in FireFox and Opera, but it works fine in IE and Safari PC version.rn

Hello,

Please send me a copy of the FLA file. From what I understand you have some problems until the text is loaded, or the first time you use the scroller after you enter the page. I have to look at the page to see what's going wrong.

Best regards,

Hi and thanks for responding. This problem occurs for me whether text is loaded dynamically or whether it is in a static text box. I have been doing some reading and testing and apparently it has something to do with the wmode setting in flash. When wmode is set to "windows" then your scroller behaves completely normally for me in FireFox. HOWEVER, "wmode=windows" does not allow one to place DHTML divs on top of the flash movie which is crucial in my app. When wmode is set to "opaque", or especially "transparent" (which allows DHTML positioning), your scroller, when I first click on it in FireFox, sticks and scrolls in a choppy manner and sometimes makes the mousewheel stick and go crazy (these things always happen in "transparent" mode and happens often in "opaque mode"). It also prevents the mousewheel from working at all (in both opaque and transparent modes). Thanks :)
