MouseWheel horizontal scrolling support (MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL_LEFT, MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL_RIGHT)

[2jfw]

Today, most of the computer mice do offer horizontal scrolling capabilities by pushing the mouse wheel to the left or right side - AIR support for this would be a welcome addition (suggesting MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL_LEFT and MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL_RIGHT).

Thanks for the suggestion .. I think as there's already a mouseWheel event (MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL) which implies a vertical scroll movement, then it would be more likely we do a MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL_HORIZONTAL or MouseEvent.MOUSE_HWHEEL or similar, and have one event for both left/right depending on the delta value?

Will put this down for one of the forthcoming API updates, seems like a fairly good idea :-)

Sounds good - having only one Event and then a "delta" analog to existing MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL would even be better 👍

We could add that to the Roadmap, too btw..

Good plan! I keep meaning to try to fill that in....

Any news on this?

We missed this one from SWF v50 - but planning to get this one into SWF v51, roughly pencilled in for the summer...
thanks
