Can you characterise the defect by laying out the steps to reproduce this and 
what the actual and expected behaviour was? Thanks

Not working for me either:
 1) Use MouseWheelTrap via MouseWheelTrap.set(stage)
 2) It works in Chrome on Mac and Safari on Mac. 
 3) It doesn't work in Firefox on Mac (Firefox 6.0.2, OSX 10.7.2)

Doing some further testing (with custom javascript on a page with a 
non-MouseWheelTrapped SWF), the listeners set up in the javascript code work 
just fine when the mouse is over an HTML container, but not when it is over the 
SWF.

adding event.stopPropagation seems to fix it:

        if (event.stopPropagation) {
            event.stopPropagation();
        }

Of course, if someone has other javascript on the page that is trying to listen 
to scroll events, doing this could screw with those listeners, but it seems 
unlikely that someone would be depending on bubbling scroll events at the same 
time that they're preventing page scrolling over a SWF.

Great. If you can send me a patch, I'll try to find a Mac to test it on and 
integrate the fix.

Any news for the fix for MacOS X (firefox, chrome) ?
