Flash Mouse Support
How serious is Flex as a RIA platform?
On many fronts I am sooooo happy with developing in Flex to produce Application style … er, Applications (as opposed to websites). However, one thing drives me absolutely nuts.
Why the hell is there no good
mouse support?
I was going to limit that out burst to just ‘on the mac’. But it seems it’s across the board. It’s definitely ‘worse’ on the mac, but still not brilliant on other platforms.
So, what erks me?
On the mac the Flash player does not detect scroll events in web browsers. Insane! Yes, I know there’s a JavaScript hack. But that’s all it is … a hack. It works brilliantly well, but I don’t understand why on earth this problem hasn’t been solved in the flash player??
Furthermore, there is no proper way of detecting a right mouse click. This seems to be cross platform.
