Question

How to detect mouse wheel speed?

I'd like to add a visual effect to a movie clip which is dependent upon the direction that a user rotates the mouse wheel and the speed at which it's rotated. I've been looking at the onScroller handler, but I'm guessing that some sort of timing function is needed...?

Any help is appreciated!

Negligable overhead as the timer is already running, and you're using the listener method/Observer design and not polling every interval but reacting to the user input.

OK, I'll try this, dr_ross. I'm also wondering how much overhead does the timer add?

Many thanks!

You could do something quick and dirty like this and then use the time in millseconds passed to alter your effect dynamically
