Anyone know how to make an Animate CC HTML5 animation become a scrolling site rather than a movie that plays?

Like this (or the hundreds of other sites that advance when you scroll)?

    use something like,

    this.stop();

    canvas.addEventListener("mousewheel", MouseWheelHandler.bind(this));

    canvas.addEventListener("DOMMouseScroll", MouseWheelHandler.bind(this));

    function MouseWheelHandler(e) {

        if(e.wheelDelta>0){

            this.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+1);

        } else {

            this.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame-1);

        }

    }

    Usability expert Donald Norman has an expression that can be applied to sites designed like that: "It probably won an award."

    It's not a compliment.

    Something like that should have just been turned into a video. The need to constantly crank on the scroll wheel like an organ grinder monkey adds nothing positive to the experience. But it does have an immediate ooh-ahh effect on clients, which is probably why sites like it keep getting made.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    That code works well.

    Only problem is that I don't know how to edit the code to make it scroll the timeline rather than scale an object. I don't know how to code.
