Heres what I did.. public function wheelStop():void{ myTextArea.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, mouseWheelHandler); } public function mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{ event.stopImmediatePropagation(); } I tried calling wheelStop() at creationComplete, and also in mouseWheel in the TextArea.. neither worked. Do I have something wrong?
