The flag gets cleared later.
I filed a player issue for this. localToGlobal is not correct when we ask the player to scroll the contents. You may simply have to add the x,y to the vertical/horizontalScrollPosiition (and offset by viewMetrics if necessary) as a workaround for now. -Alex ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Schmitty Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 11:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ScrollEvent.SCROLL -- what comes after?
