how to enable scrolling wheel mouse in textpage?

Are you using Firefox?

Mousewheel scrolling already works in all browsers except Firefox. Why? There is a bug in this browser vs flash player when wmode is set to opaque, which for some reason disables the mousewheel for flash. You can workaround this by disabling the wmode setting, which is used for all html layers that hover above the flash - For example: Facebook "like", Fotomoto e-commerce, addThis "more" share button ...

wmode OFF
Mousewheel scrolling works in all browsers. On Mac, we achieve this with javascript.

Mac: Works in all browsers, achieved by javascript plugin.
Windows IE: Works
Windows Mozilla browsers (including chrome, firefox, safari, Opera): Does not work, because of a bug with flash player vs. browser vs. wmode. If we could flip a switch to fix this, we would do so, but there is none. We will perhaps consider a javascript solution if we can get it to work ... On the web, if you search this problem, the solution is mostly "oh, this is wmode? Then I will disable wmode. solved." Unfortunately, Imagevue needs wmode:opaque if you are using either Fotomoto, Addthis extended menu, or Facebook layer ...
