When you surf on youtube e.g., and you want to scroll with your mouse, everything works, but when you put the pointer over the flash video, the screen doesn't move anymore...

Hi,

I see this too. However, I think it might be intended behaviour,
the plugin swallows your mouse movements so that it can
control whatever is in the "animation".

Thanks,

James

Yes, that's probably intended... but I found it a bit boring when you often use the scroll of your mouse... I think it would be nice to be able to scroll wherever on the screen.

Best regards...
