Cannot scroll over Flash pie charts

[bobtwells]

This question has been raised before but I haven't seen any useful answers.

 

When using pie charts in Flash mode, the browser cannot scroll (using scroll wheel) while the mouse pointer is over on eof the charts. If you move the mouse pointer out of the chart, the browser can scroll as normal.

 

This only seems to affect pie charts in flash mode; line and column charts in Flash are fine, and Javascript charts are fine.

 

Tested in Firefox 27 (Mac), Chrome 32 (Mac), IE8 (Win 7), all the same (FF and Chrome work intermittently if you scroll VERY slowly, any normal scroll speed and they stop).

Safari 6.1 on Mac is fine.

 

Version 3.3.1-sr3.21100

 

The problem can be seen in the demo gallery pages: http://www.fusioncharts.com/explore/pie-doughnut-charts

Open 3d Pie Chart. When viewing the Javascript version, with the mouse over the chart, the scroll wheel scrolls the page behind as expected. Switch to the Flash chart and the page cannot be scrolled.

Hi, 

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum.

 

Yes, it is a known issue with Pie charts in Flash mode, because  mouse listener is been added to rotation movement of the pie slices along with mouse. When one mouse event is registered in any component no other external mouse event works on that component. 

 

Please refer to the following forum post : http://forum.fusioncharts.com/topic/15637-pie-chart-mouse-a-problem/

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.

 

Is there any way to disable this? I have tried setting enableRotation to 0, but this doesn't seem to do anything.

What is the scrolling meant to do, I don't see anything happening when scrolling over a pie chart.

Hey,

 

Since the mouse listener is already been added to the rotation movement of pie slices, the page scrolling will not work on Flash Pie charts.

 

As an alternative, we I would suggest you to render the Pie chart in JavaScript mode instead, to fulfill your requirement.

Hope this helps!
