MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL requires CLICK?

Question

I have the following code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var mouseWheel_mc:MouseWheel_mc = new MouseWheel_mc();
var over:Boolean=true;
addChild(mouseWheel_mc);
mouseWheel_mc.x=stage.stageWidth/2;
mouseWheel_mc.y=stage.stageHeight/2;
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);
function mouseOverHandler(e:Event):void{
over=true;
mouseWheel_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, mouseWheelHandler);
trace("button not down");
function mouseWheelHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(e.delta>0){
mouseWheel_mc.nextFrame();
}else{
mouseWheel_mc.prevFrame();
there is a MovieClip named mouseWheel_mc which is being called at runtime from the library with 30 frames in it, sequential animation frames.
I would like the MouseWheel motion to play these frames forward or backward depending on which direction the mousewheel is being pulled or pushed.
Everything works just fine, but the problem is that the event won't start until you actually click in the SWF window (inside).  I thought I could remedy that by using an Event.INIT or Event.ACTIVATE call but neither of those remedy the situation.
How can I get the event to fire once the SWF is in the browser without having to first click within the SWF?

You have to first get focus to your Flash.
You can do that with Javascript:
