I'm using Play-by-Scroll to create a great homepage for a client. It's almost finished but I have sudden concerns about people who don;t use the mouse-wheel to scroll.
I have had a developer help me with adding function for use of Arrow Keys to emulate the scrollwheel, but am not sure of the correct way to implement it... The dev has written this line:
var element = <reference to the element the mousewheel events are bound to>
But dev is away and I need help with what this line between the <> should be. Can you help?
Alternatively, can you build in the Arrow Keys function in the next release?
Okay but can you help me with the code question? If I can get this working I'll happily send you my code to ease with adding the functionality yourselves.
As I've mentioned, there is no option currently to use this feature with the arrow keys. However the play by scroll effect is available for everyone on every device. Alongside with the mousewheel, it supports every touch surface as well, so it can be used on mobiles, tablets, laptop touchpads and even with magic mouse. Basically, it's available for every visitor using any device. Because of the above mentioned reasons we do not feel the method you're trying to implement necessary or practical. Also, there is no easy way to achieve it at the moment.

Hey Reverend2008,
At the moment you can only use the Play By Scroll feature with mouse scrolling.
We are planning to improve this effect in future releases, but unfortunately it's not available for arrow keys or for the scrollbar currently.
