Mouse messages in scrollers

[J. Landman Gay]

I'm doing something very similar but the problem is that I don't get any 
mouse or touch messages at all, which is why I'm thinking it must be the 
settings for my ios scroller.

Whatever the defaults are for delayTouches and canCancelTouches, I think at 
least one of them needs to be changed.
