Disable scrolling but still raise the event in Javascript

Before you say anything I realise there is already very similar questions but they don't give me exactly what I need.

My question is how do I in Javascript stop the user from scrolling but I still get to raise the event with something like this.

window.onload = function()
{
    //adding the event listerner for Mozilla
    if(window.addEventListener)
        document.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', moveObject, false);

    //for IE/OPERA etc
    document.onmousewheel = moveObject;
}
function moveObject(event)
{
    //CODE
}

EDIT: And then I need to enable the user to scroll again.

You will need to return false; from your event handler.

function moveObject(event)
{
    //CODE
    return false;
}
