disabling scroll on textarea

I have a textarea with some content and links.

When i use this 

textarea.mx_internal::getTextField().mouseEnabled = false;
textarea.mx_internal::getTextField().mouseWheelEnabled = false;

the scroll is disabled, that is what i want to achieve.

But the texarea also has some html links, they also become not clickable.

How can I achieve a situation where the textarea has active links working properly on mouseclick, but the textarea should not be scrollable by the mouse wheel.

The issue shows up in mac only, not in windows. Thanks

I got the solution for my case. Here it is. 

  textarea.mx_internal::getTextField().enabled=true;
    textarea.mx_internal::getTextField().mouseWheelEnabled = false;  

    textarea.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,
    function(event:MouseEvent):void{callLater(setScroll,new Array(textarea));});

    function setScroll(field:TextArea):void{
        field.verticalScrollPosition = 0;
    }
