Answer 1

You can also use .scrollTop to make a custom vertical scroll event.

var prevTop = 0;
$(document).scroll( function(evt) {
    var currentTop = $(this).scrollTop();
    if(prevTop !== currentTop) {
        prevTop = currentTop;
        console.log("I scrolled vertically.");
    }
});

Jquery .scrollTop()
