AIR mouse wheel support - not customizable

Hello,
I never used and never needed Adobe AIR until I contracted some subscriptions trough Zinio.
One of the most hurting and missing feature, for me, is the ability to configure the mouse wheel command as a Zoom In/Out function.
Scrolling can easily be achieved through Left click and drag, but Zooming is only accessed through a menu which is a pain.
What do you think?

Hi,
This is actually not a limitation of AIR/Flash, but more a design decision by Zinio. I would recommend dropping them a comment and letting them know your idea. I think it sounds very reasonable and something that could at least be a user preference.

MapViewer mouse wheel support?

Hi all,
I'd like to know whether MapViewer has javascript support for mouse wheel events. I would like to implement mouse wheel zooming however the api does not have an "onMouseWheel" event for a MVMapView component. Another way to do this would be to add mouse wheel support to the page, and then use "onMouseOver" and "onMouseOut" events to determine whether the cursor is over the map or not, however these events also don't seem to be supported. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

As it turns out their is inbuilt support for mouse wheel zooming but for some reason it doesn't appear to be included in the supplied java API documentation. This command is all that is required: mapview.setMouseWheelZoomEnabled(true)

Mouse Wheel does not work on a Laptop?

I have written a program to support mouse wheel action in my appplication. (using 1.4.1) This works fine on my desktop PC but on my HP Laptop it is a no go.
The mouseWheelMoved event doesn't even register on the built-in mouse pad of HP. (I checked it out in debug mode and moving the HP mouse wheel does not generate a mouseWheelMoved event.)
Any help or insight on this problem is appreciated.
Thx

Maybe it registers as some other mouse event. Have you trying listening and reporting other events?

My mouse wheel is not resizing text like it's supposed to ... how do I fix this?

BACKGROUND: I'm getting tired of warnings in Seamonkey about sites no longer supporting it, and am considering switching to firefox (with the add-ons that keep the Mozilla look and feel, instead of trying to pretend it's M$ IE (which I wouldn't touch with a 100000000 foot pole).
Problem #1: I'm used to my mouse wheel resizing text in a tab,
but for some reason, I can't find the option to enable this in firefox.
How do I configure this to work properly? I seem to recall an add-on that fixes this, but can't find it now.
Problem #2: I had an add-on (back when I first tested firefox), that restored Edit-->Preferences, but it's no longer working. Is there another way to put the Preferences option where I'm used to looking for it?
Thanks,

Mo28uo mouse wheel will not scroll in firefox

I have an IBM model MO28UO mouse. The mouse is unable to scroll up and down pages in Firefox using the wheel. It is able to do this in all other programs I have tried. I have downloaded the latest drivers for the mouse and I have changed the settings on the Firefox about:config page as Firefox advises. However, my mouse will still not scroll in Firefox. Any help is appreciated.

A known problem. Do a search for this.

Scrolling with the mouse wheel does not always work with 4.0? Never a problem with previsous versions.

in firefox 4.0, at times the scrolling wheel will not work. It has never been a problem with previous versions, and always works in internet explorer.

Hello Henry,
Thanks for the hint!
My mouse wheel is working, but not in flash player...strange... It is a Microsoft Comfort Mouse and I see there is already logged bug about that: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5145
Anyway besides this bug, there is an additional issue I think, that the vertical layout does not calculate properly the vertical scroll position, when certain elements are excluded from the layout. I have described this additionally in the Jira.
Regards,
Dinko

Getting input from mouse-wheel: does not work under windows/IE

Hi
I have built an applet that extends JApplet. To it I have added a class that extends JPanel implements MouseListener, MouseWheelListener, MouseMotionListener.
I collect input using the method
public void mouseWheelMoved(MouseWheelEvent e){
do stuff...
I have build this on a mac and tested it in firefox and it works fine. But on xp/vista internet explorer, the applet does not respond to mousewheel input. On mac osx /safari it does not work either.
Is there any solution to this problem?
Best regards, Carlis.

Just for luck, try setting the JPanel focusable.panel.setFocusable(true);If that doesn't make a difference, you need to post a [_Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)_|http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sscce.html] that clearly demonstrates your problem.

Mac mouse wheel & trackpad--not scrolling in flash fields

In several (probably all) Flash apps, scrollable fields do not respond to my mousewheel or trackpad scrolls. Thoughts?
Running current Snow Leopard, and Flash 10.0.45.2.
Thanks!

Hi hunter, The person that possibly could help you hasn't been on the forum today. I am a newbie when it comes to the
Mac:-) Perhaps he will be on later. He most always replies to the threads that have Mac in their subject line.
Flash Player with a PC is what I understand the best.
If I thot I could have been any help, I would have responded earlier.

Bad Idea: Making default behavior of "built in mouse wheel support" set to on key focus

This is just a little rant....
I love new features in Labview, but setting them to be on automatically when they can generate unexpect behaviour is really a bad idea. We recently moved from 2012 to 2013. Suddenly, I have users saying "values are changing and I don't know why". Turns out they were changing a value in a numeric, then attempting to scroll away. Why on earth would NI make this the default behavior??? Luckly for us the value change wasn't too bad but I could think of a few places that a sudden, unplanned change in a numeric could have ruined an experiment.
Off to do alot of work to undo this....

You should not have to scroll around a user interface to begin with.
If you can not fit a user interface on one screen of the target machine it's time to rethink your interface.
I suggest dividing things up by task and using a tab control.
and this is why I now hate posting in this forum.....
People just love to tell you how you should be doing something, and not focusing on the topic of the thread. If everyone is going to get stuck on the "UI's should not have scroll bars" soap box, see the attached screen shot. This problem arose from a settings pop-up dialog. I could have used tabs, but in this case it makes more sense for the users to move top to bottom in a linear fashion through the process they are setting up.
My point in all this is why would NI make this the default behavior? I like the feature, but it should have been something that a designer has to actively turn on.

Combo Box Indicator: mouse wheel bug or feature?

Both ring indicator and slide indicator works fine even when the mouse wheel property is enabled.
But user can change value of the Combo Box indicator at runtime.
Shouldn't it be disabled, by default, just like for the keyboard? After all, it's an indicator.
I know I can disable the mouse wheel feature. It should be disable by default.
Or is there any use of this feature?

Mouse Wheel bug.vi ‏12 KB

I think what you are seeing is a minor bug introduced by the lack of a "Combo Box Indicator" on the palattes. You must drop a control then change direction and there appears to be no built in mouse support property written on direction change leaving you with the default mouse wheel support for a control. Since this is a "windows only" property there might not be an easy way to write the property on direction change without querying App.OS target. And then what do you do on targets that do not have support for the property? Change the behavior? THAT would confuse just about everyone who works with multiple OS's
The work arounds:
Use the key navigation page and pay attention to mouse wheel support for indicators
Add your own combo box indicator to the controls palatte with the right mouse wheel support
Write a VI Analizer test for "Indicator with mouse wheel support"
In Short; this seems like one more thing that can easily trip up a developer. A VI Analizer test for this could help save us from ourselves. Consider uploading yours to the VIA Enthusiasts group

Photoshop Elements 13 - Mouse wheel won't zoon.

Have Photoshop Elements on trial basis. Find that the mouse wheel does not work to zoom in or out when looking at an image. My prior version of PE did. Can't find where to set this so mouse wheel works as zoom. I did find the slide bar to zoom in and out, but like the mouse wheel method better. Has anyone encountered and solved this issue? Thanks for any input. Jerry

This is a Photoshop Forum, not devoted to Elements, but on the off chance your Preferences file is similar to Photoshop's you may want to look here for zoom settings

Using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out

Am I missing some preference setting? I use a mouse with a wheel/roller/scroll thingie in between the right and left buttons.
Why is it that in FCP if you are in the Timeline and you turn the wheel you go up or down the video or audio tracks, but in Soundtrack Pro if you turn the wheel you zoom in (expand the view). I like the zoom thing, but when I go back and forth between FCP and Soundtrack, it is annoying.
Besides the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the FCP timeline to zoom in and out and besides APPLE + or APPLE - , how else can one zoom in and out if the mouse wheel is not an option?

i prefer "option =" and "option -" as that always zooms in/out of the timeline regardless of the widow focus

Components cause Mouse Wheel problems

If a component is used in the SWF, then the mouse wheel will
not be able to scroll the browser window while the Flash movie is
in focus.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

yes, fix this problem please.
I made my own custom scroll bar type component. i need scroll
bar to work with it.
scroll bar works perfect but the web browser also scrolls at
the same time.

[X300] Mouse Wheel Scroll Lines Setting does not stick

I often use an external mouse (no additional driver needed). After every reboot, the setting "Mouse Wheel Scroll Lines" in Control-Panel -> Mouse -> Wheel is reset to 1 (I am using Vista). This is really annoying because it slows down scrolling extremely.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I think its caused somehow by the ALPS touchpad driver (The X300 has a really bad one, the Synaptics pads built in previous Thinkpads were WAY BETTER).

VPN User ...
Have you made any progress? I am having no luck getting the X300 touchpad to scroll with MANY applications: Photoshop, Illustrator, Access to mention some. I use Windows XP - another user has complained that with Vista he does not getting scrolling to work with iTunes, Live Search. Plus, wheel events are not handled by the Remote Desktop, so anytime you are tunneling, you don't get touchpad scrolling. I have been expecting a new UltraNav driver for months - but nothing yet. I think I have tried every combination of touchpad and trackpoint settings possible, but maybe you know something I don't.
WFaz
I am sorry but the problem you describe is a completely different one. Personally, I don' t care for these few applications, especially iTunes and further rubbish. Fact is, the quality Ultranav2 Driver is much much worse compared to the Ultranav1 which uses a Synaptic touchpad. Responsiveness, accuracy, supported applications, bugs are much worse with the Ultranav2 used in X300.
AFAIK adding applications to support the touchpad needs just adding them to some list in registry or what. But as I said, I never cared for that. The problem that the driver resets mouse settings when using it, I find much more disturbing.

Mouse wheel stops scrolling page, and sometimes refresh does not refresh the correct tab, but the first one in the window.

I have 27 firefox windows open with a grand total of 141 tabs.
Some times the input is directed to the wrong window. I will click refresh and it will refresh the first tab in a window, but not the tab I am on. Apparently this also happens when I try and use the mouse wheel or the up and down arrow to scroll a page.
Some times it works correctly on 1 window, but when I switch to another scrolling stops working.
Usually rebooting the computer helps, but I should not have to do that.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
