Content Scrolling is Inverse of Spaces Scrolling

This has got to be the most unintuitive design decision I have ever come across... Affects OSX Lion.
This is what is happening.
With natural scrolling enabled:
Swiping left in a text viewer will move the content left / scroll the content right - this is correct.
Swiping left in mission control will move the space right / select the left space.
Swiping left in a system preferences control will move the the control right / select the parent/left control.
With natural scrolling disabled it is the exact opposite:
Swiping left in a text viewer will move the content right / scroll the content left - this is correct.
Swiping left in mission control will move the space left / select the right space.
Swiping left in a system preferences control will move the the control left / select the child/right control.
What I expect is for the swiping direction to be consistent between content and controls and spaces.
With natural scrolling enabled:
Swiping left in a text viewer will move the content left / scroll the content right.
Swiping left in mission control will move the space left / select the right space.
Swiping left in a system preferences control will move the the control left / select the child/right control.
With natural scrolling disabled:
Swiping left in a text viewer will move the content right / scroll the content left.
Swiping left in mission control will move the space right / select the left space.
Swiping left in a system preferences control will move the the control right / select the parent/left control.
Can this please be resolved. It's really doing my head in.

Ahh, yes.
Ah, but I would disagree.
I would say that Aaron Johns is, in this ancient post, talking about the broken, backwards scrolling (which we're all now used to) that has been around forever – and that Apple is trying to 'fix' with its natural scrolling in Lion:
I know, that's what I'm saying, I think it should be. For two finger 'scrolling' the current behavior is OK, because you're effectively controlling the 'scroll bars', but for three finger 'swiping' I think it should be like the iPhone, swipe left... page goes left, swipe right... page goes right, same for up and down. Just seems more natural to me. What am I missing?
Bear with me...
This comes from the fact that the original idea of scrolling-with-a-gesture came from the mouse wheel... Moving the top of the mouse wheel toward you (down) "felt" like the bottom of the mouse wheel was pushing the 'paper' on the screen upward.
When we started translating this behavior to trackpads, we kept the same motion because it's what we were used to – but Aaron is right; there's a weird disconnect with a trackpad because although we are conceptually moving "forward" and therefore "right", we are pushing our finger physically in one direction and watching something move in another direction.
Apple's whole interaction model with Lion is iPad-like, in that if you swipe a finger right, you are not "moving forward", but moving the thing-that-you-are-touching to the right. (How weird would it be if you placed your finger on your iPhone or iPad screen, moved to the right... and all the icons moved left? The reason an iPad feels so natural that a 2-year-old can use it is precisely because it works the same way the physical world does.)
Lion is a move to unify the motions, so using a trackpad uses the same motions that using a touchscreen would... as though you are physically touching your data and moving it around on the screen.

Content scroller problems

Hello - I have been racking my brains trying to find an answer to this question... hopefully someone can help.
I have set up a cover document for a magazine, and the text on that cover is part of a content scroller so that the info can be swept aside and new text appears. There is an article that should appear next, after the content scroller had done its thing, but the page doesnt flip to the article after the content scroller. If I turn off the function of the content scroller, the pages flip as normal. I don't quite understand if I am doing something wrong or if what I want to do is not possible. I hope this makes sense. I have seen this done in another magazine - a static background image, new content slides in from the right, and then the document carries on flipping from page to page. Is there another way of doing this that I am not aware of?
please help me
many thanks

First I tried to upload a simple article that had some type and a web content box linked to a tiny html file. It went into 'uploading article' and hung up, after 10 minutes I forced quit Indesign. Then I loaded a file that just had some type on it and it worked. So maybe there is something wrong with my html file. I'm going to rebuild the file and see if I can get it to work adding one element at a time.
Thank you,
Maryanne

File Content Conversion Removes Leading Blank/Space

I'm having a problem where file content conversion is trimming leading blanks/space/whitespace from fields when reading in the inbound file. I've seen where people have posted that you need to use fieldContentFormatting to prevent content conversion from stripping the leading/trailing whitespace. I added that parameter to my list (see below example) but it still appears to be trimming the leading whitespace. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Here are the details:
I'm using fixed length file content conversion for Sender File Adapter (SP15). I have the following parameters set:
Document Name = MaterialData
Recordset name = item
Recordset Structure = MaterialLine, 1
I have:
MaterialLine.fieldNames = matno_external, mat_description
MaterialLine.fieldFixedLengths = 40, 40
MaterialLine.fieldContentFormatting = nothing, nothing
The following is the input file (notice spaces prior to second occurrence of material numbers)
ZED00000001                             AIMS LIGHT A
ZED00000001                            AIMS LIGHT B
ZED00000002                             AIMS SWITCH A
ZED00000002                            AIMS SWITCH B
ZED00000003                             AIMS SEMICONDUCTOR A
ZED00000003                            AIMS SEMICONDUCTOR B
The following is the source XML after file content conversion from SXMB_MONI (note spaces no longer exist in matno_external tag).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:MaterialData xmlns:ns="http://xxxxxxx.com/yyy/test">

<mat_description>AIMS SEMICONDUCTOR B</mat_description>
</MaterialLine>
</item>
</ns:MaterialData>

Thanks all for your attempts but I figured it out and wasn't this the biggest case of irony.
Here I was trying to prevent leading spaces from being trimmed in the loading of my file and my problem was that when I typed:
MaterialLine.fieldContentFormatting
I actually left a "blank" at the end of the "g" in Formatting. Apparently XI didn't like that and neither gave me a runtime or compile error. Anyway I found this and though I'd share in case anyone else encounters it. I removed the blank and all is working now.

Controlling Content Scrolling inside HBOX without ScrollBars

hi,
I want to control the scrolling of the content inside the
HBOX through a button. Any1 having idea on how i can do it. I don't
want to use the ScrollBars.
Thank you

Change the HBox's horizontalScrollPosition and
verticalScrollPosition properties. I believe the units are in
pixels.

PSE 7 window contents scroll by too quickly...

I switched from PSE 4 to 7 recently and have found myself annoyed by this quirk - if I'm drawing a line in an image (or even just working too close to one of the edges) the screen will scroll like a mad beast away from the area I was working on - I have to make sure that I keep the area I'm working on as close to the center of the screen as possible or else I constantly find myself scrolling back to where I was. Why is that? PSE 4 behaved beautifully in that matter. I'm not sure if I explained myself fully - if not, please let me know and I will attempt to clarify further.
Thanks,
Anna McCullough

So PSE7's scrolling behavior is actually a REGRESSION? I've owned both version 2 and version 4, both of which behaved perfectly - I bought PSE7 thinking I was getting a nice upgrade, and in some ways it is, but this design flaw is MASSIVELY annoying. Spacebar, hm? I'll have to give that a try - as it is, I'm always grabbing a scrollbar.

Content scrolling over fixed content: What am I doing wrong?

Doing this for my friend for free while learning Dreamweaver.
My fixed elements refuse to stay on top of my scrolling elements. I have asked nicely.
I tried the z-index:100;
I could use a hint or 2.
I also can't get my page to center. Might thses troubles be related?
I'd appreciate it if you would have a look: http://h2o-test.businesscatalyst.com/Brenda_test.htm
No hair left to pull. I have tried the z-index to no avail.
Thanks

I had a look at the validation as Sudershan quite rightly suggested, but do not believe that they contribute to your problem.
Nancy's suggestion certainly does make a difference.
Have a look at the markup for the problem lines
<div class="container"><h1 class="h2o_title"><font style="font-size: 72px;" color="#08087f">H2O Visions Bonaire</font> </h1><br>
<h2 class="h2">Guided Snorkel & Photo Tours</h2></div>

</div>
<div class="h2o_navbar"></div>
and the corresponding style rules
h2 {
    font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-size:36px;
    color: #08087f;
    text-shadow: 0px 0px 30px #FFFFFF;
    line-height: 1.1;
    position: fixed;
    top: 100px;
    left: 70px;
.h2o_title    {
    font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-weight:bold;
    text-shadow: 2px 2px 20px #FFFFFF;
    position: fixed;
    top: 20px;
    left: 70px;
.h2o_navbar {
    width: 960px;
    height: 60px;
    background-image:url(images/Yellow_Navbar.jpg);
   position: fixed;
    top: 200px;
    left: 70px;
    -moz-border-radius: 10px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 10px;
    -khtml-border-radius: 10px;
    border-radius:10px;
I suggest that you remove the highlighted style rules and position the elements using widths, floats and/or margins

Content not displayed on webcenter spaces page tiIl I login to UCM server.

Hi Yannick,
I have created an html file which loads the flash file and checked in to the UCM server. I have added a content presenter on the page runtime and selected the html file as the content.
Now when I load the page, I couldnot see the content. The content gets displayed on the page once I login to the UCM server and refresh the webcenter page.
Please suggest the solution. I am working with Avitek Demo VM. I have stored the file in the public_images folder.
Thanks,
SK

You need to assign application (spaces) role "Administrator" to your user for Admin link to see (by default weblogic user is assigned to this role)
To add it
Login to Fusion Middleware Control -> WebCenter -> WebCenter Spaces -> Right Click on WebCenter -> Security -> Application Role
Add your user to role “Administrator”

Dropping content into tracks with no space between

There may be an easy answer for this I don't know--at least I hope there is.
If I want to drop several sound files from outside of GarageBand into one track, and I don't want to drop them in then slide them together to line up with no delay, is there an easy way to do that? In other words, I want to add content to the end of the track, and I want it to fall into place directly behind the last content I dropped into the track.
Thanks for your help!

ClayO wrote:

i'm afraid, for many cases, there is not.
a quick test showed that dropped files align to the nearest measure marker, so if the first clip ends exactly on the second measure marker (or third, or fourth...), then you can drop the next file on the second measure marker and it will line up.
any file not an exact multiple of a measure long will force you to drag the next region over to it

Is it possible to share content between subspaces and parent space?

Trying to access a List in a subspace from the parent space. User Guide notes that "Folders and files in the parent space are not automatically available to the subspace" implying there might be someway to configure sharing, but can't see how to do.

If you are using the same Apple ID on both iPads, you can download the books that you each have on your own iPads for free in the iBooks store so that you each have a copy on your own iPads. You can also turn on automatic downloads - settings>Store>Automatic Downloads>Books>On. When one of you downloads a book to your iPad, it will download to the other iPad - if you share the same Apple ID and iTunes account on both devices.

How do I stretch content Vertically in a WebCenter Spaces page?

I have a box at the bottom of my page with a document explorer inside. I need to have it stretch as the page stretches vertically. Can anybody help?
Thanks

the bottom of the doc explorer is a fixed distance from the top of the page. When the browser is resized vertically from the bottom, they want the bottom of the doc explorer to stay anchored to the bottom of the page and stretch as the page grows vertically. Yes it is kind of strange but the customer insists on this behavior.
Any ideas?

Hero slideshow on homepage is un-pinned, yet doesn't move vertically w other content when scrolling

I've created a hero slideshow on the homepage. It is "unpinned", however it doesn't move vertically with the rest of the content when scrolling up/down. It stays in its same spot and the other page content scrolls correctly.

Hi Aish!
Sadly, it is showing as unpinned in my file and I re-published the file and the carousel is still stuck. I've attached a screen capture showing the webpage (left, scrolled) and the muse file (right).
I'm sure this is something I'm doing wrong, do you have any other ideas?
Thanks so much for your help. Do you work for Adobe? If you do, I have other Muse questions I cannot find the answer to online. If you don't work for Adobe and are just a Good Samaritan/Angel, do you know of any manuals/reference books that might help me? I've worked in psd, ai, indd for many years. But attempting the web side of design is killing me, and I'm likely to lose my client if I can't get his site together soon. Thanks again!

How do you scroll multiple buttons/interactive content???

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to
make multiple buttons(my content) scroll through the use of an
invisible scroller that works on rollover. I've figured out how to
make text and movie clips scroll but not buttons. Please
help!

I am having difficulty using the scroll effects

Hello I am starting a basic website for my art portfolio for university and want to add scrolling images that dissapear when the user scrolls down. I have done this but the images behind on small screens get cut off at the bottom so the title is missing from the bottom image.
My site is : www.olivernorcott.co.uk
Specifically having issues with the photography page.
Thanks

Hello,
Sorry took a while to reply with the discussions under maintenance. I figured out i had to pin the main content to the centre so that the gray slide would reveal the work beneath. Because of this, when i scroll down to the bottom of the page with a smaller screen, i am unable to scroll any further down to view the lower images and links. Its stuck within the menu and footer and will not allow scrolling within that space. I guess i need to remove the footing somehow but then the content scrolls up with the grey panel and isn't visible.

Flash button problem when scrolling

Hello.
I posted this in Dreamweaver forum as well....just in case.
I am using flash buttons for email links in my web site
rather than html email links to help with spamming.
They work great except for one thing. In my site I have a
fixed Div on the left of my pages. The content scrolls sideways
underneath the fixed div. However....the flash buttons scroll over
the TOP of the fixed div while the rest of the content goes under
as it is supposed to. I have the fixed div set at z-index of 2.
This isn't an issue in Firefox, only IE7, so far.
Any one know of an easy fix for this rather than creating a
new div for each of the buttons?
Here is the link to the problem page - its the email link in
red towards the end of the page. Watch the link go OVER the drums
as you scroll. (it should go under)
http://dev.informarch.com/wm/article3/flashBtnScrollexample.html
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,
Try this and see if it works
In your HTML go to where the <object> tag is that loads
your flash button.
Add this parameter within it.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Then add the following inside the <embed> tag
wmode="transparent"
This is taken from an article from this site

Please Help I need a page that does not Scroll..

I have a clients site and they are unhappy with the way the
page
scrolls. the site is
http://www.thecrossingministries.com/
they want the content to scroll but on some of the pages the
browser has
scrollbar on the right hand side and they do not want that
there.
the index page is close but it still forces a scrollbar and
I am
unsure how to fix it.
And on some of the other pages the client has to scroll down
on the
browsers scroll bar to see the bottom arrow on the content
scroll.
Any ideas? Thanks for your time

What size browser viewport do they want to allow scrollbars
on? If you
cannot answer this question, then you cannot comply with the
client's
wishes.
