timelinecontrol = Number(posX)*30;
console.log(timelinecontrol);
sym.stop(timelinecontrol);

How to zoom in even steps (50%, 66,7%, 100% etc) with mouse scroll on a Mac?

I just switched to a mac from PC and I was used to zoom with my mouse scroll and hold shift to zoom in even increments to keep the image as crisp as possible. Now on a mac I still haven't found a way to do this. When the zoom with mouse scroll is enabled (I use Apple's Magic Mouse), I'm only able to zoom in and out getting uneven values such as 88,7%, 97,6% etc - the same action as in Photoshop WITHOUT shift pressed. But on a mac pressing shift doesn't help. I've also tried plenty of different keys with mouse scroll zoom but none of them seem to help.
Is there any way to zoom in even steps with Magic Mouse on a mac? This is driving me crazy, as now I have to select the zoom tool and use it to zoom in and out, which significantly slows down my work flow.

While Magic Mouse is really cool, it is not really the best bet for a Photoshop user. Read here: http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MB829LL/A?pqid=QXF99PAC4UX2C4PDCFTTP4XP YXH2YTDFC
Other than that, you can press 'Option' key on your Mac keyboard and use the 2 finger zoom on Magic Mouse to zoom in. But, I doubt if this will give you even step zoom.
The other keyboard combination you could use (I'm sure you're probably already aware) is Cmd + & Cmd - key combination which will give you equal step zoom.
You can also take a look at this article: http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/11-ways-to-zoom-in-photoshop-cs4/
Even though it is for CS4, it works across all versions of Photoshop (so far).

Controlling Flash timeline with Javascript

I have a project I'm taking over from a Flash designer. The
way he created the project isn't the way I would have done it, and
I'm trying to salvage what is there. My question: Is it possible to
control the timeline of an .swf from Javascript?
Basically, the movie has four different sections, each noted
with a frame label. I'd like to be able to have the user click on a
text link in HTML, and using javascript, load the movie in a new
window, and immediately go to the frame label specified.
Is this possible?

Yes, Flash and Javascript can communicate. I would try using
the toolkit from
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flashjavascript/

Exporting clips in the timeline with handles

Is there a way to export a selected clip in the timeline with handles? I know you can export all the clips in the timeline with handles using Media Manager, but is there a way to do it with just one clip?
I should ask- is there a quicker way? because I know one way is to drag the clip up to V2 and just manually extend handles to the clip and export it that way. I was hoping for a quicker method. I need to export some self-containted clips that I can reinsert for sending the sequence to Color.

Thanks. Snap is enabled.
I added 30 clips at once from the project bin onto the timeline. So I was really amazed that there were small gaps between some clips.When I tried to repair this (hold CTrl and move the clips to the left) the puzzle began. It happened that moving the clip only three frames to the left, I lost 15 seconds of the total. I discovered this was either a total loss of a clip (not he one I moved, but a clip say three clips to the right) or it was considerably shorter in time.
First I thougt it had to do with my good old dualcore (1.8Ghz), but on the new one (Quad 2.4Ghz) it is still the same.
This is the first time it happens (after 3 completed small projects).
From now on I will only drag one clip at the time to minimize the chance on this behaviour.
But you will understand, I'm not happy...

How to make the scrollbar function with mouse scroll wheel?

Is there a way how to make my content scroll even with the mouse scroll wheel?... I have to edit the coding??

Hey!
You shouldn't have to edit any code.
There is an active player bug surrounding this issue however, which causes the following:
1) It should work on windows.
2) It may not work on Mac.
We're continuing to pursue this issue, we know it's important to our users.
Thanks,

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move the handle of the timeline window to scroll it forward and backward......?

I want to use keys to control the part of the timeline that I want to see by scrolling the timeline ahead and backwards.....exactly what we do with that handle at the bottom of the timeline......

I don't know a keyboard combination to scroll the timelime left or right, but you can easily do it, either
using the trackpad (two finger drag), the magic mouse (1 finger drag), orthe "Hand" tool. Press H to select it. Click and hold, and drag.

Why is the webpage jumping all over the place with parallax scrolling?

Hi all, I'm getting a little frustrated here... I've built a looooong (10,200 pixel) parallax scrolling site, when I click 'Preview' it plays like a dream, but when I render the HTML, view in browser or publish to business catalyst to view, it just jumps all over the place. I realise that the page is extremely long, I'm thinking it could be that but just need to clarify it before I rework it all and maybe find out after, that it was something else that was causing it to happen.
Your views would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Aish,
I have found the problem, but not sure where to find the solution as I'm pretty new to Adobe products.
I built another site to see if I had the same problem, this time I made it shorter to see if the length was the problem. I put in some elements and 'assets', added parallax scroll key frames, left out pretty much most other things to see if I could pin the problem down. I found that I had the exact same problem.
In the Muse preview it scrolls with the mouse like a dream when I grab the scroll bar and drag it down. But when I preview in business catalyst, export HTML or preview in browser, it goes crazy and won't let me get to the bottom. Further to that, when you scroll back to the top, everything is out of place and gets worse every time you scroll down and back to the top.
I have a touch screen computer and tried to scroll the screen with my finger rather than dragging the scroll bar down with the mouse. The website works like a dream when I scroll with my finger, even when I scroll back to the top everything stays in place and the whole site works lovely! I then tried the other, long website to see if this was the same case and it was exactly the same case. It scrolls with a finger like a dream, but has a fit when you drag down the scroll bar with a mouse.
My next question would be could I somehow disable some kind of touch scroll option in only the desktop version of the site, but leave it active in mobile and tablet sites? If I can do this can you please advise me on how to deactivate it, I think that should solve the problem.
Can you please get back to me with an answer to this? I would be very greatful!
Marc.

How to synchronize the timeline with the iPad accelerometer

Hi,
I'm trying to synchronize the timeline of my edge animation with the iPad accelerometer.
I would like something like this:
var animationHeight = 4096;
var stageHeight = sym.$("Stage").height();
var scrollPos = sym.$("Stage").scrollTop();
var duration = sym.getDuration();
var percent = scrollPos / (animationHeight - stageHeight);
var time = duration * percent;
// Update timeline
sym.stop(time);
but using the accelerometer instead of the scroll.
Thanks

Hi Presario2100,
In order to obtain an updated timestamp with each FieldPoint Read, you should
use a Flat Sequence structure. In the same frame as the
FieldPoint Read, use a Get Date/Time In
Seconds node.
The program obtains a fresh Timestamp each time the FieldPoint Read VI is
called.
I hope this helps.

Scrolling Flash Content With Mouse Scroll Bar

I created a custom scroll bar in AS2.0 and it works great.
But now I would like the content to scroll with the mouse scroll
wheel. Any ideas?

Anyone know how to fix this on Mac Osx, it works in preview
but not in safari. Any pointers?
var mouseListener:Object = new Object ();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function (delta)
//contentMain._y += delta;
scrollFace._y -= delta;
if (scrollFace._y >= bottom)
scrollFace._y = bottom;
if (scrollFace._y <= top)
scrollFace._y = top;
updateContentPos ();
Mouse.addListener (mouseListener);
function updateContentPos ()
var onePercent = (bottom - top) / 100;
var scrollPerc = Math.floor ((scrollFace._y / onePercent) -
37);
var contentNewY = (contentMain._height * scrollPerc) / 100;
//trace (scrollPerc + " " + contentNewY)
contentMain._y = -contentNewY;
}

Controlling the Mac with keyboard

Does anyone know of a tutorial or other instructions for how to use the hidden-to-me accessibility features of the Mac? "Full Keyboard Access" is turned on in the Keyboard and Mouse > Keyboard preference pane. Yet there doesn't seem to be a way to navigate the dialog boxes in Apple apps by keyboard.
Example using Text Edit.
CMD-F calls up the find dialog box but no key combinations seem to activate any of the buttons (i.e. replace all, replace, replace & find, etc.).
CMD-Shift-: [colon key] calls up the spelling dialog box, but no key combination seem to activate the buttons (i.e. ignore, correct, etc.) and worse still there doesn't seem to be a way to close the dialog box (CMD-W doesn't work) and sometimes other shortcuts will get activated even if the spelling dialog is open.
I've searched in Apple Help and the only shortcuts seem to be for turning Universal Access on and off not for moving between the buttons. Thanks.

p.s.
I see what you mean.
In Finder help a search of keyboard access, found Full keyboard access for highlighting items which might be usegul to you.
There is in the list also mention of creating custom controls, but I have no experience with that as I use the mouse mostly.
I hope you find what you are looking for.

CONTROLLING THE TIMELINE FROM EXTERNAL MC

I have a website
http://www.charlesmarsden-smedley.com/index1.html
that I am building.
In the projects section, if you navigate to Projects >
Museum > Tower of London. You will see 'more information' link.
This loads an external Movie clip for the text feild. I would
like to make the 'more information' dissappear when it is clicked
and the text appears in the target. The way I thought is best is to
move the timeline on one frame and just remove the link, but when I
click on 'back to images' link it reloads the images (external MC)
but the 'more information' link is still hidden.
How can I control the main timeline from an extrernal movie
clip?
Am i being rediculously long about this operation?
thanks
Harky

maybe you didnt understand correctly.
the 'more information' link loads an external movie clip (the
text) into the right side of the page.
At the bottom of this movie clip is a green link 'back to
images' this button sits within the movie clip. So my problem is
making this button controll the main timeline (as its root is the
movie clip root, not the main web page root)

Exporting a section of the timeline with FCPx

Does anyone have a clue how to just export a section of timeline out with FCPx. In FCP7 you would just set your In/Out points on the timeline, go to File->Export and walla!, a segmented section of your masterpiece that you could send to a VFX or Audio Dept, etc. for tweaking. I know most, including myself, would like to give a snarky answer (such as Revert back) but I'm trying to explore FCPx to the best of my ability and am looking for a straight up answer

As far as I am aware, Apple laid off the old FCP team and hired a new team, under the lead of the iMovie designer. The same team that changed iMovie and made it "better".
Please read this article from Apple Insider from 2010.
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/05/18/apple_scaling_final_cut_studio_app s_to_fit_prosumers/
I love Final Cut Pro, but leaving out simple things is not good at all. Even in QuickTime I can export a selection of a clip in a few simple steps? There needs to be tighter integration of FCP with Motion. Now that Shake is dead.
