How do I Enable Scroll Wheel Zooming in Fireworks?

I just bought a new mouse and now "ctrl + scroll wheel" zoom no longer works. The scroll wheel works but as soon as I hold down ctrl then the scroll wheel seems to do nothing - in Fireworks... in Internet Explorer and Chrome it will zoom as expected. I can't find anything in windows settings and Fireworks preferences does not have any settings that I could find. Since it works in other applications I would safely assume the issue is with Fireworks...
Fireworks CS6
Windows 8
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 (Model 1383)
Thanks for the help!

GIF is just an end format, something you export to. Many
applications
will export animations to GIF. The real issue here is finding
an app
that can revolve an object in 3D space. You haven't told us
what kind of
object you want to revolve. If there's an example you could
point us to
we may be able to help more.
Again, if you want to create more realistic 3D animations
with precise
control over lighting, cameras, 3D modeling and more, try out
Swift 3D.
It's not exactly cheap but is a lot less expensive than high
end 3D apps
and has a lot of the same features. It exports to GIF among
many other
formats.

But it sounds to me like you want something simpler and Xara
3D which
someone else recommended would probably fit the bill for you
and be less
expensive. I had tried it but that was years ago so I don't
know how
well it works now but for quick and dirty 3D web animations
it should do
nicely.
http://www.xara.com/products/xara3d/
Both Swift3D and Xara 3D export to GIF amongst many other
formats.
Swift3D's exporter is a lot more sophisticated and powerful
though. It
actually has 2, one for vector output and one for
raster/bitmap output
(like a GIF animation). Give both apps a try. Start with Xara
and check
out Swift 3D only if Xara doesn't do what you need.

Turn Off Scroll Wheel Zooming

I need to turn off the scroll wheel zooming in After Effects. If I am looking at a Comp window and I scroll with my mouse, the view zooms in or out. I don't want to do this, especially because I have a Magic Mouse and any stray movement suddenly zooms my window. It's a realy problem. Can I turn this "feature" off?
iMac i7 running Mac OS X 10.6.2

Feh. If Adobe actually DID listen, they would have taken one of the following steps (in order of likelihood):
added all the features to Illustrator that FreeHand had 10 years ago that are STILL missing.
continued to update/upgrade FreeHand (not as stupid as it sounds...look at how many different clothes detergents Proctor & Gamble makes that compete with one another).
release the source code with a Creative Commons license, and allow developers to create an open source alternative to Illustrator (okay - THAT would be suicidal for illustrator, but a guy can dream).
I know a few things about the way Adobe (and all software companies for that matter) work. I worked for competitiors of theirs, and a company they acquired. Lots of friends still work there at Adobe.
Problem is, what we don't see as consumers is what REALLY goes on there - the jockeying for dominance by one product group over another, the limited resources and the constant battle for them between fixing what's broken (not a money-maker but helps the customers) or adding new features (attracts new customers but introduces more bugs). At Micrografx, we used to joke that a X.0 release was our "X.UH-oh" version. At one time tech support guys would ask each other, "did they want help with the "original recipe" or "extra buggy." But what really kills me is I have a lot invested in FreeHand. And it had features and functionality that is simply not in Illustrator, even now. That's insane. To make an analogy in another area, it's like GM buying Chrysler for their variable-speed transmission, and other cool technology, then discontinuing all the unique features and products, and continuing to sell the same old stuff. I realize that vector drawing is a mature category, but we deserve better than Illustrator.
Even worse is the Windows-centric nature of Adobe. Back in the day, Adobe was a Mac company, first and foremost. Their Windows products were...um...kind of a joke. Illustrator 1.0, for instance, cost $100 more than it's Mac counterpart, and could only PRINT in color...it couldn't display anything in color on the screen. (!) Somewhere along the way, someone made a decision to develop on Windows (with a huge advantage in overall market share, this makes financial sense) and port the code to Macs. That's a BIG mistake, because ported code is, by definition, bloated and unresponsive. It's a cost-effective way to do business...right up until your users wise up. Unfortunately, by going for the larger Windows market, Adobe's forgotten that in graphics, Macs are still the choice of a majority of graphics professionals.
How do they diss Macs? Let me count the ways: let's take video, for instance. Take a Mac and a PC. Equip both with the same CPU, RAM, and Hard Drive. See which one plays back video faster. Surprise! It's the PC. Why? Bloated code. Same is true for Flash. And Photoshop.
The only thing that allows Adobe to get away with listening to their bean counters instead of their customers is they have VERY little competition. In fact, where they DO have competition, they are (surprise again) competitive. Final Cut almost destroyed Premier. But Adobe got serious about improving Premiere, and today it's begining to win the hearts and minds of the Apple faithful.
As I see it, there are two solutions here. I'm good with either one.
Someone (like Apple) steps into to make quailty apps on the Mac that will make it a two horse race. Adobe will improve...or die.
Apple buys Adobe and folds CS6 into their software line, like Final Cut Pro and Logic Studio.
Don't care which happens. But I'm really very unhappy with the state of things as they are. So...Adobe...ARE you listening?

'Alt + Scroll wheel' zoom function lacking in Muse

Hi all! While Muse is a very intuitive program to get to grips with, one feature that I see lacking is the ability to use the 'Alt +Scroll wheel' zoom command. I use this in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator and I am a little confused as to why it is not in Muse. I would LOVE to see this implemented. As would many of my freinds and co-workers. Is there a reason it is not available? Arrivederci!

Hi Paul,
I'm not quite sure what Bozhinov was meaning, but what I was saying is that the funcionality of holding the Alt key down whilst using the mouse scrollwheel to zoom would be an extremely useful feature in Muse. The same feature you have in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, for instance.

Bring back Alt-Scroll-Wheel zoom

PS's alt-scroll-wheel zoom shortcut is just too useful to leave out
of LR.

Any way to reverse scroll wheel zoom?

I love the option+scroll wheel zoom in the After Effects timeline and was always annoyed that many of the Apple Pro apps didn't support this. Recently switched over to Premiere, and glad to see the scroll wheel works in the timeline as well. However, it's reversed! In AE, when you scroll forward, you zoom IN... in Premiere, you zoom OUT.
Any option somewhere that allows you to invert this? I keep getting all messed up as I go back and forth between the apps.
Thanks,
Stephen

Stephen, I so agree with this.
In Audition and FCP it works the correct way too. Pr Pro just feels all wrong and it's doing my head in.
The software is great to use, but the zoom is incredibly confusing, considering all the other applications I've used in the past all work correctly.
I can only hope that they don't start changing things like Apple did with the reversing of the track pad in Lion. bad move there in my books (just one reason why I don't need to upgrade).
Cheers,
Steve

How to switch off scroll and zoom functions of touchpad on Satellite L

Hi.
Can anyone tell me how to switch off the scroll and zoom functions for the Synaptics Touchpad v7.2 .
Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
Any suggestions.

Hi buddy,
> Can't seem to do it via the Control Panel.
You can only disable the virtual scrolling function if the touchpad driver is installed properly. The driver provides extended functions and allows you to disable/enable special features. If you dont have installed the touchpad driver download it on official Toshiba page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Then navigate to control panel as the previous user wrote for disabling the scroll function.
Can you find it now?

CS6 AI : set scroll wheel zoom directions

So I use OSX Lion with the default reverse/inverted scrolling. In AI CS5 and PS CS6 I'm used to zooming by holding the opt/alt key while scrolling. Just like in these apps, it's expected when I move my scroll wheel up then the artboard will zoom out, and when I move I scroll down the artboard zooms in.
In Illustrator CS6 , this behaviour is flipped and I can't find any way to set/reverse it. Anyone know? This is killing me.
Thanks!

You know? I'm sick to my stomach with the realization that Adobe and Mircosoft will NOT support the reverse scroll... Adobe came out with an update for Illustrator CS6 (the last one) - and it seemed to do the trick...but now I realize that it didn't. I was in Illustrator CS5...dug. I think we all have to come to the realization that ...we should have never switched.
Many moons ago, I learned to fly helicopters...and the French heli's reverse the direction of their rotor blades...which means I have to reverse the pedals to keep it steady. If you go back to an American heli...your mind has to adapt...and if you do the wrong thing...dead. My point is...Apple is the ONLY one who's doing this reverse scroll thing...nobody else. And no matter how much sense it makes, and no matter how AWESOME it is....if we were all more realistic...we'd never have adopted it.
I go back and forth between my PC and Mac all the time...using CS6 - and...wow...my mind cannot adapt between the two, so I install this silly software called Hotkeys that allows me to tweak the registry and reverse the (you guessed it!) scroll direction - which makes it worse...then I develop on Ubuntu...and am forced to edit some Unix files to reverse the scroll on that! ...but, when I go to use another PC at some company I'm working with......it's back to the old way.
Here me, for I speak the truth......I think we should all realize that the old way is THE way. Apple did this on their own...and us fan-boys (and girls) out there should have been more pragmatic to not follow them, for the simple fact that nobody else will!

Touch the font icon (aA) and then touch "Themes". Scroll is one of the options.

Alt + Scroll wheel zooming

Hello!
Been working with Muse for a while now and I'm growing to like it more and more, however, there is one thing that bugs me... you can't zoom in and out on your project like you can with Photoshop or Illustrator by using Alt + the scroll wheel on your mouse. You have to select the zoom tool and then faff about with it, then re-select the tool you were working with before you had to faff about with the zoom tool. Workflow would be greatly increased if Muse had this feature I reckon. And less frustrating.
I'm sure the Muse boffins will be rolling this out in a future update but I thought I'd make the suggestion here in the 'Ideas for features in Adobe Muse forum', just in case.
Thanks!
Also, if said boffins could add a feature that would allow Muse to export a project to WordPress.. that.. would be smashing

I completely agree, the 'alt + scrollwheel zoom' would speed up my workflow like nothing else. I've posted a couple of times about the lack of this functionality.

What happened to Alt + Scroll Wheel Zooming while using Polygonal Lasso Tool?

My issue is that when I am working with the Polygonal Lasso tool I am no longer able to use Alt + Mouse Scroll wheel to zoom in and out while making my selection. I have found other ways to zoom in/out, but none are as efficient and fast as the method I just described. I used this function in previous versions of Photoshop and can’t imagine why Adobe would remove it from CS6. Is there a way to re-activate this function?

Were you using a mac (works in photoshop cs4 on a mac) before or which photoshop version on a windows system did that work?
Anyway on windows you could press the spacebar and alt or ctrl and click on the screen to zoom.

Trying to figure out how to implement the scroll wheel for scrubbing through the final swf animation.

I have an animation I have created and would like to allow the user to scroll up and down (for forwards and backwards) to control which direction the animation plays and at what rate. I'd also like to have the the animation do nothing if the scroll wheel isn't being manipulated. Here's the code I have so far, but I keep getting errors:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function handleMouseWheel(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("The delta value is: " + event.delta);
frame = (clip_mc._currentframe + delta);
clip_mc.gotoAndStop(frame);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,mouseWheel);
Appreciate your help!
I'm pretty new to this and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks

Completely forgot to include my errors. After updating the code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function handleMouseWheel(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("The delta value is: " + event.delta);
frame = (clip_mc.currentFrame + event.delta);
clip_mc.gotoAndStop(frame);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.handleMouseWheel,mouseWheel);
And the errors I'm getting: (with my animation playing from beginning to end)
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 6, Column 2
1120: Access of undefined property frame.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 6, Column 11
1120: Access of undefined property clip_mc.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 6
1120: Access of undefined property clip_mc.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 7, Column 26
1120: Access of undefined property frame.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 12, Column 29
1119: Access of possibly undefined property handleMouseWheel through a reference with static type Class.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 12, Column 46
1120: Access of undefined property mouseWheel.
Apologies for my ignorance. I've been getting into ActionScript and still don't know much at all as I've only touched on programming in the past.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks again!

Adobe PDF plugin: How do I enable scrolling?

When I scroll within a PDF in my Firefox browser, when I get to the bottom of a page it "jumps" to the top of the next page. How do I adjust the scrolling so that I can see the bottom of page "1" and the top of page "2" simultaneously?

Please go to [http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ Firefox's plugin check page] and make sure the PDF plugin is up to date.

The selections for synching music or artists no longer scrolls, so I can't select individual artists beyond the first few artists. How do I enable scrolling again?

The ability to scroll through individual artists or albums and select certain ones to synch no longer scrolls, so I am unable to select any but th first few. This feature used to scroll. The problem it creates is I don't have enough storage to synch the entire music library, but now can't select certain artists to synch. I have updated to the lastest version of iTunes and it didn't help.

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

Scroll wheel zoom no longer works with Lasso in CS5

I've been scouring the forums and found that this issue was raised almost a year ago, but it seems it still hasn't been dealt with. How can this be? Why would an "upgrade" remove funcionality that existed in previous versions of the software? Have since upgraded to CS5.5 and still no solution. Has anyone found a way to restore this functionality?

Seriously, no one has anything on this? I know I'm not the only person who misses this. How is it there is still no solution here? Was the functionality actively removed because people complained that it worked too well? Is the plan to re introduce it in CS6, and call it new? I went from CS3 to CS5.5 and the only difference i've noticed is this step backwards. Oh and the rediculously useless default tab setting. Maybe I'll just re-install CS3? Is that my only option?

Photoshop 5 choppy during zoom with scroll wheel

So after a agonizing weekend of talking to Adobe suport to get photoshop installed because they sent me the wrong version and horrible customer service (thanks adobe), I finally get to start using photoshop and it's just buggy as heck. Wierd jerky motions and a lot of spinning wheels. I have a macbook pro early 2010 3.06 processor with 6gb of ram on os x 10.6.8.
Well the photoshop is choppy and horrible when using the scroll wheel to zoom. I opened the same document in CS4 and it was fine smoothly scrolling in and out as slow or fast as I wanted. CS5 is jerky zooming 20% every time I move my finger on the mouse. It is driving me crazy!@!
I adjusted all of the openGL setting, memory, etc, etc and nothing helps. I can't imagine that photoshop would be worse when it is supposidly an "upgrade", but I'm so pissed off that I might just go back ot CS4 until I get this figured out.
Another Adobe product that is buggy as heck, but this has been around for almost a year, so please tell me how to fix it. Is there an update i don't kow about or SOMETHING?!?!
I did a search, but when i foudn someone with the same issue, it was not answered...
Adobe, you need to make better products.

It's not performance, it's a missing feature and adjustments (if I can get it to work right) I need to have the selection tool active and be able to zoom wiht the scroll wheel! (even if the srolling is choppy) I need it to zoom in and out, with the scroll wheel, while the select tool is active!
The scrubby zoom is smooth and it's nice, but the choppy scroll wheel zoom and no zoom when the select tool is active are deal breakers for this software! You guys try to cram as much stuff in the program as possible, but if you take things away, it pissed people off. If there is a way to to scroll zoom on while i have the select tool down, then tell me.
