Using the mouse wheel

Hi all,
I have a flash movie which contains 4 verrtical buttons. The
movie will be used with only a scroll wheel, so I will need to
replace the tab and shift+tab focus functions with mousewheel
movements.
Is it possible? Does anyone have an idea for a starting
point?
Much appreciated.
Paul

I would start with reading the help files for the Mouse
class. There you will find onMouseWheel event and code for how to
make it work. For some reason I don't think it works on the
Macintosh version of the player – even if the mouse has a
wheel. So if that is part of your target audience, you might want
to keep another way of working it.

Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before

help! Using the mouse wheel to scroll, now jumps a few albums at a time unlike before ><
In the past I was just able to go into the mouse control settings in control panel and reduce wheel scrolling to 1 page at a time. Now i'm not able to scroll one album at a time anymore, even though my mouse control panel is still set to scroll at one page at a time. Its skipping two albums ahead now and I can't pin point to the album I want now unless if I click on it. I haven't used ituens in awhile so it must be something new on the last 2 updates, I don't see anything in the perference menu.
thx

I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

How to smooth scroll a Spark List using the mouse wheel

I've got my Spark List smooth scrolling nicely if I grab the scrollbar thumb and drag it. But when using the mouse wheel, it's jumping itemrenderer by itemrenderer.
Is there any way to get this to smooth scroll? I'm using a List with variableRowHeight = true.
Thanks.

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

How can I scroll one full page at a time using the mouse wheel?

I've had this problem for 3 years now. When I nudge my scroll wheel (IntelliMouse Optical) one notch forward or back, Safari moves 1/4 of a page up or down. How can I get one nudge of the scroll wheel to move one full page up or down? Firefox has an add-on, SmoothWheel, that can be set to a full page. Are there any options for doing this in Safari, without having to go to the keyboard? I tried Smart Wheel, no setting for that.
Any ideas? thanks
p.s. Please don't tell me to get another mouse, I've tried dozens of them and the old IntelliMouse Optical is the best one for me. (I'm also stuck on an ancient Apple M2980 keyboard. I love those old keyboards.)

Change the amout a scroll bar moves when user uses the mouse wheel?

hi,
i have a JScrollPane, and when a user uses the "wheel" on the mouse, it seems to move up/down 1 line at a time...i would like it to scroll faster basically...so that when the "wheel", the scroll bars move up/down like 5 lines at a time....is there some way to set this value, or how can i do it?
thanks

It looks like it behaves just like if the user had clicked the up or down arrow on the scrollbar, so
I would suggest setting the unit increment on the vertical scroll bar to be 5X its current value. Of
course, this would also increase the amount that gets scrolled when the user clicks on the up
or down arrow. If you don't want that, you'd need to somehow only change the increment on a
mouse wheel event, do the scroll, then change it back. My guess is that you'll need to provide
your own look and feel class to do that.

Zooming/panning using the mouse wheel scroll

Hey everyone,
Lately I've been frustrated by the functionality of the zoom in Photoshop - and I don't mean the Zoom Tool, but simple zoom in/out operations. I seem to recall that the default behaviour in Photoshop was that you zoomed with Ctrl+mousewheel scrolling, and if you just scrolled, then the picture would pan up/down (vertically). And you could untick the "Zoom with scroll wheel" option if you didn't want Ctrl+scroll to mean "zoom".
However for a while now, having that option ticked seems to mean that scrolling (with no Ctrl) is all it takes to zoom in/out, and if you untick the option then you need to press Alt+scroll to zoom; in either case, there is no shortcut for panningup/down.
Anyway, whether this was really ever the case or not, my question is: is it somehow possible to make it so Ctrl+scroll zooms and (simple) scroll pans vertically? Anticipated thanks for any help.

What PS version are we talking about?
Here is the behavior I see in CS4 when all the Zoom options are unchecked in Edit>Preferences, General tab:
- Scroll wheel alone: Vertical pan
- Scroll wheel & Ctrl: Horizontal pan (a little weird that since the cursor changes to a plus magnifying glass)
- Scroll wheel & Alt: Zoom
It's not exactly what you asked for but it's close (Alt instead of Ctrl for zoom).

Do precise sliders adjustments with the mouse wheel

I would like to be allowed to use the mouse wheel to move sliders in small increments/decrements. E.g. 1 by 1 for Recovery and Blacks and 100 by 100 for Temp in Develop module. To be also fast, I should just need to hover with the mouse over the slider, and then use the wheel (with no need to click). Leaving the mouse to use two hands and hit Alt+arrows just doesn't cut it.

Nicolas,
if you have to do a click at first to give them the focus, then you have to do a de-click afterwards as well or at least hit the enter key. Otherwise following shortcuts will be eventually misinterpreted because the focus still remains on the slider.

I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro. It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page). Anyone know how to fix this?

Can I use the mouse scroll wheel for zooming the timeline?

Howdy...
As a recent convert from Vegas, one of the best features that I miss is using the mouse scroll wheel to zoom into and out of the timeline..
Anyone know a way I can set this up in FCP6?
Thanks...
-Ben

Yes.
(I know I'm gonna get flamed by the pros here who will advise NEVER to use third party plug-ins, but... I've been a heavy user of FCP for years and NEVER had any problem with this, so here goes:)
Install USB Overdrive, and program your mouse with:
- wheel_up to cmd+plus (=zoom in) and
- wheel_down to cmd+minus (=zoom out).
I actually use clickedwheelup and clickedwheeldown for this zooming in and out, keeping the plain vanilla wheel_up and wheel_down for, well, up and down (or clip_left and clip_right on the timeline).
Nice thing is, it then works in the Viewer and Canvas to zoom in and out, too.
HTH.

Is it possible to use the scroll wheel of a mouse in list boxes?

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to use the scroll wheel in list boxes? LABview (6i under windows 98) does support the use in diagrams, for instance on case statements, but it does not appear to do much on the front panel apart from scrolling the whole thing up and down (and when pointing on the vertical scroll bar left and right).
Is there a quick and easy way to get the scroll bar to work on list boxes, for instance by calling windows dll's? If so anyone ever done this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Erik van Dijk

Erik,
Yes, it is possible. Anything is possible. LabVIEW is a programming language.
However, the scope and ease of implementation may be beyond the amount of work you want to do. This must be accomplished through Windows API. This means the use of windows dlls and or Active X.
Good luck.
Also, try looking for toolkits. Someone out there supposedly has a toolkit for doing this sort of thing.

I updated to the latest version and now I do not have the page controls at the right hand side and bottom and can only move the page up and down using the mouse scroll wheel. I also cannot see the whole page I am trying to view.

When I open the web browser I cannot see the whole page and I cannot move the image sideways and must use the mouse scroll to move up and down.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Why can't I use the scroll wheel in Photoshop CC 2014?

Hi,
I have Photoshop CC 2014 on my laptop. It was working perfectly but then I had to reinstall Windows. Once I had reinstalled Windows and Photoshop I discovered that I could no longer use the scroll wheel on my mouse to move around documents in Photoshop. I can't scroll up to move the document up, scroll down to move the document down, use Alt+Scroll to zoom in/out or use Shift+Scroll to move left/right.
I've looked in the options and the option to use the scroll wheel to zoom is enabled - still not working.
Any ideas? Tried Googling but can't really find any solutions.
Thanks all!

I'm having the same issue. Scroll wheel works fine in all Adobe products besides Photoshop. I've tried reinstalling Photoshop, plugging in the mouse to a different USB port, reinstalling the mouse driver, and restarting my computer multiple times. This bug makes Photoshop practically useless, as everything takes about twice as long to get done.
I really hope we get a fix for this soon. So far CC has been a huge disappointment, filled with small, productivity-destroying bugs like this one.

Flash freezes in Firefox when I scroll the mouse wheel over a drop down list or text field (possibly others as well).

Whenever I scroll in a drop down menu in Flash in Firefox (for example, I move the mouse wheel just one detent), it just continues scrolling on its own all the way to the bottom of the list and freezes all interaction for about 10 seconds. It's really bizarre.
If I start click and dragging things, nothing happens, and then all of the sudden everything catches up and moves. As an experienced programmer, I can say that it looks like some kind of queuing of keyboard/mouse events with delayed execution. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I found something from 2008 that sounds similar, although I am not using the sIFR they mentioned: sIFR mouse wheel scrolling freeze in Firefox - Stack Overflow
Seems to be a Firefox-specific issue, although it also seems to be something that has just recently started occurring since updating Firefox.
UPDATE: I was checking my Firefox version in Help > About Firefox, and it showed version 33, but also had a pending update so I restarted Firefox. The problem was no longer occurring at that point. When I checked the version again, it said 33.0.2, but it also said "applying update", with another pending restart. I restarted Firefox again. It's now stable at version 33.1. So perhaps it was a problem with that particular version, or even a temporary issue with that running browser instance.

JScrollPane - Set the rate of the mouse wheel for scrolling

Hi,
I'm curious to know a little more about the mouse wheel used for scrolling in a JScrollPane. I'm using it for a JTextComponent at the moment, but the scroll rate is really slow.
Is this because of the way swing deals with the mouse wheel, and therefore can I increase the rate of scroll?
Or is it to do with the native OS and the way it processes mouse wheel events?
Cheers,
David

Hey John,
Scroll rate has nothing to do with the OS you'll be glad to know. As far as Swing goes, it doesn't in this case make any assumptions on how you want you 'views' to scroll.
I think LookAndFeel implementations often decide on default behaviour - I suppose this is in essence the whole point of the pluggable LnF framework.
Anyway, JTextComponent is an abstract class so I would not be surprised if it performs like a lame duck! You will however notice that it implements the Scrollable interface. Take a look at Scrollable.getScrollableBlockIncrement() and Scrollable.getScrollableUnitIncrement().
Overriding these methods will give you the behaviour you desire.
Warm regards,
Darren B
