Zoom functionality

Hello,
There's an issue that I am having regarding the "Insert -> Standard Objects -> Zoom Area...". Or perhaps, rather a function that I'd like but probably overlooked. I'll elaborate:
I have a project, in that project I have a "Rollover Area", as soon as you hover your mouse over it, it displays a small image (Actually a large image cropped)
I'd like the "Zoom Area..." to actually show the part of the large image, instead of just stretching open the small image (Resulting in large pixels). I hope the image below will help clarifying what I am getting and what I want to achieve.

As you can see, the original large image looks much sharper than the zoomed in version of the image that was cropped. How can I best achieve retaining the quality and yet keep the nifty zoom function?
I'm using Captivate 4 by the way
Thanks for the help!

Hi there

Double-clicking the zoom destination area and picking a picture, just seems the same as "Insert -> Image" to me. Am I missing something here?
While you are correct in that the project size will likely increase as a result of using a Zoom Area, using an image is definitely not the same. It may appear to you that it is, but trust me, it isn't.
When you insert an image, the image appears where you inserted it. But it remains in one position on the screen or stage. When you insert an image into a Zoom Destination, it will move from wherever the beginning of the Zoom area is to the location of the Zoom Destination area.
Cheers... Rick

  • How do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?

    Hi,
    Im creating an interactive digital magazine for our company which will go on the iPad, but also online for computers.
    The iPad (.folio) has zoom functions, but on screen (.swf) the magazine is very static and peaple can't zoom and scroll (the zooming buttons function in InDesign doesn't work here).
    So, how do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?
    (I read older posts regarding this problem in CS5... It's not possible for me to purchase an additional product for that. I have Flash, if there is a tutorial on how to do it, that'd be helpful too)
    Thanks for your help!
    Best regards!

    Although the help implies this should work, and I've seen it written in a book to do things this way, it's not how I do things:
    var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
    var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req1);
    content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
    Instead, try:
    var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
    var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
    content_ldr1.load(content_req1);

  • 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?

  • Scroll-zoom function does not work.

    Hey,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro on  Windows XP and somehow I am not able to use Ctrl+scroll for zooming in and out.
    It only works using Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-.
    Do you know how I can turn the scroll-zooming function on again?
    Thank you,
    Finn

    In later versions the setting is controlled by:
    Edit > Preferences > General > Basic Tools > Make Hand tool use mouse-wheel scrolling
    I don't have a copy of A6 to verify if the entry is in the same place or not.

  • Zoom function not working correctly in the playback options window.

    When selecting the start and stop timepoints for creating a text file in signal express I can't zoom in on selected areas. When I use the zoom function the trace just dissapears. 
    Could anyone help me with this?
    Cheers.

    Is this a LabVIEW or a signal express question?
    (You post in the LabVIEW forum but only mention signal express. There is a dedicated signalexpress forum. If this is a LabVIEW question, please explain in more detail.)

  • DPS: pinch and zoom function not working on all pages within folio (v30 tools using the pdf setting). What would cause some pages to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer?

    What would cause some pages in the same folio to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer that's not allowing the pinch and zoom to work?
    I do have a "go to state" button that enlarges graphic to full page on the page. Could this be cancelling the pinch and zoom functionality? Would a box with text wrap ON affect the ability to pich and zoom? What else may be causing this?

  • Adding a button with zoom function

    Hello,
    I am working on a product catalog and for this purpose we have used a professional photographer to shoot product photos. The photos are really nice and they can be zoomed in to see every detail clearly. The photos have been inserted into the pdf catalog but because of the limited space they are not very detailed.
    Is it possible to add a button or link with zoom function? For example, an icon such as a magnifier or just the word zoom so when a user clicks it, it will zoom in the pre set area to a pre set level and center it.
    Sounds quite fancy right? Maybe i'm thinking the impossible... but it's worth a try here :)
    Regards,
    Rudi

    ok. i got it! :))
    i have made some changes myself. When the mouse enters button1, button2 becomes visible and button1 becomes hidden (otherwise it is overlapping button2). I have set this in the actions of button1. I would also add the following function: when visible button2 is clicked it hides button2 (this you have already shown and works) and makes button1 visible again. I guess making button1 visible again has to be done with a Javascript in the actions of button2 under mouse up.
    I have no knowledge of programming. Can you tell me how to do this?
    After i openen the pdf file and used this function and close the pdf file it asks to save the pdf file. How can i prevent this to show up? I dont want this to happen to my customers.
    Is it possible to see the exact dimensions of the button? Then i could create both buttons so that they fit in my catalog exactly as i want them, and then check the dimensions and scale my photos to it. Although it seems that Acrobat does something with the photo size already as the photo in button2 is 34mb while the pdf file is only 200kb.
    thanks.
    rudi
    BTW this is really a well thought out solution and i think not many people are aware of this because i have never seen it before

  • Does the camera have a focus or zoom function

    does the camera have a focus function or zoom function?

    The camera on iPad was really designed for Facetime conversations.  Keep in mind the rear facing camera is 2.3 Megapixel and the front facing camera is .7 magapixel.  Neither are even close to real camera standards. 

  • How do I permanently set the zoom-function, so I will not have to zoom every time I open a new tab/page?

    I have recently installed Firefox on my one month old laptop which has a 17" screen. Every time I open Firefox I have to use the zoom-function (ctr +) four times to be able to read comfortably. Every time when I next open a website, or tab, or window I have to use the zoom-function again. This is kind of getting old, fast.
    Is there any way I can set the zoom to a higher/closer setting permanently, so I do not have to use the zoom-function about 50 times everytime I use the internet?
    If you could help me that would be lovely!
    Thanks,
    Kikki

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • ZOOM functionality in GANTT UI in WD ABAP not working

    Dear Experts
    We are using GANTT UI element in webdynpro ABAP application with time
    scale.
    While we increase or decrease GANTT zoom then time scale is not zooming
    accordingly.
    We are using below transformation lines to generate XML for TIMESCALE,
            <types class="TIMESCALE">
            <type inherits="Gantt.Ribbon" name="Gantt.Ribbon.Days">
                <size>,25</size>

                <fillColor type="C.Ribbon.Middle"/>
              </type>
              <type inherits="Gantt.Ribbon" name="Gantt.Ribbon.Hours">

                  </ribbon>
                </section>
              </timeScale>
    Is there any additional parameter we need to use to make this GANTT ZOOM functionality for time scale.
    Appreciate your help in this directon.
    Many thanks

    Thank you Tom,
    I'm actually talking about the standard integrated search help which gets created automatically by the system (you got it right). When I click the arrow next to the select option (Material), it open up a small window with title "Multiple Selections". I can enter multiple values manually here. So far it is good. Now if in this screen I click on the dropdown for column "From", I get a list of Materials to select from. The list has multiple selection capabilities. But when more then one value is selected I get an error message "Select exactly one row of value list to copy". The users are asking if we can give them the capability of selecting more then one row here so that multiple values are populated in the small "Multiple Selections" popup. This way they don't have to type single values separately.
    Hope this explains the problem. I don't know how to send screen shots in this post. Thanks much for your response.

    The zooming function on the trackpad stopped working on my Mac Air OSX 10.9.3.  I've already checked the trackpad preferences to make sure I didn't inadvertently alter something.  It worked fine in the morning then when I woke my computer in the afternoon the zoom no longer worked.  I use this function constantly so I hope something is not broken.

  • We have a Canon SX40Hs and cannot activate the digital zoom function. can you help?Thanks

    We have a Canon SX40Hs and cannot activate the digital zoom function.  I have tried changing the mode from Auto to "P" to "Tv" etc and the dig zoom function is greyed out and not accessible.  Any help?
    Thanks

    Actually, this is a friend's camera, but yes, I went to the menu and when I got to the digital zoom option, it is greyed out (not accessible).  That is the problem.  I shoot in the EOS line so figured maybe there was a custom function somewhere that was causing the problem, but Power shot line apparentley doesn't have custom functions.  Thought maybe digital zoom is only availabel in certain modes (pernaps not available in "green square"), but changing mode didn't seem to make it accessible either.  I am just not familiar with the powershot cameras so ...  any other suggestions?

  • Flag for overriding TV zoom function? Or title-safe settings for zoomed video...

    Here's the problem: I've got SD spots with correctly set up title-safe graphics. However, I keep seeing the spots playing on HD TV's where the picture has been set to zoom/stretch, and consequently the title graphics are stretching off-screen.
    So the question's actually a two-parter: Is there a flag I can set in my video that will override an HD set's zoom function and force my spots to play unstretched on these TV's? Or (part two), what graphics boundary settings would I have to use to keep my title graphics on-screen even it the video is zoomed?
    Regarding part two, yeah, I could experiment and find out the settings that will work, but I figure someone's run into this before and has an answer, which would save me a bunch of time...
    Thanks in advance...

    Thank God, no!  It's bad enough that disk authors can take away our right to skip FBI warnings and all the other BS on a DVD before we actually get to the movie.

  • Since Mavericks, the scroll-with-modifier-key-to-zoom functionality often fails, and I have to deselect it and reselect it in the accessibility pref-pane to get it working again.

    Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first  year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
    Good luck.
