zooming

[Anonymous]

so i made the dubious switch from AS9 to 8, and I'm getting rather
aggravated at the zooming. In AS8, it wont zoom to where the curser is, so
you have to use the stupid scrolling bars on the bottom and right side, but
when you zoom in real far, the scroll bars make you go further than you want
to with one click. any way to get around this?

Your question is a little hard to answer because most use AS9, not 8, and you are asking about zooming but describing scrolling/panning. But a couple thoughts:

For zooming alone, punch in the number or use "zoom realtime"

For panning / scrolling alone use "pan" or "pan realtiime"

To do both at once, use "zoom in"

im talking about using the mouse wheel, in 9 it zooms to where the curser
is, in 8 it just zooms into the center. if u zoom in a lot and then pan, it
pans too far and u lose your point.

Hello Ethan,

Your first description more or less indicates that you are doing your panning using the scroll bars which do have that jumpiness issue. My advice was giving you three other ways that don't have that jumpiness issue. "Zoom in" is probably the most useful for what you are describing because it does both at once. You just pick the rectangle that you want to become the new screen. And by "pan" and "pan realtime" I meant the "pan"-named tools, i.e. a different way than the scrollbars.

Sincerely,

Fred

basically im using the mouse wheel to get in those really deep zooms which
are deeper than the line, to where the actual point is sometimes. thats
where im having trouble. but thanks for the heads up, i never knew about
ctrl-D before, ive just always used the mouse wheel. the zoom-in doesnt
seem to work for really deep zooms, but to get the full object on your
screen that zoom in is pretty cool. thanks

I found that using zoom and pan-realtime in tandem works well for zooming in
on individual points or zooming more than ctrl-D as well.
