A single-pixel adjustment to the scroll thumb might cause very large jumps in time on the timeline. Timeline already supports the ability to scroll, so I think a better solution would be to give the user more cues that they drag the timeline to scroll. When google maps first came out, people had difficulty with the concept of dragging the map itself to scroll - they were so used to the circle of buttons around the map. But this isn't an issue any more. The rest of the changes, with the exception of the new painter, are easily supported with what we have now. --Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
