Guys:
For some unknown reason, I can only get timeline_start and timeline_stop to
work properly if the dates are of the form
theme.timeline_start = new Date("Jan 1 2000 00:00:00 GMT-0500").
Using plain strings, or even Date.UTC (like Steve, above) caused all
scrolling to stop completely.
I don't really have the time to dig into the code to find out why, but it
seems like the date format for timeline_start and timeline_stop has to
match the formats use for the zones and hotspots. In other words, it looks
like the scrolling code doesn't use a standard internal format for dates
when handling timeline_start and timeline_stop -- but that's just
speculation so far.
