probably a stupid question but.. 2014-10-21 19:23:44


Okay so the other day I started working on a flash animation, and somehow i made my timeline window all huge and extremely awkward. Does anybody know how I can change the size of this?

If you don't mind losing your layout, then go to Window (top menu) ==> Workspaces and then click on some other layout.

I've very interested how you managed this, but you probably don't know.

Who on earth would want their timeline this big? Even if your sight was bad, it wouldn't be very practical.

Wow. That is actually impressive.

I was playing around with the Flash IDE to see if I could replicate that and I managed to, albeit on Windows so I cannot guarantee the same will be on OSX.

Anyway, I discovered that if you hold down your middle-mouse button and scroll at the same time with the mouse after giving the timeline focus (i.e. clicking on it), it will change the size of the timeline. Holding down ALT while doing that will make it only increase its size horizontally. I'm guessing that it will be the same on OSX, so give that a try.

OH MY GOODNESS! I bet even some of the FLASH IDE developers don't even know that's possible.

Go to top right where it says 'classic', select reset workspace and it should resize all the panels.
