    TOC displays items in the wrong order

    Hello. I have a table of contents (TOC) for the images in a book I'm typesetting. The TOC style gets all items with a certain paragraph style, that is applied to the titles or subtitles of each image.

    Oval with wrong dimensions

I go over to the properties panel and it always indicates the shape is taller than wider. Where I could expect something like w: 25px, h: 25px, I get w:25px, h: 28.7px, for example...

    H&J violations not working properly

    I'm typesetting a book using InDesign CS4. As usual, I have "H&J violations" turned on and go around fixing the worst cases, changing tracking and the horizontal scale.

    TOC styles and tabs

    Hello. I'm working on a book and the TOC has the page numbers aligned to the right, via a right indent tab, that I defined on the paragraph styles the TOC uses. Some of the entries, however, are a bit long and so they get too close to the page number or even fill more than one line. This makes...

    Motion easing changes symbol dimensions

    I'm trying to create a prototype for an animation for a simple preloader. I'm using a line that grows from one side of the screen to the other (1000px wide).

    Can you fullscreen and not scale every element?

    The post title is basically my question. I'm building a website that has a video background and a menu on top of it. One of the menu buttons allows the user to view the website fullscreen (that I got working), but everything scales accordingly. I would like to make the menu remain in its normal...

    Hello. I've created a simple custom class that extends Sprite and called it Sprite2. It has no specific methods nor is it in any way different from Sprite, it just extends it. When I create instances of Sprite2 and try to access properties like rotationX/Y/Z or z, I get an error saying "1119...

    I have a swf file with a preloader on the stage at authoring time. The preloader centers itself by retrieving the stage dimensions and calculating the coordinates it needs.
