DWMX V6.0 and DWMX V7.0 Lost Feature - TIMELINE

DWMX V6.0 and DWMX V7.0 Lost Feature - TIMELINE
Has anyone noticed the "MODIFY timeline" feature in DWMX Version 6.0 is gone
in DWMX V7.0.


The help manual in V6.0 talks all about Timeline -stuff.! Version 7.0 MX -
not a word.
How can this V6.0 Function be pulled forward to Version 7.0?
Extension object? Extension Command?

Hi, PC- the timeline was removed in MX 2004, which is why it's not noted in
the help files. FYI, here's the full list of features that were removed in
MX 2004:

It's because of the e-mail program used to send it and your e-mail program.
Perhaps this will be clickable for you, if not, just look at the url and
make sure you copy the entire length of it into your browser's address bar:

[url]http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/ts/documents/features_removed_2004.htm[/url]

Hint: the url ends with these characters: _removed_2004.htm

MY GOD THEY REMOVED TIMELINE?!?!??!
this tool alone is one of the most powerful feature in DW!!
my god how am i going to animate my layers now?!?!?!
any idea for workaround?

what were they thinking?!??!?! might as well ripped out the site manager!!! grrrrrrrrr
(the only reason i can think of is that maybe MM is coming out with a DW Pro version with all the funky features - and timeline....shitty)

[rob :: digitalburn]

The timeline was only a shortcut to the real way you animate layers. I never
even used it and nearly all the sites I do have some kind of layer
animarion. Personally I have my own custom written JavaScript functions to
do the job.

Bet your custom animation didn't do keyframes and trigger other events like
the timelines did. There are many things done by the DMX timelines that are
not easy to do otherwise in HTML and js.

They do all that. Triggering events is v easy for a start, just using
listeners and that kind of thing. Tiny, tiny code too.

Perhaps you could make an extension from this code, then. Any chance?

Rob, ohhh so good of u to now such tiny tiny codes. too bad a few of us designers are code-blind :)
and yeah an extension would be much appreciated in DMX2004 community.

PS: MY GOD MM people why did u all took it out?!?!?! *frustrated*

[rob :: digitalburn]

I have thought about doing some extensions before... I even went as far as
buying that book on it. I haven't really got the time though, and I never
use extensions myself anyway. I had thought that if I did release any of
this stuff it would just be in the form of a library... we'll see I guess.

The other problem is that it's far from idiot proof (as it's just written
for us by my team and me, and code size is a priority) and it would take
some effort to remedy that. Plus i haven't got just one or two do-all
functions... there are a few common ones (such as the thing that actually
does the animation), but mostly the systems are built from the ground up for
each application, especially when we're integrating PHP also.

Did you ever use DW's timelines?

No.
