Missing Feature Frustration!

[enseye]

So far, I must say I'm happier with V3. Here are the features are have yet to find:
Page Transitions-great for letting kids know when they have "turned the page". Use to be a right click.
Right Click-speaking of Right Click, that seems to be gone as well. Right clicking to get options is key.
Easy Access to Zoom Tool-I know there's a way to do this, but I haven't found it yet. "Help" says View>Zoom but mine isn't there.

Anybody have the solutions to these issues? I'm I just missing something?

Page Transitions
Yes, I miss the page transitions but I've heard they're coming back.
Right click
I agree. However it was difficult to know what options were available in right clicking on an object and which ones were available in double clicking and going to the properites button. Now all of the option are available in the object browser which I really like. One of my favorite new features is the label property. You can see that cool new feature in the the video on this page. I think that will be very helpful. See: http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=nav.1130
Access to zoom tool
You will find that there are several pre-created profiles such as Authoring, At the Board, ... The zoom tool was available for me at least in the About the Board Profile, but you can add any of the tools wherever you want it to go on any of the profiles.

ActivLearning Courses
If you haven't taken any of the new ActivInspire courses on Activlearning, you may want to try them. They are here:

Activtips for ActivInspire
And there are some great Activtips with helpful ideas and features of ActivInspire here:

You can even download them to iTunes and watch them on any video iPod!

Yes, ActivInspire does still have some issues but I'm getting used to the interface and actually prefer it. As far as missing functionality and/or bugs, I am thrilled at how open the development team to suggestions on the forum is and look forward to the next release!

I am getting used to the new interface as well. However, the missing "search" box where you could type in the object you were looking for in the resources is a deal breaker for me. I already have 100 things to remember. By the way, I tried to use the camera that is with the video (love it) but each time I take a picture, it comes out just as a black box. Any suggestions? It seems the more I play with it, the more I realize I dont know!!

Probably just need to decrease hardware acceleration cured by right clicking on desktop/ selecting Properties/ clicking Settings tab/ clicking Advanced button/ selecting Troubleshoot tab / reducing the hardware acceleration.
