in Working with GS (Mac)

If you do a search in youtube, or at least when I do a search in youtube for gamesalad tutorial, at the top of the list is this great 1 hour video. It looks like an official GS tutorial. Theres not much information on it it has 48000 views and it was published on Sept. 4 2012, somebody by the name of mono98 has it posted. Very well done by the way. Around 42:30 the guy giving the tutorial shows a little trick to zoom into the work area of gamesalad on his mac laptop by holding down control and using his touchpad (or mouse he says) and sliding forward. For the life of me I can't get that to work.

My question is, Is this supposed to work on all computers, or is it just because he is using a laptop with a touchpad that he can do it. Is there away to do it with out a touchpad?

    Do you have this checked in your preferences > accessibility

    Here is a discussion about this in GS forums.

    It works on any Mac, if there is a wheel on your mouse (or simply use the surface of a magic mouse) hold down control on your keyboard and swipe up.

    To make it more useful, open System Preferences, then Accessibility, then click on the Zoom tab - and then switch off 'Smooth Images'.

    Trying to zoom in on PC with free version of GameSalad.
    I opened up preferences but it just opens up a window that says:
    Preferences (title).
    check box - Automatically Check for Updates
    ADB Path: a ... button to browse and a button to Close.
    I don't see any other options.
    any ideas?
