I would like to add a full screen button to SCORM package delivered through Moodle 1.9.

I have Captivate 5.5.

I would like to code to function as displayed in this link.

How would this be done? A custom widget?

Not that I would know of.

A problem might be, that Flash does not allow to enter text in full screen mode.

(Actually the keyboard input is not passed to Flash) so that you cannot even grab a key input anyhow.

That way Captivate cannot provide a fullscreen toggle, as you might have to enter text.

That's why I created a virtual keyboard to allow you to have a fullscreen button in the playbar AND you can ask your students to enter text.

I would not know anyone to offer a fullscreen button for free.

Hi,

due to the fact that you cannot enter text in fullscreen mode, I added a virtual Keyboard.

Please let me know what you think about it:

Hi there,

my name is Torsten and I am the author of the widget.

After updating the widget, I forgot to update the install instructions. I will update it.

In the meantime, I added an english version on my website with a new full screen widget, which is placed inside the playbar.

This allows you to use it even on question slides.

Here is the link:

I hope this helps.

Merry Christmas

I can't get that widget working, for some reason. I'm going to contact the author.

Note - The author was pretty responsive. They were really helpful, so we bought 2 licenses. They were even willing to modify the widge so it appeared in the skin control bar at the bottom. We might take them up on the offer for future projects.

i submitted a request to the Captivate wish list. Maybe it could be added as a skin mod customization.

Brief title for your desired feature:
How would you like the feature to work?
Add a "fullscreen mode" button to the skin so users can click it to play their sim in full screen mode. The full screen would have to scale appropriately and all interactive elements / full motion recordings / embedded videos would have to function correctly.

Why is this feature important to you? Over an over we have to limit the size of the Captivate file to accomodate the screen for the smallest computer. This occurs with my employer at the hospital. This also occurs in my contract work, where I create sims used by K-12 users. This is typically 800x600 or sometimes 915x680

If we had a fullscreen mode button, we could create sims using a biggest screen size resolution. This would give use 200-300 pixels of real estate to work with. This is huge in terms of space!!
