Question

C3 - Slide Positioning

I am trying to find info on how to fix the following - When I run a published file, Flash / HTML ouput, I scroll down in the screen and click a hotspot - That hotspot takes me to a new frame (page) in the file, but when the frame loads, it loads in the same spot as the 'scrolled to' spot in the previous frame - I need each frame to always load at the top, when navigated to - Just like when clicking a link in HTML, the next page automatically loads at the top of that next page, not at the spot where the last scroll was -

I have positioned every slide at 0,0 - I have tried adding scroll(0,0) to the javascript area of the slide, but that does not fix it -

    Does your browser window have scrollbars? The scrollTo() method may not work unless the window is "scrollable".

    In general, it sounds like your Captivate movie is too big for the window it's displaying in? You may end up either resizing the project so it fits in the window, or trying to open the project in a new window without some or all of the browser chrome.

    This thread discusses opening movies in new windows:

    Hello and welcome to the forums!

    Based on your post, you may be the victim of a typo.

    If you're using an Execute Javascript call to scroll the slide to the top, the correct method is:

    window.scrollTo(0,0);

    I have added the window.scrollTo() to the javascript area - That does not force the frame to the top when it loads in the browser -

    any other suggestions? Just seems silly to have a user scroll up to the top of the page when they go to a new page -
