Question

Centring of captivate swf working (.....and then not working!)

Hi

this is a mystery to me but maybe someone will have an answer

I have 5 slides been woking on them all weekend. I created a html container that centers the published swf  from captivate 5 perfectly

Testing locally all works fine, uploading the same files to my web server and its all pushed to the left and not in the centered at all

After some head scratching I decided to go through the slides deleting one at a time and uploading to server and testing to see if it was an errant slide and after a while I found it.  It was Slide two and when removed, allows the reaming four slides to be centerd in the html. Put slide two back in publish upload to web server it back and it goes to the left again. Testing locally and its centered.!

I have checked slide  two and there is nothing odd about it at all, perfectly normal slide with some advanced actions

Has anyone got any ideas, has this happened before to anyone,

thanks in advance

Hi

Its a mac thing

ported exactly same slides over to the pc exported uploaded and eveything centered in html

do the same on the mac  export and publish slides over to left (except if i remove slide two and then everything

is centered) as wilfred would say  (...it.... defies.... all.... logic)

Hi there

That is really an odd situation. In my understanding of things, there should be nothing about a SWF that determines whether centering would work or not. Makes me wonder if the simple existence of the slide is really more a red herring than anything else.

Cheers... Rick

Hi rRck,

Yarp.....It's really mad. But I can reproduce the problem.

I copied that offending particular slide to another captivate project that I had done a few weeks ago and this was working perfectly centering in a htm doc

until i added the slide.....where it whumped off to the left again in a html doc. if I publish the swf from windows it fine, but does it on a mac using safari.

Thinking about it, there must be something else causing this as the only thing ""different" about this slide is it has a lot of actions and a lot of graphics, more than most slides I produce, but this would have cropped up before.

One the project is over, I should be able to upload the .cptx and see if it's happening to others.

thanks (sorted now)
