Critical issue : how to make the presentation window in a fix size when starting the film?

There exist an option in Captivate 3 where you are allowed in menu -Project to resize the presentation window. From my personal investigation I have learned that the settings should be stored in the js-file along with the skin relation. tell me if I am wrong. When the size of the presentation window doesnt follow the preset size, I investigated further and found that the standard.js file allways have the same develoipment date, but all the other files get the date and time acc to the publishing action.

Hi Christer

To my knowledge there is no sizing information in the standard.js file. As I understand it, the file is very simple and its only reason for existing is (was) to prevent the user from seeing the "Click to activate and use this control" when the Captivate movie was presented in Internet Explorer. However, a few months back, Microsoft was allowed to revert the behavior of IE so users don't see this message any longer. So I'm hoping the standard.js disappears in the next version.

However, if your goal is to create a window of a fixed size when launching the movie, you are correct in assuming that JavaScript will be the way to approach it.

Cheers... Rick
