Help with zooming

Hi All,
I have created a screen recording which I am going to import into Rapid Intakes Flashforms. I am having a couple of problems. Firstly after I publish the project into flashforms I can only see a part of the recording. It seems to be much to big to fit into the viewing area. I was hoping to solve this problem by being able to zoom into certain area (i.e zoom into the area where the mouse goes/clicks) but I do not seem to be able to do this. When I use the Insert/ Zoom area option it just expands that area rather than actually following the mouse and zooming in on that area. If anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish this it would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks alot for any help...

    Thanks for your reply. I thought I had managed to do this before (I think captivate did it automatically!) but it may have been when i was testing camtasia. Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    Captivate doesn't support "live-zooming" like you are looking for unfortunately. The "Zoom-area" functionality in Capitivate is only intended to enlarge certain areas of static slides/images.

    One way to make it fit into your template could be to try the Resize Project option found in the Project menu. Perhaps that could make it fit, but it also depends on which screen resolution you had when you recorded the screen recording.
