Question

Incorporate software simulation into existing project in full screen

I have created a software simulation.  I want to import it into my existing project.  It seems I can only do this by copying and pasting the "slides" from the software simulation into the existing project (?)  However, when I do this, and then I preview it in my browser, I can only see a small portion of the total screen that was part of my software simulation.  That is, it is the same size as the slides in the existing project, and I cannot get the preview to go full screen.  I tried a different option and changed the settings so that it scaled the software simulation to the full screen before cutting and pasting.  Now, in preview, I can see the full content of my original screen, but it is so small that the viewer would not be able to see what is actually happening in the simulation.  When I ran the simulation itself in the preview/browser, it actually worked as expected - that is, it was full screen and showed everything that had been captured on my original screen.

How do I incorporate my software simulation into my existing project, so that the viewer can see the full screen/demo as they go through the slides of the existing project? Do I need to keep it as  a separate file and then somehow have the existing project link to the software simulation file?

    I sounds like you did not make sure the height and width of the two projects matched before creating them.

    The recommended workflow is to carefully work out BEFOREHAND what the size of your project needs to be, and then make sure any screencaptured software simulations are done at that same size.  In some cases the requirements of the screencapture might dictate the size of the main project.  But the bottom line is that you need to work all of this out BEFORE you get stuck into creating content.

    In your case it sounds like this advice may have come a little late.  Work out which project you can ditch and start again.  You'll know next time how to avoid this issue.
