Question

Movie border

I'm a complete novice at Captivate and am learning as I go along so forgive me if this is a daft question!

I've resized my movie - no problem. When I preview it in my browser it looks fine but when I preview it in Captivate the slides are displayed with a background border which I actually prefer! Question is, how do I get my movie to display like this in browser mode?

Thanks.

    Thanks for your replies.

    What I'm really after is the 'style' of border (template?) that is presented
    when the movie is previewed in Captivate. It's different to a frame and appears
    outside of the slide.

    Now, this may have happened because I resized it, I don't know, but I wish i
    could get it to display like that in the browser.

    Thanks.

    If I understand you correctly, you simply want a border around your movie. If this is the case:
    Insert a Highlight
    Pick a Frame Color and Width
    Seth the Transparency to %100
    Resize it so that it covers all four corners of your movie
    Set the Display for option to the " Rest of the movie"

    Hope it helps

    I wanted to do the same thing, and I ended up changing the code in the HTML file for the movie so that the background of the page is the color that I want around the movie.
