Question

Retain project size in a browser

Is there a way that I can prevent resizing of the browser window that my Captivate tutorial opens in? In other words if I create a 1024x768 project can I limit the user from resizing to full screen?

    My understanding is if you're displaying with the Cp-generated html, it specifies the size of the swf in pixels, resizing the broswer window won't normally resize the swf.  

    How are the learners showing the swf full screen?

    Hi Andy,

    Thanks for the response. Typically when they use the html version it is full screen. Now that I think of it though, they usually see the Flash version so it's sized by that no? It was my boss who opened the link in an email and noticed that the size wasn't constrained. Although I did send the swf file if she just hits enter to open when prompted, does IE take over because that's the default program. Maybe I don't really have an issue and need to explain the difference to her.

    When launching from the html, there is a parameter that dictates the size.  That parameter defaults to pixel height/width.  You can manually change it so it fits to 100% (or any %) of the browser window (proportionately).  Keep in mind scaling up or down may cause some image quality degredation.

    if you just launch the swf, it has no parameters so it stretches to fill the browser window.

    At least that's how I understand it.
