Question

The Captivate 8 Aggregator is not keeping the scalable HTML content

Not sure why this is happening.  I have Scalable HTML content checked in my publish setting, but this is not sticking once published using the Aggregator. I've seen another post that says you need to edit the html file, but I'm not sure how to do this.  I've also heard that I need to change the Standard file.

I really need help with this - step by step.

Any help - greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    I think you may be misunderstanding how the Aggregator works.

    It takes ONLY the SWF files from published CPTX projects and combines them under a single TOC.  It does not use the HTM/CSS/or JS files published with those projects.  It has its own HTM and JS file that it uses when the Aggregated project is published out.

    This means that any settings that reside in the HTM files of the original published SWF projects will not be carried over into the Aggregated output.

    Hence the Scalable HTML issue. 

    You would need to compare the HTML and JS and CSS files for the Aggregated output with the originals to see how it differs and then experiment with changing it.

    Hello RodWard,

    We have this same issue, and have compared the HTML files.  The originals are set as follows:

    var so = new SWFObject("MMTs.swf", "Captivate", "100%", "100%", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    The new aggregate file is set as follows:

    var so = new SWFObject("MMTs.swf", "Captivate", "1274", "848", "10", "#CCCCCC");

    When we change the "1274", "848" to "100%" as in the original files, it makes the screen 100X100 pixels instead of 100%. 

    Do you have any idea why this would be different than the original published files and possibly how to fix it?

    Our problem is this e-learning is going out to Navy ships, and we are not guaranteed a screen size.  A large majority of them will be on very small laptop monitors, so we really need the aggregate file to be scaleable.

    Thank you!  Kim

    No I don't know.  Adobe doesn't give me any more information than you have available to you in the HELP and on these forums.

    I think you will find that those 100% figures were actually manually coded into the HTML AFTER it was publshed. There is no option in the Aggregator (that I can see) to set the HTML/SWF output to FullScreen.  That option is available if you publish the output to EXE, but gets disabled if you publish to HTML

    It's quite possible that the Captivate 9 published HTML has now changed significantly and that simple method of manual coding no longer works.  You might be forced to hack the HTML code a lot more to get the result you want.
