How do you scale captivate file in Robo 9 to fit the screen?

Welcome to our community

Perhaps yoy are unaware of this, but before you record a Captivate demo, you really should take some time and specifically and carefully select the outpuWhen you record a Captivate demo, you should have determined the exact size you wanted your end user to view the movie at so it comfortably fits within their available screen space. There is a reason behind this. The reason is that Captivate produces a raster based SWF file. By that, I mean that the SWF is presenting a series of bitmapped images.

ANY time you produce bitmapped images, you want to avoid scaling if at all possible. This is because the quality will suffer if they are scaled at all. The degree to which things suffer is totally dependent upon how much scaling is occurring. This is precisely the reason you don't see a "Full Screen" option in the Captivate plaback bar.

Soooo, assuming you are willing to live with whatever happens visually, you should be able to amend the code used to present the Captivate in the page. Basically it will be listing pixel dimensions. And you can try substituting 100% instead. Once you do this, it should then scale to fit whatever the largest dimension is. If the demo is wider than it is tall, it will typically scale and present appearing letterboxed. (blank areas above and below the movie) And if it's taller than wide, it will present pillarboxed (blank areas on either side)
