Question

why won't RH display movies at 100 percent?

My previous project version was able to dislplay .swf files inside an html file at 100%.  Now it displays them at about 20% regardless of what % the hight and width are set at, unless actual pixel dimensions are entered.

Hi Tom. Did you use the same settings to create the SWF file as before? If so, look at the how the SWF file has been embedded in the topic. Can you tell us what values have been used. Can you also tell us if the problem is there when you preview the topic as well as in the output. Finally what type of output are you creating.

I'm using the same exact .swf file as before.  I even created a brand new html page and reimported the .swf file into it with the same results.  The problem is the same in the preview as in the output, which is webhelp.

The html code is as follows.  I cut and pasted it from the html file, so I hope the formatting didn't mess up the code.

So what has changed in the meantime? Is this a newer version of the SWF file? If so, was the Captivate version you used different? Perhaps you need a newer version of Flash to display it properly.
