Publishing to Windows Executable (exe) play options

[jonestech]

Captivate 4.0.1 build 1658. On any Windows platform.

When I publish to "Windows Executable" and then play the resultant EXE file, the window is a fixed size with no scroll bars. This presents a problem when customers attempt to run the EXE on very small (e.g. Netbooks, etc) computer screens, as they cannot see the player controls at the bottom of the window.

Is there any way to

1. force scroll bars on the play back
2. allow for shortcut keys (Ctrl+P for Play; Ctrl+Shft+P for Pause, etc) to allow the user to control playback

What other options might there be that I am not thinking of?

I use EXE because I need this video tutorial to play on Windows boxes after product installation.

Thanks,

Jeff

I've never published CP projects that way so not sure...

But I've published Flash projects that needed to be .exe's and have used SWFKit with great success.

Very versatile tool, inexpensive, and lots of options. I'd be surprised if it couldn't do what you need.

If so, then publish your CP file to SWF then embed that SWF into an .exe with SWFKit...
