Hi,
in Engage
'09 it was possible to add a SWF into Engage interaction with the Full size
option viewing. So the video was played when the user clicks the play button on the
video thumbnail (see image).
In Engage '13 it seems to be impossible to do that. My SWF cannot be viewed in full size but only in embedded mode. I am unable to find any option to do that. I can only change the size of the video but it is not enough for my needs. I need to see the SWF in full size.
Is it a bug or a lack in the '13 version ?
Any idea to solve this issue ?
Thanks,
Eric.

Hi Eric!
Yes, in 09 there was a feature to display it in a new window, which I no longer see as a part of Engage 13, and the properties that you can adjust for a SWF file are indicated here. Depending on the type of interaction your using, the maximum dimensions for media are outlined here.
If you would like to submit a feature request, you are welcome to do so here.
Hi Leslie,
Feature request was submitted. But I really don't understand why this feature was removed in this version.
A solution could be to add an hyperlink to an external SWF file. Unfortunatly I don't success to do that.
Do you know how to do ? And how to publish with all external files ?

Hi Eric!
File hyperlinks are not supported in Engage '13.
Articulate Engage '13 lets you hyperlink to:
To hyperlink to a file, upload it to a web server, then link to the file's URL. (Free file storage is offered by many online services, such as Amazon, Dropbox,Microsoft, and Google.)
We also welcome your feature requests.
I am not sure what you are referring to when you ask about publishing with all external files?
Hi Lesly,
so, I unerstand that unfortunatly this is another "lost feature" in Studio '13 compare to older Studio '09 where it was possible to add link to external files.
For the last point, my question was about the external files you link to. For example if you link to a file in your local computer, the file must be copied somewhere to the published folder to be delivered.
But the question is obsolete if Studio '13 is unable to link to a file...
Re-install Studio '09 seems to be the solution
Eric.
Can't you just add your file or link to the Resources tab?
Hi Scorpion!
This thread is a bit dated, but you are correct and that is a great way to add/link to files.
Here's how to attach resources to your player in Articulate Presenter '13.
