Automatically Resize Web Object

Hi Joe,

I apologize for the inconvenience.  However, Articulate is unable to resize the content in the web object (iframe).  

I did a quick search on the web and resizing content inside of an iframe typically requires a lengthy JavaScript solution.  So, it's not currently possible in Articulate Presenter '09.

Argggh, I was afraid of that answer.  Thank you very much for your prompt response.  I may end up locking the player to a specific size.

Hi Joe. After a search on a simialr issue, I saw your post. Would you be able to provide me with any guidance as to how you were able to resize your web object? Just out of curiosity, did you create the web object? I created a capture using Captivate 5.5 and then I had to create my own html file to support using it in Articulate. That went well; however, when I open up the object in Articulate, it's about the size of a postage stamp!

Thanks!

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

I have some basic HTML coding skills, so I was able to hack around and create the html file.  Usually with resizing web objects you would add tag elements for height and width similar to what I posted above...

A quick google search on resizing web objects would get you the answer you are looking for.  Hope that helps.

Hi!

Solve this problem by css means.

Below a part of html code:

#flash{

  overflow:hidden !important;

  width:100%;

  height:100%;

  text-align:center;

}

Where would I need to go to insert the code Maxim mentions?

nevermind, I was able to locate the CSS file for my project (not with the SL files as I had assumed).

Hi,

I know it's been a while but do you recall where/how you added the correct code to have the web object automatically resize?

Hi Jim,

The CSS was one of the output files generated when I published my videos (using Camtasia).

Thanks for popping back in to share Adam :)

Thanks for the quick reply.  So any tips on how/where I would modify the CSS of the Storyline output? 

Hi Jim,

Not sure with respect to the StoryLine output.

This makes sense as if one opted to leverage the Articulate Online output format (as I do), there would be no opportunity to modify SL output files.

Logically, it isn't SL where the issue resides. It's with the files associated with the web object itself. I'd look in those files over SL output files.
