I soooooo appreciate all the help I've gotten here so far! Here's my latest question: I'm adding a custom SWF file to my Articulate presentation.
Unfortunately its width is about 60 pixels too wide for Presenter so it
doesn't look quite the way I want when I publish. How do I make the sidebar narrower? I want to show my whole movie without manually
reducing the size of the placeholder. Because when I resize it like that it doesn't look as good.
HI Babette - thanks for the help you've shared with me. I certainly appreciate it.
Is it possible to reduce the size of your Flash movie? You could also scale it down 60 pixels in your PowerPoint slide. I've done that before and it worked great.
I dont think you can change the side bar. You might try setting that slide's view mode to slide only or no sidebar. You can do that in the slide properties setting. I'm sure that one of the tutorials covers that.
Hi Babette - yeah, there isn't currently an option to make the sidebar narrower, but Chris has a good idea about using No Sidebar view. In fact it's funny you should ask about this because I just blogged a tip about this today! You can insert a movie up to 980x560 on your slide if you use No Sidebar view, and it won't get scaled down. Here's the post if you're interested in checking it out.
Hey I like that no-sidebar approach. In fact I might even see if we can re-create the video at the 980x560 size now that I know how to make it fill up the whole player. Very cool. Thanks!

Maybe another option is to have it open in a new window so that you don't have to worry about the player width at all? just a thought...
