Changing Articulate Logo to Custom Logo changes output size

Sep 01, 2011

Hello all.

I changed the Powered by Articulate Logo at the bottom left of the screen with a custom logo (swf file) and it has reduced the html output size to about 75%. 

I copied the new file logo.swf to the presenter directory and modified the playerproperties.xml file as advised in "Replace the Articulate logo in the player" technote and it does indeed change the logo.  Unfortunately, the screen output is also reduced. 

Has anyone seen this before?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

I too experienced the reduction in Presenter size when using a custom logo.   However, I'm perplexed how to create a .swf file from an image using actionscript 2.0 as seems most tools are build for actionscript 3.0.   I also have Snagit but only seems to output to as3 unless there are some settings I'm missing.   Thanks.

I'm experiencing a similar problem. I have replaced the Articulate logo with my company's logo (used a .swf file that includes a link to the corporate web site). Although I have the player template set to "Scale presentation to fit browser window," when I use my logo, the player displays as if I've selected the option "Lock presentation at optimal size." I know that my customization is causing the problem because the course scales to fit the browser window when I *remove* the customization. In fact, the download bar displays in a larger size and then pops down to a smaller size as the course is loading, so I can tell that the setting is being applied and then disregarded for some reason.

I didn't create the .swf file, and I don't have Flash. The person who created the logo tells me that he followed Articulate's recommended best practices.

Is there any way for me to tell what Action Script is used without having Flash? I've attached the logo.

Thanks!
