Hi Wendy.

I would consider not having your web objects open in a new window. The reason is that if someone has pop up blockers enabled, they might never realize that there is a web object on a particular slide. You can insert the Captivate into your presentation and then adjust the presentation so that it fills the screen under Player Templates -> Other. I am personally not that familiar with Captivate but if Captivate does have window size settings, you could host the Captivate movie independently of your presentation and simply add a hyperlink in your presentation to the Captivate video.

Morning Peter and Justin

thankyou for the replies.

Peter - I have upoloaded the package to Articulate support

Justin - The course is using a slide only layout and the client specifically wants the Captivate Sim to open in a new browser window that is a. either at full screen when it displays, or b. that the user can maximise to full screen.

I have tried a combination of the options below but am not sure if I am confusing things.

Do the Player Templates Browser Window Settings override the Web Object settings.  Do the Web Object settings override the index.html that needs to be created to insert the Captivate Sim as a Web Object?

Can you confirm what the player options should be for the following Browser Windows Settings bearing in mind the layout is SLIDE ONLY and the client wants the Captivate Sim to launch in a separate window at the learners full screen (regardless of their screen size).

Browser Size:

• Display at user's current browser size
• Resize browser to optimal size
• Resize browser to fill screen

Presentation Size:

• Scale presentation to fill browser window
• Lock presentation at optimal size

Really appreciate your help with this.

Many thanks

Wendy

Hey Wendy,

Did you receive a case number when you uploaded it so I can keep an eye on it? Thanks!

Wendy, can you give a link to the KB article you refer to in the first post?  I'd like to take a look and haven't been able to find what you are referring to.

thanks guys

HI Wendy,

I have this exact same problem. Creating web objects for simulations have limited their size.

Please do share any solution that you come across.

Thanks,

Hi Wendy,

I was able to increase the size of the simulation by increasing the size specifications in the web object by editing in note pad. You can make it as big as you want. Please try it. Worked for me!

Cheers!
