Web object margin or Engage background margins?

Hi Leah

I'm not too good with web objects and html so I insert my engage interactions as flash movies, then you can resize or move them however you please. Maybe this will work for you?

Thanks Blair. I went back and tried this approach. I think it could work but would prefer to use the web object since Articulate automatically gathers those files itself. I don't trust myself to remember to copy over the files each time I publish and I'll be handing this over to someone else to maintain in the future. I had hoped to keep it as simple as the web object.

Anyone else have any tips for the web object margins? If not I think I'll go with Blair's thought.

Thanks!

Hi Leah

Engage interactions can be inserted from the presenter ribbon, you can also make the border transparent and allow your slide masters to show through, better than inserting as a web object

Hi Leah,

I think it's a web object thing. I've created a flash object but because it uses Action Script 3.0 I have to insert it as a web object. When I do the object is smaller when viewed in presenter than when viewed externally. I.e. when viewing outside presenter the object is the exact right height but when in presenter, even though I use the custom dimensions it seems to scale down and have a border space around it.

Unfortunately I haven't discovered the solution yet but if I do I'll let you know!

Thanks everyone. I think for now I'm going to use the swf option since it's getting me the closest to the look I want for the course.

@Phil - I didn't want to use the standard Engage insert because we've had feedback from our learners having trouble when the navigation moves (for example, from the bottom labelled as next, to the top in the Engage). By using the swf I can include the template navigation.

@Kat - please do let me know if you find a solution to the extra space. I looked at the HTML but I'm not as proficient with it as I used to be.

Thanks again everyone for your ideas!
