Alignment of swf for web output
Oct 09, 2012
Is there a way to set a default alignment for story.swf as it appears in the story.html page?
The default output when published for the web is "center," and other than editing the javascript variable g_strAlign on each story.html page, I can't find a way to do it. My team is producing a large number of "stories" and I'd really like to find a way around this extra step.
I can't find a "top" alignment variable, either. Ideally we'd want to align the output top-left, since we're producing "stories" that will display in an LMS and want to conserve screen space.
thanks!

HI - does anyone have any ideas about alignment per above, or should I submit this as a support question or a feature request, or....?
thanks!

Hi Michelle,
Yeah, currently the default is centered and I don't believe that can be changed through a setting. This would be a nice feature request. Thanks!
Have you found a solution to get Storyline output to appear in the top-left? I tried changing g_strAlign to equal "top" and nothing changed.
What is the fix for this? My client is very unhappy.
Hi Michael and welcome to Heroes,
This is not yet a feature within Storyline, and as Peter mentioned previously it would need to be a feature request. I'm unable to assist with editing of Javascript, but hopefully there is someone here in the forums who could offer some additional insight.
Over 2+ years and still no solution for changing a hardcoded variable output during publish other than "edit by hand..."
Blind feature request forms are not very user friendly. We have submitted this "feature request" twice over the last two years with no response or any indication that this is even on the radar.
Hi Jason,
We don't share a product road map in regards to future features or a timeline of updates/versions, but please know that these feature requests go to our product team and are tracked in terms of what and how many - so the more submitted, the better.
