Going full screen

I'm looking at doing an immersive type simulation or story walk thru.

Having the option to go full screen would really be helpful.  Can I add that

to a wish list somewhere.  Many flash skins have that full screen option and

it's very useful also when watching videos. 

Thanks.

Hi Ted,

Always feel free to share your input with us here. Thanks!

Hi

I'm looking at embedding storyline as an iframe into html pages in our LMS but was wondering if there was any way of allowing viewers to make the presentation full screen, as some of the text is very small when viewed within the iframe itself?

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

There's nothing within Storyline that would allow you to do that at this time, but I agree that would be a cool feature request. 

I second that -- need the ability to go full screen.

There's got to be a way of making the presentation bigger.  If not, then this should be a priority, because it's not visibly appealing in it's current format.

Hey Robert!

Are you also hoping for a toggle presentation size option, or are you interested in increasing your story size from the start, because that is possible. 

Hey, all - 

Caught wind of this thread. There's a way but it requires adding an additional widget. Download the attached SWF. You can add it to your master slide. It will only work when published to HTML with the Flash output. Won't work with HTML5.

When the SWF is placed on your slide or master, the button toggles fullscreen or reverses the fullscreen.

This works for me. If you want something more fancy or custom (hotkeys, etc), hit me up. Can put something together relatively cheaply

Awesome, Steve.

I would like to see a Fullscreen toggle button in future releases, however.  Already have users asking for it as I convert courses from Presenter to Storyline.  Will use the above .swf file - thank you, Steve.

I'm not sure how to insert the SWF file into the master slide.  When I clicked on it initially, I got a blank screen.  Now when I click on it, I get an error message:

AccessDenied

Rquest has expired

And some more meta tags.

To work, this needs to be published to HTML output and run in a browser. This is working for me but I haven't tested across multiple browsers. Where is the message appearing for you?

When I click directly on the fullscreen.swf file he attached.

• Is the message appearing in a popup? 
• Do you see this when previewing or when running within a browser window? 
• In which browser(s) are you seeing this appear?
• What Flash player version do you have loaded on the machine where you're seeing this issue? http://whatismyflash.com

I have the same blank screen issue. When I try and download the .swf file I have a blank screen with a small black text box in the lower left corner of the screen that says  full screen. Can you re-post please Steve with the .swf file attached for download

Thanks.

Right-click the swf file above and select Save-as to save the file to your local machine. I've attached a demo story here that contains the SWF in the first slide. You'll need to publish this to HTML to see the result. Preview won't show the effect.

Hey Steve,

Nice one ! We were looking at doing that ourselves and couldn't work it out.

We've tried downloading the swf, then adding it to our story file. Only trouble is that when you publish in flash, then view the page in a browser, although the functionality works fine, it creates a "blinking effect": whenever you go from one page to the other, or go back and forth using the seekbar, the whole page flickers. Have you also experienced that?

We've tried different browsers, and got the same result. I've got flash player 11.6 here.

Any idea would be welcome

Cheers

Steve, Thanks for the swf file. That did exactly what i was looking for. Can you attach the flash source file for creating the fullscreen swf. I want to modify the look of the button. Or else, maybe just the method (action script code?) you used to make this. that would be really helpful to me. 

Thanks!

Hi Steve

This is really great. But I second Daniel's request.

We want the sourcecode!! We want the sourcecode!! :P

Sorry about this. I missed the message. I've attached an updated version with a single icon for toggle. 

just what i was looking for! thanks

I'd like to add my voice to those requesting that Storyline include a feature that lets me publish a course without the player appearing. Even without the menu on the left, the top and bottom parts of the player take up a lot of screen real estate. I'd gladly create my own Next and Prev buttons if it meant that the actual content of the course could fill the screen.

Hi, everyone!!

Steve,

Does the widget allows me to go fullscren mode, but keeping storyline current size?
I mean... my SL is 900 x 550px... and i want it to remain that size on fullscren, practically just want to remove the browser window and fill space around with the default html background image or fill color, so student can keep focused.

Thanks dude!! 

With a minor change to the FLA, expanding to fullscreen with a no scale should work. Changing this line:

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;

- to -

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

Should get it. See the attached.
