Location of external video window

Feb 13, 2018

I have a SL 360 presentation with  several external videos. I'm using the trigger to open the movie in a new window, and I have controlled the size of the movie window.

My question is, can I control the location of the external window? The default seems to be 0,0 on the x,y dimensions.  I'd rather the movie window was in the upper right rather than the upper left, but I don't see where I can specify that.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Kate Petersen

Hi Kate, 

Within Storyline the setting is only to open in new window or the existing window, so options connected to where it opens on the screen or at what size will be left to the individual browser itself. 

It may be something you could control with Javascript, so hopefully others in the ELH Community are able to share some ideas with you here!

Thanks Ashley.  

So far only Firefox opens the videos in a new window. Chrome will only download the video file. Is there something I can do to force Chrome to open the video in a new window like Firefox does?  If specific code is needed in the HTML of the movie's window, what is that code?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Kate
