I'm trying to finalize the show I've been working on, but can't seem to find a resolution that I like. When I use it on my machine that has a very high resolution, it looks dandy, but in a smaller resolution world, the 931x713 that I have selected just is too large. Along with the player, you can't get to the previous and next buttons.
Also, this thread starts specific to story size for iPad viewing, but there is a lot of great discussion about how sizing impacts different elements and overall sizes best for viewing on any device.
I would recommend looking at it from another angle... What are the more common sizes that your learners will be using your courseware in? Usually, working towards to lowest common denominators will be better for you... smaller screen still looks fine in a larger screen area, you only see more empty areas.. However, trying to take a course with a larger resolution in a smaller screen means your learners will have to keep scrolling the screen to see the content, which is a big turn off.
Having said that, I would also suggest that you have different resolution for the different devices, such as learning via computer/laptop using one screen size and learning via mobile device such as ipad and tablet.

There are options to have a published Storyline project to auto-adjust to the user's screen/browser window size. See some info here: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/changing-the-browser-settings-and-player-size.aspx
Hi Janel,
You'll also want to keep in mind how the player features you include will impact your Story size.
