Going full screen

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

Hello Lisa,

IE 11 security features are blocking the javascript from running it locally. Try uploading it to your webserver or LMS and try again.

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

• 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

Hello,

I made a few more tests. You have to have user input to go fullscreen (mouse or keyboard).

I'm on a project with keyboard navigation so I made a SWF that will use keypresses to go fullscreen.

It works but... they're a huge drawback : no keyboard input in fullscreen mode !

I tried using : stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE instead of stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN but it's not working once the Flash is imported into Storyline.

I think there should be some kind of authorisation <param name="allowFullScreenInteractive" value="true" />to put in the HTML page somewhere but I don't know where and how.

 EDIT :

You have to edit this line as follow in story_content\story.js and it works !

strHtml += "<param name='allowFullScreenInteractive' value='true' />";

Hi Suneeta,

There isn't a true full screen option within Storyline - and so your course will fill the screen based on a few different factors such as your story size (in comparison to your screen size), what you set in regards to the player/browser settings, and any player elements added. 

Here is my example for a Fullscreen Player. I used a Web Object and some javascript code that is on the master slide.

Storyline doesn't have the toggle option that Articulate Presenter does, if that's what you're asking. The output is going to be based on your story size & publish options. There is a "full screen" option when playing on a mobile device inside the Articulate Mobile Player but it honestly doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

Not sure if that answered your question or not.

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.
