Full Screen background trouble

Hi,
I'm trying to publish a Captivate 4 project to EXE with the Full Screen setting on.
In the skin editor border tab, a very light grey is selected as background colour, but the customer wanted me to change this: It should now use an html file instead. The customer told me to put this in the adobe/captivate4/publish/templates folder and replace the standard.html there.
No matter what I do though (replace, not replace), I always simply get a black background. Does anybody know how to solve this? I mean, it should never be black anyway, as a grey is selected...
Happy to try anything!
Julia

Hi Julia and welcome to our community
EXE and HTML are sort of mutually exclusive. I'm not sure if changing anything in the Publish/Templates folder would change a thing in the EXE output.
As for why you are getting a black background, that's a bit of a mystery. You say that you have selected a light grey for the HTML background color? It's been my experience that whatever you select for the "HTML Background Color" is also used for the EXE background if you are using the full screen option and the project is smaller than the full screen.
Perhaps try choosing a really wild color like Hot Pink. Then publish and see if the background now changes from Black to Hot Pink. Sometimes you find that a radical change like that will finally work where it failed otherwise. Then again, it could be a wasted effort. But certainly won't hurt to try.
And as I was typing this, it occurred to me that perhaps you could be thinking of something different when you say "Background Color". What I'm referring to is the color that surrounds the Captivate movie if it doesn't fill the screen, NOT the background of the Captivate movie itself. Like the image below:

Website with Full Screen Background Images

I'm trying to create a website with full screen background images (or possibly, a video) that will crop to the browser window. It's also important that the image be center-justified. The Die Antwoord site does pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd also like to know how they can use such high resolution images. If I try to use a high res image, the file size is enormous. Another site that uses similar technology only with a video is the TV on the Radio site.
I am fairly new to Flash so please forgive me if this is a rudimentary question. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply.
What I'm concerned about is the crispness of my full-page images. Am I right in assuming with a PDF folio, static images won't be as crisp? Is there a way to maintain its sharpness?

Responsive Full Screen Background image - How?

Hi,
I would be very grateful for any guidance on the CSS/HTML code that I need to use for inserting a static, 'responsive', full screen, background image on a website.
Best wishes
Simon

Depending on what kind of browser support you want to include, this can be a single line of css code...
background-size:cover;
...which takes care of all modern browsers back to IE9. Or, if you want to support older browsers (IE8 and lower), a more involved javascript would be required...

Full screen background slide show

Trying to create a full screen background slideshow (workarround).
But when I create a widget slideshow 1920px pinned to the background everything is working fine until a change some settings.
Like No counter. Muse then adapt the size of the widget to far more smaller?
More people this problem?

"Writing Video" is taking forever on an animated full screen background

29 minutes to get rid of the redline on a segment that includes an animated full screen background. I'm on FCP 6 with a 3.06ghz/4gb RAM/nvidia 8800.
I'm going to buy a new iMac for something else. Is this an argument to upgrade to the ATI card? Would it perform faster on this? What about the extra 4gb of RAM? Would that make a significant impact on this process?
Your insights are greatly appreciated.

One way is to let FCP X do all the resolution and aspect ratio calculations.
When you create a new project, choose the "First Clip" setting and then drop one of your clips into the timeline. Sometimes people will use a graphic with a non-standard aspect ratio as the first clip and inadvertently create a mismatch with their video.

How to set full screen background color in new Pages

I just updated to Mavericks and the new Pages...I often use a certain background color when I work in full screen mode, but that color is gone withe the upgrade and I don't see how to specify a color any longer...any ideas?
Thx.

Given over 90 removed features in Pages 5, I guess they were busy "not noticing" a lot more than the background color:

the movie is set to 100% x 100% instead of fixed pixels size,
causing the
SWF to fill any available space in browser. You can see the
html source code.

Full Screen Background HTML in iWeb...not working

So I've been doing some research on how to add a full screen adaptive photo in iWeb and I came across this ...
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3183484
The problem is I open an HTML snippet in my iweb page, paste the code, and nothing happens.
I realize I have to direct to where I want to pull the image from but, TBH, I'm a noob and can't figure this out. I've tried adding the image I want to my server via TRANSMIT (how I upload my website when I'm done designing) but everything I've tried doesn't work.
I'm not sure WHERE and what code to type into the HTML code given in the above link and I'm getting really frustrated.
the website I'm doing is
www.dallasanddoll.com
ANY help is appreciated....

Imagination is very important. You have to imagine that things happen.
You paste the code in a HTML Snippet and then publish the page to see the effect.
Also, you have to put the background image on the server yourself, or use one published by iWeb.
In both cases you have to determine the path to the image and use it in the code where it says '../images/beach.jpg' :
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3563737/Lycos/Beach.html
So, for instance, if you want to use this image (without the decoration) use :
../images/Dallas-And-Doll-INDEX2.jpg
or
/images/Dallas-And-Doll-INDEX2.jpg

Full screen background video

Hello.
I have purchased the Fullscreen background widget and have it installed in Muse cc . When you preview the page with the widget in the browser the video displays and plays no problem, but as soon as i add text in the normal way and then preview in browser the only thing that displays is the text, no video. Could somebody please advise on this?

Hi Sanjit.
Right. The last time i tried the fullscreen background video it was on a site i was already working on. So i started a new page away from that and after a little fiddling about i got some simple text on top of the video background which is a start. Now bearing in mind i was also following the Chris Kellett video while i was doing this i also, like in the video tried to add a footer item after that and the result was the video background was pushed and squashed to the top of the browser screen. I deleted and tried the whole thing again got the video back but no text on top or footer at the bottom.

Reduce brightness of Full Screen background

How can I do that please? It's rather too bright for me.

Hmm it would be a weird coincidence if it was with the host page or with youtube, since it happened immediately after I upgraded.
I'm using the latest version of Firefox, and I'm using the AdBlocker Add-on.
An Example page? Do you mean a link to a page where this is happening?
http://www.spikednation.com/evideo/baby-loves-beer
It seems to happen mostly on embedded videos.(Facebook is another place where it happens.)
It looks fine in normal mode but when you go to fullscreen the background turns white.
Any other info that might help? Thanks

Problem with full screen flash background

I want to use a shockwave swf animation as a full screen
background for a captivate presentation.
If I use, 'rest of movie' to display this swf background,
then any objects I try to put on top get covered over by the
animation... ie. I can't see them.
If I add the swf to each slide seperately ('rest of slide' or
any other setting), I can then see my other objects, but the
presentation gets huge - it sees the same swf multiple times (once
for each slide), even if I copy and paste. I am referring to the
size of the final generated swf file, btw.
I'm using v.1.01.
Thanks in advance..

Every time I think I've heard it all with regard to new
problems and new ways to create them, I see something like your
post, roke2468.
I am not being even a little bit critical; in fact, I admire
your creativity in even thinking of using animation as your
background!!
But the fact of the matter is, I don't believe there is any
way around the problem you are describing. Animation files are
generally large and when added to Captivate, it takes no time at
all to make the Captivate files humongous. Captivate just isn't
currently designed to be used this way - without exactly the
problems you are seeing. Sorry.
Welcome aboard the Community, and if we can figure out a way
to do what you are attempting (without blowing file-sizes and
download times into the stratosphere), we'll sure share it (neat
idea).

Full screen image that stays flush with bottom of browser?

I'm trying to make it so the image fills a full screen box and expands and contracts as usual, but always stays flush with the bottom of the browser AND allows for content below it when you scroll down. This means I cannot pin it. Is this a responsive design feature only, or is this possible with Muse? Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
http://kinhr.com

This effect is currently not available in Muse.
However, if you only want this effect for the first "browser window worth" of the page, it may work for you to use a full screen background image and then have content and 100% width rectangles on the page scroll over top and obscure the full screen background image as the visitor scrolls down to sections 2, 3, etc.
