Captivate running in a resized browser window

I have created a 800 x 600 captivate project. I will not be able to control the size of screen that customers run this project on so I'd like to take advantage of the internet browsers's zoom feature. Unfortuantey, when I zoom the browser to 75%, it does not scale the project. Instead it lops off 25% of it from the right and bottom edges (see image attached).
I did some googling and found that there is an easy way to address this in flash ( http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=224812 ). How would I apply this solution to my Captivate published files?
Any assistance would be MOST appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Sara

You can't add that code to a Captivate project since the program doesn't allow for actionscript code to be executed directly from within Captivate.
However - the default behavior of Captivate is to actually scale as you want it to so there is another reason to why your project doesn't scale.
My bet is that you have added a widget somewhere in your project and this widget most likely contain the NO_SCALE code to allow the developer to see the Widget Properties panel correctly. All of the stock Adobe widgets in CP5 contains this code and that affects your entire project causing it to not scale as you would like it to. Try and delete all widgets and see if your project scales as it should.

Resizing Browser Window

Hi,
I'm looking to publish my site and have the browser window
resize (or stay resized at) the document size (1000x674).
I thought i set the proper parameters in DW (i have a SWF
inside of it), but there seems to be extra white space on the right
side of the published document...(this seems to be outside of the
1000x674 default size)
i may be missing a line of code somewhere.
any help would be appreciated...you can see what i mean at
www.tunnel76.com
thank you in advance.

Why not just center the page content? Users tend to get
annoyed when the
browser gets adjusted without their consent.

Wrong height on resizing browser window

making browser window smaller body.offsetHeight is calculated wrong way.. is a 15px difference from window.innerHeight, making window bigger size is ok.
here is a test page:
http://zheton.bet.lv/safariBug.html

Awesome! If you figure out which one caused the problem it would be great if you could post back here and let us know so we can help others with this issue.

Since the last upgrade, FF no longer runs on my laptop! I get the crash report box but it never restarts upon pressing that option. I can't try the safe mode or the other self-help options because no FF browser window opens.

FF worked fine before I accepted the latest update just a few days ago. My friend who lives far away said that she also has problems since the upgrade. When I click on the thumbnail to open FF no window opens, all I see is the crash report. Without the window I can't try the self-helps or give a crash ID (from what I understand from reading the options). None of the options in the crash report restore the browser. When I click on one, the box just pops right back up.
Other than general slowness of my system and some possible hacking which got someone into my paypal account this week, I've had no other computer issues. (I've changed my email address with PP & changed my email passwords in case someone is accessing my machine through my email...I'm not very computer literate...I don't believe this can happen, yet no other options were presented).
Because my friend also experienced this crash issue I think this is totally related to the upgrade & what ever it did to my computer such that FF no longer loads.
Please give me steps to fix this issue without FF running--all the self-help techniques seem to assume that I can run FF, get a browser window, utilize the links therein. I can't get a window open at all!

YAY!! I have Safe mode!!
um, now what?

How do I easily resize firefox browser window in Vista?

I need to resize browser window so I can see a part of my desktop.

Thanks for your ongoing help. (And if this winds up being a duplicate post, my apologies in advance.)
I typed about:synch-log into the address bar and got an exclamation point inside a triangle next to a boldfaced message that reads "The address isn't valid."
Below that, in a box:
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded
Then a line then two bullet points
* Web address are usually written like http://www.example.com
* Make sure that you're using forward slashes (i.e. /)

Easiest way to Center imge in browser window

I have an almost full page image that I want to remain
centered right and left when the browser window is resized.
The BG is black so the black should grow evenly when the
resized browser window is changed.
I have tried different alignments but nothing keeps it
centered when the browser is resized.
Thanks for the help/

Autosize browser window

Hello I am looking for a way for a window to size itself to predeterminded dimensions when opened.
I have seen several examples of having a link that resizes the window it opens but that's not what I need. Only the home page needs to be a certain size, no need to put the open popup on all of the other pages linked to the home page...
Can this be done with a preload script in the header? I remember that GoLive had a behavior for this but that was long ago. Thanks to anyone that can point me in the right direction. -Derryl

Unfortunately, it's not just as easy as deviating from "web standards". Modern browsers now disallow such actions and as such you will find any answer to your solution has less than desired results. It is unlikely you will get an answer that will give you consistent results across browsers. You may need to re-think about what you are trying to achieve.
An example of this:
<body onLoad="moveTo(0,0); resizeTo(800, 1200)">
The code above WILL NOT WORK in Chrome, recent versions of FF and IE9 that I have tested. The reason it won't work is due to browsers actively disabling this ability. I only got it to work in IE7.
If you google "resize browser window onload" you get a bunch of answers/solutions. All more or less telling you the same thing.

#1009 on creationComplete when resizing browser during loading modules

I use Flex 3.5 on Mac with Safari. Same Problem with Firefox.
When I start my application that loads 8 Modules after login and I resize the browser window I get #1009. My views are in ViewStack that has creationPolicy "auto". Normally first time a view and it's childs get loaded is on the first itemClick in viewstack but if I resize browser window, creationComplete method of all views get called and the childs (like dataGrids or others) are null.
Why? and what can I do against this behaviour?
Thanks

No the Error is thrown in my onCreationComplete event handler when I try to use a DataGrid but it's null.
this view is in a module
the modules main view has a viewstack with creationPolicy none
"pages" that are childs of viewStack get created after an event get fired to a PageFlowManager
pages are creationPolicy all in general
this manager calls "pageContainer.createComponentsFromDescriptors(false);" at the beginning
in main application that calls shell I added months ago this
private function onApplicationComplete(event:FlexEvent):void {
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onStageResize);
private function onStageResize(e:Event):void {
validateNow();
I found this text somewhere:
The documents are not very clear on this (if not misleading), but what you have to do
is set creationPolicy to none on the canvas, and leave it off of it's children (default to all).
Doing so will create all of the children with recurse=true, or just it's immediate
children with recurse=false. You would have to call the function manually on any children
with creationPolicy set to none. So we choose false.
Now I tried to set "pageContainer.createComponentsFromDescriptors(true);" and somehow the error disappeared. Any ideas if that combination caused the creationComplete event if I resized the window on startup? And if yes why?

I cannot move, resize, minimize, or close the browser window despite everything inside the window still working.

I don't know what details are needed so I'll just rattle off anything that I can think of.
I am running an Asus laptop with windows 7. I have never had an issue with firefox in the past (beyond the usual freezing and some obvious issues with pop up ads that are par for the course with firefox since adblocker never does what it says.... not really. Lets be honest.) I am using Avast for my virus protection and it is also up to date.
My issue started about an hour ago when firefox stopped responding. The video I had playing kept going but I could not interact with anything. Assuming the program froze for the billionth time that week I rebooted it. This has always solved freezing issues in the past. Now, however, firefox is doing something new.
I can access the menus and almost everything on the window itself except for the minimize/maximize/close buttons, I cannot move the window at all, and I cannot manually resize it. I have also noticed that although videos will play, I can only click on their buttons if there is another smaller window overtop of firefox. The video controls will only appear that way and when I click them firefox naturally comes to the front and the video responds with the button I used but the buttons are gone again and I cannot resume playing without the smaller window back in front to make the buttons show again.
It's as if half of firefox is frozen while the other half is still running somehow.
I have no themes that could be causing this. Literally none. I only use firefox for the things that can no longer be opened in Opera so I have no need for any theme beyond default. The only addons I installed on purpose were adblockers (lord knows why. they don't DO anything.) though several other random things seem to have been installed over time to aid in one thing or another. Various plugins and players and versions of java, that sort of thing. But I have everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) in the addon menu disabled.
I have tried booting it up in safe mode (the program, not windows) and the problem is still there except now it won't show the menu bar at all unless I press the alt key first and even then it wont let me actually click on anything in the menu bar. When I try the whole bar vanishes. I had to close firefox with the task manager.
Rebooting will fix the issue for about 15 seconds before it all comes back.
Any attempts at updating have failed as it says I am already up to date on everything so I don't know what its issue is.
It's not an urgent issue right now as most of what i need to do can be done on the half screen window I am using, but some of my sites have buttons that literally vanish in anything but full screen and I imagine that this will be a much greater annoyance within a few days.

After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

Fluxbox browser window resize

When I go to a site that opens an image in a new window, then resizes that window to fit the image, fluxbox is resizing the window so the title bar is outside of the workspace. This means I can not close, move, maximize or minimize the window without first holding down the Alt key and dragging it down some.
Anyone know how to keep Fluxbox from resizing a window outside of the actual workspace?
If it matters, this behaviour is not happening in Gnome.

dp wrote:
this is not a fluxbox problem, but a bad webmaster :-)
i would suggest you to use a browser that can override javascript from resizing windows larger than the screen (i use konqueror and all new windows open in new tags and are not allowed to resize the master window)
EDIT: ion does not allow windows to be bigger than the screen
Well this problem does not happen with Mozilla in either GNOME or KDE, but does happen with Mozilla in Fluxbox. This would suggest to me that Fluxbox is handling the popup differently than other window managers.
I looked at the HTML and it seems to me that the webmaster is simply telling the browser to open a new window and passing along a size with no window placement information. Mozilla is then opening up the window with the titlebar off the screen. I would say it is Mozilla's problem except Fluxbox is the only window manager I have that is exhibiting the problem.
Here is an extremely simple page that exhibits this problem:
http://www.sitepoint.com/examples/jscri … picfit.htm
The window is first opened correctly in the top left corner. The the Javascript resizes the window and the titlebar goes off the top. Again, this does not happen in GNOME or KDE, so my original questions remains. Is it possible to get Fluxbox to behave like GNOME and KDE and not run a portion of the window off the page?

Firefox hangs and will not allow me to access other programs running when I resize a pop up window, move a pop up window, accidentally right click flash content.

== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Not sure when it statrted

Hi.
When this happens, please press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and see how much RAM and CPU Firefox is using. If they're sky high, then... Well, that kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix you issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.

Resize animation in browser window with toolkit for createjs

Hi. I'.m a flash newbie with little coding experience. I have an animation that I created in flash that I exported to html5 with toolkit for createjs. It looks good, however I would like to have the animation be proportionally sized to the browser window, so that it can be viewed on a variey of devices. My iPhone seems to adjust the size, however when I view it on the desktop, the bottom gets cut off, and remains the same size when I resize the browser window. Is there any way to have the animaton resize according to the browser window?
Thanks
Tom

Great news! I used media queries inside of CSS and got my home page to work on a nice 1280x720 effortlessly However, i have a slideshow script that has the image running 1000x400 and I am wanting to know if there is a way to access the variable of this script:
// JavaScript Document
var mygallery=new fadeSlideShow({
    wrapperid: "slideshow", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow
    dimensions: [1000, 400], //width/height of gallery in pixels. Should reflect dimensions of largest image
    imagearray: [
    ["slideshow/XavierHeadSlide1.jpg"],
        ["slideshow/XavierHeadSlide2.jpg"], ["slideshow/XavierHeadSlide3.jpg"]
         //<--no trailing comma after very last image element!
    displaymode: {type:'auto', pause:1500, cycles:0, wraparound:false},
    persist: false, //remember last viewed slide and recall within same session?
    fadeduration: 2000, //transition duration (milliseconds)
    descreveal: "ondemand",
    togglerid: ""
I want to access the "dimensions" variable in CSS so I can modify the size without having to create a second image that is slighty smaller... I tried setting the slideshow DIV as a CSS class, but it just simply cut off the image.
thanks a bunch for all of your help on this matter.

IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

Firefox will not open. Process runs, but browser window will not open.

I am unable to get the Firefox browser window to launch. The application will attempt to open, but the browser window will not appear. Task manager indicates that the process is running, it just will not launch the window. No amount of restarts or reboots will make a difference. The strange thing about this is that Firefox has never run. This is a new computer and this issue has been a problem since it was first plugged in.
Troubleshooting steps attempted thus far:
1) Attempted to open in safe mode - will not open
2) Attempted to run in administrator mode- will not open
3) Completely uninstalled application, including profile info and reinstalled
4) Uninstalled known conflicts - Skype 4 (do not have Norton)
5) Even though issues since new, I ran a virus scan just in case-nothing
6) Uninstalled Chrome which I installed after originally being unsuccesful at getting FF to install (I uninstalled it before I began all of these troubleshooting steps as I have heard of conflicts)
I am now at a loss and willing to try any other steps that you guys can suggest.
Computer is running Windows 7 pro 64 bit. Running McAffee virus software. There are three identical computers in my office, purchased at exactly the same time with the same configuration. Mine is the only one that will not run firefox. Sadness. Please help, pleeeease...

Win 7 with iTunes installed - I was also having problems with that.
"netsh winsock reset" at the command prompt resolved all issues and Firefox launched normally.
Check to see if Winsock is corrupted. May prevent FF from communicating with the web and consequently fails to launch properly - for my situation was not a firewall or antivirus block!
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936211#LetMeFixItMyselfAlways
Click Start, and in Start Search, type cmd.
Right-click the cmd entry that appears in the search results, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
netsh winsock reset
Then, you should see the following message:
Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.
Restart the computer.
Note If you receive an “Access Denied” error message instead of the message that is mentioned in step 3, the command prompt was not correctly elevated. In this case, close the Command Prompt window, and repeat steps 1 through 3. Make sure that you correctly implement step 2.
