Full screen button?

When my lessons are launched within our LMS, it opens in a a small IE window where you cannot adjust the size. In speaking with our internal LMS people they said they are unable to tweak files on their end as I could when I was using Moodle.
Is there a way to add a button to a Captivate project that would allow user's to get a full-screen view? Or any other option? From what I understand enabling the Full-screen option when publishing doesn't work when published in SCORM or AICC. I'm using Cp4 but upgrading to Cp5 next week.
Thanks!

Hi there
Captivate and full screen are troublesome. This is because Captivate renders things in a bitmapped fashion. As a result, any deviation in presentation size from what the Captivate author used when developing will inevitably result in a loss of clarity. The degree to which things suffer depends on how much scaling is occurring. It may not be too bad and it may be awful.
The full screen option in Captivate really doesn't stretch the presentation to occupy the entire screen. What it does is create a second HTML page that contains a link and JavaScript to open the first HTML page in a manner where as much "chrome" (toolbars and such) is removed from the browser in order to allow maximum space to be available to the presentation.
This is true for all versions of Captivate. 5 included.
Cheers... Rick

Full screen button disappeared and other oddities

i have a bunch of TV shows that i put in playlists and let run all night (they help me sleep). up until last night they all work fine, going from one to the next in full screen. now, all of a sudden, the episodes have trouble maintaining full screen after one episode and not only that but the playback gets choppy for some reason. ALSO, my full screen button for video has disappeared from the bottom of iTunes.
any ideas? everything else seems to be working fine.

the problem was in the lower left corner album art display. when it is clicked to select "now playing" everything is fine. when it is clicked to display "selected item" it looses it's fullscreen in a playlist.

How do i add a Full Screen Button?

Hi guys,
I have used Quicklime X - File > Save for Web option to upload a video to my web site.
This gave me a Java Script player and code to embed into my site, i have all the files running local on my server and the videos works well.
My problem is that there is no full screen button on this player...
Dose anyone know where i could find some code to add a full screen button to this player?
I cant imagine it being to hard... but my knowledge of java is very limited.
Thanks for your help
Alex

Despite the similarity in names, Java and JavaScript are separate languages. For embedding Flash players or controls in web pages, you would be using JavaScript.

How do I code a full screen button?

I need to code a full screen button for a SWF. I've tried a few ways but I can't get it to work.
Here's my Action Script:
function goFullScreen():void
    if (stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.NORMAL)
    stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
    else
    stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
    fsb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _handleClick)
    function _handleClick(event:MouseEvent):void
    goFullScreen();
Here's my html:
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
<param name="allowFullScreenInteractive" value="true" />
Any help with this would be greatly appriciated. I've tried online tutorials and code snippets but none of them work. It's only a few lines of code but I can't seem to get this feature to work.
Thanks,
David

How do I add a full-screen button to mp4 videos?

I am making a multi-screen HTML 5 help project. We want to add videos. Right now the videos are mp4, but really we could convert them to anything. I want the videos to appear on the page at a nice small specified size. That I can do. However, I want the user to be able to expand the video to a boarderless full-screen size, similar to Youtube videos. I can't find any option to add a full-screen button to the video player. Can it be done in Robohelp? Do I have to buy an external video player?
Thanks.

How do I make full screen button for interactive PDF

I know in Acrobat I can set the PDF to open in full screen mode. I want the PDF to open in normal view. There will be a full screen button. Click once and the PDF expands to full screen. Click again and the PDF reverts to normal size.
I wasn't sure where to post this but figured this is the place to start. Any advice on how to do this appreciated.
Here's a movie of a PDF that has the feature I'm seeking:
Full Screen Normal Screen button
Was testing the link and I see you need QT Pro to download. Here's a zip archive of the same movie for download.
Movie Download

The client (a woman's club) indicated that about half the women found the full screen annoying and the other half found normal view annoying. So I made it an option. Also, most PDFs I receive such as ID magazine have the option to view normal or full.
One thing I haven't figured out is how to get the page you're on to be highlighted. So if you go to page 5 in PDF, I would want the button for 5 to be highlighted in red. I ended up using page numbers but would like to be a bit more streamlined.
I received a PDF the other day and at the top when the page numbers and left/right arrows are, the page numbers read
FC, IFC, 1, 2, etc.,
IBC, BC. I thought that was pretty cool. I imagine it has something to do with pagination in ID. Have to see if I can figure that out.

Full screen button in MS Word for Mac 2011?

Does anyone know how to add the full screen button (two diagonal arrows in the top right hand corner of most apps) to MS Word for Mac 2011? I don't want to use full screen mode. I just want to get Word to fill the screen without manual adjustment.

I recently had my hard drive replaced and had to reinstall Microsoft 2011. I know for a fact that I had the diagonal arrows before and now they are gone. I have searched high and low on how to get them back on with no luck.

Adding full screen button to DW Flash video?

When I finish a project, I take the video out of Apple Compressor as a .flv file. I then take this and drag it into an HTML file in DreamWeaver. This brings up the "Insert FLV" window, where I can choose some controls, set auto play, etc. None of the preset controls has a "full screen" button. I'm looking for a way to add this functionality to our web site. Are there either 1) other controls templates that I can download that have this built in or 2) an easy way to add full screen fuctionality to that already existing template? Bear in mind I know little about using the Flash program itself, but I have and I will if I need to manually edit something. Ideally, there would be just some other template that I can download to do this kind of thing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Carl

Thanks for the reply.
I've already thought of YouTube, but our organization's filter occasionally blocks YouTube content, therefore it's unreliable for us to use for our internal viewers (we are a school district)
Your Option 2 doesn't work for us because we don't want to open and use Flash each time we embed something. Our workflow is quick now because it comes right from compressor and goes right to DreamWeaver. The ONLY drawback is that we can't make it full screen, which is what I"m trying to rectify. I don't want to add another program/step into the mix here.
Ideally, the solution to this would be a place I can download a "plugin" template for Dreamweaver to add more options to the drop down list when I add the flv to the web page, that would of course include a full screen button. The other option would be a resource I can use to figure out how to modify the existing Flash settings to use Flash to make a full screen button on that.
Ideas?
Thanks

Why No Picture When Full Screen Button Is Pressed?

When I open up IPhoto all the thumbnails load OK. Yesterday I tried to show my grandson some of his younger pictures taken 3 years ago by hitting the Full Screen button. What we saw was a dotted frame with an exclamation mark inside. To my dismay many of my older pictures display the same thing. How do I solve this problem?

If you deleted pictures then you moved and altered things. Then rebuilding won't work.
You'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Remember: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
You do everything in the iPhoto Window - there is simply never a need to do anything in the iPhoto Library Folder. Ever.
To delete pics: in the iPhoto Window put them in the iPhoto trash and then go iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash. This removes pics from the Library and the HD.

Why is the full screen button missing in iPhoto11 after Lion upgrade?

I upgraded to iPhoto11 with Snow Leopard with no problems. Loved the new look and full screen view. Now that i've installed LION iPhoto appears to have reverted back to the iPhoto 09 look. For example, the full screen tab is missing.... WTH???

I think the problem is that the full-screen button has been moved in the Lion apps. In Snow Leopard it used to be the bottom left, in Lion it is in the top right corner. Is it there in your case?

Full Screen Button won't activate with JAWS screen reader

Hi,
I use a JAWS screen reader for testing compliance issues. On some videos I'm testing, when I activate the Full Screen button, the video goes to full screen mode for a second and then returns to normal screen mode. Please, can anyone offer me a solution?
Thanks,
Rosemary

You should consult the JAWS forum. There's absolutely no issue with fullscreen on Flash itself. The issue lies with the JAWS text synth functionality.

Full Screen Button in Captivate Player?

I'm adding captivate demos into my RoboHelp 8 project and was
wondering if one could add a Full Screen button to the captivate
player to enable the same functionality that is now available when
adding Captivate movies to PDFs.
Thanks!

Welcome to our community, Clay
There is no functionality like that that I'm aware of. At
least not directly in Captivate or in RoboHelp. Sorry.
But a thought does spark here. I suppose you might try
creating the Captivate inside the PDF. Then drop the PDF into
RoboHelp. Maybe that would provide what you are looking for.
Cheers... Rick

Why my numbers doesn't have full screen button?

iOS5.1
Numbers1.6
I'm reading the guider now, it says that in the upright corner there is a full screen button, but I can't find it. Anyone help me?

The new version removed the full screen button and functionality. I am not sure if they have updated the document your reading or if you downloaded an old version of the documentation.

No full screen button for many flash videos (with the exception of youtube).

I am using windows 8.1. I have updated flash and firefox. I can watch full screen videos on youtube but on sites like thedailyshow.com or southparkstudios.com there is no full screen button (only a cc button). I can find the button in chrome but not in ie or ff.

If I understand correctly, your instructions enable a web page to be viewed in full screen. I'm having trouble viewing videos in full screen. No button exists to expand a video. I can expand any video on any browser on YouTube but the button isn't there when watching videos on sites like dailyshow.com or southparkstudios.com (it's there in Chrome but not in ff or ie, which leads me to believe it's not an Adblock plus, et al issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

How do I make a Full screen button in inDesign for interactive PDF?

I posted this question in the inDesign forum and someone told me to post it in the Acrobat forums.
I would like to make a button in inDesign to give users the option to view a PDF at Full Screen. Much like the button the inDesign Magazine PDFs have.
Thank you for any help!
Best,
John

How do I add a Acrobat button to my inDesign button? I created a button in inDesign with a rollover feature and I want to preserve this feature in Acrobat. Can I apply some type of "invisble" button in Acrobat with a Acrobat JavaScript action?
