Captivate not zipping files for LMS

I have created a course and I want to export it in a zipped file to my LMS. I used to go to Publish, select flash and click on zip files but today it stopped working. It no longer zips the files.

I have no idea why it stopped or if inadvertenly changed something by mistake.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FG

FG,

Make sure you do not have "full screen" checked in the Output Options of the Publish dialog.

That did it, what an odd setting. Why can't I have it open up in full screen if the file is being zipped to make it work on an LMS?

If you want it to open in full screen - I can give you code to do that...  :)

FG,

How do you want the full-screen functionality to behave?  Do you want a window that is maximized?  Do you want a window that can't be resized?

I would like to open in full screen when it's launched. They can resize it if they would like, but the initial launch should be fullscreen.

Thanks

FG,

Here is some code you can insert into the HTM file - but this may or may not work based on settings that may affect this...  For example, if you are importing into Adobe Connect - the HTM file might not be launched (but the SWF file might be).  If you are using a different system, this code will work for you:

            setTimeout(resizeWindow, 1000);

            function resizeWindow()
            {
                top.window.moveTo(0,0);
                if (document.all)
                {
                    top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
                } else if (document.layers || document.getElementById) {
                    if (top.window.outerHeight < screen.availHeight || top.window.outerWidth < screen.availWidth)
                    {
                        top.window.outerHeight = top.screen.availHeight;
                        top.window.outerWidth = top.screen.availWidth;
                    }
                }
            }

Does that help?

Andrew
