Widgets in Captivate 5

This was related to my previous topic about Captivate 5 modules scaling with browser when viewed from Connect Pro.

A Captivate 5 module that has any type of widget in the module will not scale with the browser window when viewed from Connect.

A Captivate 5 module that does not contain a widget will scale with the browser window when view from Connect while in a coarse or curriculum.

If I change it to

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

The Captivate project will scale with the browser window. The problem is that I can no longer make changes to the widget in Capitvate because it mess up the widget UI.

There has to be away to prevent this from being passed on to Captivate.

My customers are demanding that my training Scale with the browser Window.

Michael from the CP Guru helped me and made a Widget with

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;

that fixes this problem.

His site has all kinds of  Widgets for Captivate.
