CP4 exports to wrong .swf size

Report · Jan 12, 2010

Can ANYONE tell me why the attached file outputs at 641 x 511? I have 5 of these files that do that, and dozes of others that publish correctly.

I captured and added screen shots at 640 x 480 (removed all except 1 and still didn't fix).

When I publish to .swf and .html it should be 640 x 504 since the controller adds 24 pixels to the bottom of the swf. NOT!

I checked all the elements in my file they are all 640 x 480.

I was able to fix this by copying the slides into a CP4 file that did publish properly at 640 x 504 so no need to offer solutions for a fix. I just want to know why this is all jacked! If my fault please let me know , if not THANKS AGAIN ADOBE!

It's because of your border settings. If you go to the Skin Editor you can see that you have a bottom border of 30px selected. Therefore the size of your project will be enlarged not by 24 px for the playbar but with 30 px due to the border. Captivate also adds 1 px in the width and 1 px extra because you added a border making the final project size 641px x 511 px.

Simply remove the border and you will get the correct size of 640px x 540px

Exactly, thank you! Now how I selected the border remains a mystery!

Hi!

I don't now if this solves your problem, but I had the same one...

You think that the project will export the same size that the created project, but it adds size!

I do like this, when publishing, I choose "export html" in Output options, then, I open the HTML file with notepad, to get the REAL size of the format.
