Configuring Flash Movie In Articulate Player

If you have chosen to Display in Articulate Player in Step 2 of 3 in the Insert Flash Movie Wizard, complete the following steps to finish the configuration of your Flash Movie.

Step 3 of 3 – Flash Movie Wizard:

On this page there are three options:

1.       Movie Size. The initial dimensions will default to the size of your inserted Flash movie.  Occasionally, the correct dimensions of the inserted .swf cannot be determined. In these cases, the correct dimensions of the Flash movie should be entered here.  (Note: inserted Flash movies cannot be scaled - they will always play at 100%.)  The maximum width you can set is 720 pixels and the maximum height is 540 pixels; if the dimensions of your movie are greater than 720x540, it is suggested that you configure your movie to Display in new browser window.

2.       Show Flash movie after: 0 seconds.  This allows you to determine how soon after your slide loads during the presentation that your Flash movie begins to play.  If you would like for there to be a delay between your slide loading and your Flash movie appearing, enter the number of seconds you want the delay to be.  The default is 0 seconds, which means that your Flash movie will play immediately.

3.       Set this slide’s navigation to advance by user.  This controls whether the slide will advance automatically after the slide completes, or if the user must manually advance the slide.  The default is to let the user advance the slide.  It is recommended to allow the user to advance the slide so the user can have a chance to view the Flash movie.  If you prefer to have the slide advance automatically, simply uncheck this option, but keep in mind that the user may not have had a chance to view the movie.

When you are finished setting the options on this page, click Next to continue.
