B4002 - I can't resize my ActiveMovie window! What do I do? by - Joseph Ganci My problem is that
I can get the ActiveMovie control to load in A4W in an ActiveX icon (the only
icon in the program) but it only plays in a miniscule 50x50 window.
In effect it is showing the upper left hand corner - and also
missing the controls. I tried fooling with some of the properties but
couldn't the original Unfortunately I have about a day before they are going
to place the order. I'd love to be able to get ActiveMovie running
in A4W and thereby know that we can use this lab for our program. Do
you have any ideas?
Yes, it's a little
odd how this works, but here it is:
Bring in your movie.
It will appear in a little window as you said. At this point, pause
Authorware. The movie should disappear but you should see an outlined
box in its place. You can now grab a corner of the box and resize it.
You may need to play
with the other options to make the movie look the way you want it, but this
will solve your problem. If it doesn't work, try running the program
until the movie appears, then hit pause at that point.
Oh, one other thing.
Because of the way ActiveMovie works (sort of in the background), you may
need to click once on the movie before you pause. |
