Hi Ron,

This is also my observation, that the resize is too late. But I haven't
found a better solution yet.

- Your fix for XOT is correct.
- The desktop is a different story. First, you must realise that the desktop
version 'copies'  the model into the project on creation time. So, you have
to do this for ALL your LO's.
- To do this for new LO's you have to change the original templates
   For the Page Templates you need to change the model inside the Page
Templates.xtp (this is a zip file, normally insatlled in C:\Program Files
(x86)\Xerte\wizards)
   For the Page Wizards (the Jonathan Kemp solution), you need to edit the
model in the youtube.xcp file (the .xcp file is a zip archive, normally
installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Xerte\wizards\g) Misc)

By the way, the latest desktop version (and I assume the latest XOT as well)
have a new property, video size and that has the same effect as your fix.

This 'fix' for youtube sizing works too in the desktop version, although it
didn't appear to at first because I made the change only in the _youtube.rlm
file and not in the youtube page in my RLO. This is a published file running
on the web.

 

I'm not sure what the relationship is between the page wizard icon in the
RLO and the subdirectory which contains the youtube.rlm file on the website.
I had assumed the RLO uses the _youtube.rlm file at runtime, but making the
change there didn't have any effect. When I inserted the snippet below into
the RLO it works. If I rename the subdirectory which contains _youtube.rlm
(which sits in a dir one level below the RLO) the RLO doesn't run properly -
so it needs something out of that directory.

 

This area is a bit confusing to me - the page wizard appears to import all
the code into the RLO, but the subdirectory which holds _youtube.rlm and the
xml/xwd files are obviously needed as well.
