Hi Liz
there may be two different things here but I was responding to your point
about not being able to resize whilst viewing locally via index.htm
Here's a screenshot showing where to get to the trusted location settings.
You can either add a folder path or just a drive letter but the latter in
theory has more risk.
Viewing an LO via a web server url including localhost shouldn't be affected
by the trusted location setting so if that's not working either then it's a
separate issue.
Let us know if the above fixes the issue

Hi Ron,
Further to that, I have tested out running content from our student
machines, and they also don't resize when running windows 7 and internet
explorer, but do work with windows 7 and firefox, so not sure if its to do
with the flashplayer/browser interaction?
(I am also wondering whether I should be looking at Xenith as an alternative
but haven't kept abreast of how far it is as yet...)
Best regards

Hi Ron,
Well I'm really puzzled. When I looked at the flash player security options
they seemed to be for developers testing content based locally accessing
external sites (or vice versa). The code I am testing is hosted on our
website, not locally. It seems as if the DoFScommand isn't being called when
the flash object resizes, but tbh I am reaching the limit of my
knowledge/time to look at this area.
So if you can offer any advice or a fix it would be really appreciated, as
I am just trying to get a body of content authored to get our team on board
using Xerte. If they become aware that it might not run on every student
laptop, they will may not want to go with it.
And it works fine from my PC at work, but not on my laptop.
There seem to be no appropriate flash settings to alter??, as I say my main
concern is that if it doesn't work for me on a laptop, how would our
students access the content we offer from their laptops.
Thanks if you can help

This is almost certainly Flash player security I can't check right now but
you need to add the path to your LO or drive as a trusted location.
Right click in the middle of the LO and select something like settings
advanced trusted locations

the menu bars and it is unusable / unplayable.

so when testing everything works ok until exported to a host on a real
server. no idea what's going on but is there a fix for this?
