Megazine3 template with Picasa3 How to set page height?

[Sloper]

I'm not trying to edit the flash. I am simply using Google Picasa3 with the MegaZine3 template to export to HTML.  However, my pages are not the right height.  How can I fix this so it is not chopping off the bottom of my pages?  My image sizes vary but roughly they are square or close to it (i.e.: 1932x1713) it's for a 12" x 12" scrapbook.

Please tell me there is a simple solution and that since I don't have the .fla I don't have to try and decompile it with Sothink SWF then edit the .fla with Adobe Flash.  Please, tell me this is a simple configuration for the template.

I tried messing with the scale already and that just changes the size of the book and has nothing to do with the pages in the book.

Any suggestions are appreciated but the correct solutions are even more appreciated.

First you have to make the book the right size and ratio with the parameters
pageheight="height in px" and
pagewidth="width in px"

e.g.
pagewidth="1932"
pageheight="1713"

Then you can resize (not scale) the image to the desired size.
If all images are about the same and very similar to the page size, you could use somthing like
<img width="1932" height="1713" src="path to your image" />

or
<img width="1932" keepar="true" src="path to your image" />

which will make the image the desired width and adjust the height so it keeps the aspect ratio.

You then should use something like
minscale="0.25" or even smaller.
Since your images have a high resolution. To enable users with smaller monitors to see the whole image.

And maxscale="1", together with zoomsnap="0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0" and zoomsteps="2"

If you intend to use spreadpages, you have to set the pagewidth half of the image width.

You also could use batchpages, if your images are named accordingly and really all the same in size...

The demo book that is in work will help you also; I just posted some info about how to have a look at the incomplete version:

You could give it a try... or wait until it is available ;-)

Is the demo book available yet?

[Hans Nücke]

Yes, a first draft is available:
Tutorial for MZ3 Producers

Only the first chapters exist, and even of those not all is availble in English. And the videos have to be updated, and ... just a first draft. But hopefully helpful already.
There you also will find a link to a complete package containing sample data (images as jpg and png, swf page, video, audio), a pretty recent MegaZine3 software and smae batch files that help to orgainze your books and that create some sample books to use and to study.

I plan to add content week by week, so check the status regularly.
A link to the tutorial(s) also is provided with the tab "Tutorials" at our home page www.vservu.com (or www.vservu.de for German).
