Frank, if you are having a bad day today... I'm sorry, but two bits of advice: 1) Apologize to Liz for your ungentlemanly reply. 2) In all seriousness, if you are not having a bad day... two links: http://tinyurl.com/g4ftr or, for a quick synopsis: http://tinyurl.com/zxczy Care to start over... P.S. the link did not work for me using Opera... do you have a different/similar link?

It capture screen on SWF files, it doesnt create interactive demo that you can transform your software in SWF and let user click, select menus, open forms, etc. Thanks "Anthoni Gardner" <nono (AT) no (DOT) com> wrote in message news:44ff5c9c (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

You know what I mean, dont you? You don't spend much time around here do you (I count 10 posts from you in my cache)? You might want to take a few moments of time to review this and other Borland forums, and the quality of Liz's replies (bpot notwithstanding <g>).. I'm going to assume Bob was on the right track - you're just having a bad day. To make this useful: you might spend some google time looking for "screencast", "camtasia" and/or "wink".

I've done some truly interactive demos with that, in that you grab screenshots, but then animate parts and can do text entry to show people's names on the screens later etc. It outputs to various formats, including flash IIRC. /Matthew Jones/ Back to top Anton Santa Guest Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 7:56 pm    Post subject: Re: creating interactive demo we did it with www.turbodemo.com it's about you to define the 'interactive' part signing parts of the 'screen' as clickable to start the interested portion (url) of the demo. see http://www.sabesoft.it/html/demo.html and click on 'avviare la demo': it's italian but the technical part it's always the same. regards Toni "Frank Soriano" <franksoriano (AT) programmer (DOT) net> ha scritto nel messaggio news:44ff3133 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Quote: Frank Soriano wrote: do you have any idea of a software to create such demos? macromedia flash will if you design it in it. -- Liz the Brit Delphi things I have released: http://www.xcalibur.co.uk/DelphiThings Not such a bad answer if you ask me. I recently did the PC version of the ECDL (I was forced to!) and this is a fully interactive application that allows a candidate to use MS Office applications. It allowed you to hover over buttons and showed tool tips, open new screens by pressing the appropriate button (i.e. insert a table etc) interact with menus etc. The application was similar to using VMWare player, i.e. it was a desktop within a screen where you could open Word etc. I never actually looked into what they used to create this but I found this link that details how it was created: http://www.smpmedia.net.nz/services/web/portfolio/ecdl.shtml Clearly MS Word isn't created in flash, but the interactive demo was, so your answer IMO is still good. Just my tupence worth Chris F Back to top Frank Soriano Guest Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 11:45 pm    Post subject: Re: creating interactive demo as I already asked interactive demo. Which is different than a demo. The demo is just demonstrates, you sit in your chair and you watch. The word "interactive" puts you to get the mouse and start control the demo by pressing buttons, open menus etc. "Robert" <ngsemail2005withoutthis (AT) yahoo (DOT) com.ar> wrote in message news:45005719 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...
